Highfield Veterinary Navan – Vets in Navan
Clinic Overview
Highfield Veterinary Navan is part of the Highfield Veterinary Group. From the website and reviews, it appears set up as a hospital-style practice that also deals with urgent/emergency presentations. Owners repeatedly describe vets taking time to explain options clearly and without rushing and being thorough in examinations (including “examined my dog 100%” and “took time to talk and investigate”). Reviews also mention end-of-life support, including compassion around decision-making and providing keepsakes (paw prints) and a small remembrance packet. There is some conflict in feedback: one recent review alleges a rushed approach to diagnostics (medication offered before blood work) and a missed promised call-back, while many others report attentive care.
Services
- •Emergency care is stated on the clinic website (“handles emergency situations with urgency and expertise”).
- •Care for dogs is referenced repeatedly in reviews (multiple owners describing examinations and treatment for their dogs).
- •Exotics/small furries care is explicitly mentioned by one owner who “followed” a vet there for exotic pets.
- •Euthanasia/end-of-life care and support is described in detail in a review (help with the decision-making process and respectful handling afterwards).
- •Diagnostic work-ups are discussed in reviews: one owner reports being offered medication first with tests/scans only if symptoms didn’t improve; other reviews describe vets “investigating” and being “thorough,” but without naming specific tests.
People
- •Sofia (vet): described as exceptionally thorough (“examined my dog 100%”), giving “a huge amount of advice,” and providing “excellent treatment.”
- •Marta (vet): mentioned for compassionate care for both dogs and exotics; one owner described her “going above and beyond” when an exotic pet was ill, and providing support and keepsakes after the pet couldn’t be saved.
- •Victor (vet): described as gentle and thorough, taking time to talk and investigate, and engaging with children during the visit; also helped lift a dog into the car afterwards.
- •Karen (front desk/reception, role implied by greeting on arrival): described as engaging and reassuring when owners arrived worried about their pet.

Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Have been here a few times and some of the staff are plain rude and have a terrible attitude. Brought my cat in today as he hasn't been feeling well and instead of doing any blood work to find out what the actual issue is, they presume it's an upset tummy and prescribe medication. Said if it doesn't work, they'll have to do scans and tests.. why not just do a blood analysis in the first place to prevent misdiagnosis which this practise has done if you read the other reviews. Was told I'd get a call back when I rang over another symptom he presented with that was worrying, no call and vet had gone home by the time I rang again, no consideration/apology and given a crap excuse instead. Doesn't feel like some of them even care.

Very satisfied with the vets. I highly recommend vet Sofia. She is an amazing professional — in 5 years, I’ve never met a vet like her. She was thorough, responsible, and examined my dog 100%. She also gave a huge amount of advice and provided excellent treatment. Wishing you all the best, Sofia!

Excellent vets. They are kind, caring and very knowledgeable. Everything is explained properly without rush and no doubt left behind everytime. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else.

We followed Marta to Highfield for the care of our little exotics. She always goes above and beyond when they've been ill, our last little one Wilbur couldn't be saved despite best efforts. Marta and the other staff showed such compassion in helping make the decision to let him go, and looked after him so well, they got little tiny paw prints and a little packet of forget me knots seeds that my daughter is now taking care of for him. The respect and understanding they showed for a small furry, and for my daughter (12) who had a great little bond with him was amazing! Thanks again Marta

I've had two experiences with Highfield Vets in Navan and I have to say, both have been extremely positive. Our first visit we were seen by Marta who was kind, reassuring and treated my dog Lila with respect, kindness and compassion. Our second visit we were seen by Victor and he is so kind, sweet and gentle, stopping to chat and engage with my children which is so important as they too are pet owners and have grown up with our dog, they don't know life without her so including them helps reassure them too. Victor was thorough, took time to talk and investigate, and helped lift our dog into the car when we were leaving. Karen, who greeted both times, is lovely, funny and engaging and everything you would want on arrival when you're worried about your pet.
