About us
Your experienced Belfast vets, delivering a complete service for your pets
Who we are
Gortlands Vets has been an established part of the Dundonald, Castlereagh and Greater Belfast communities for decades.
When it comes to caring for your pet, we hope to meet – and ideally exceed! – your expectations.
That’s why we do our best to make sure you can get an appointment the same day you call us, while providing a complete in-house service.
From puppy and kitten checks and routine care to preventative treatments, diagnostics, medicine and surgeries, we’re proud to offer everything under one roof at our comfortable, modern vet clinic.
Putting you and your pet first
Since opening in 1968, we have made it our mission to deliver the high quality, efficient care you and your pet deserve.
We’ve honed our craft over the years and developed our services for local puppies, dogs, kittens and cats, all while maintaining our RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accreditation at our premises on Gilnahirk Road.
We take great care of thousands of pets every year – but don’t just take our word for it! We have clients hailing from all over, including Greater Belfast, Dundonald, Castlereagh, Moneyreagh, Carryduff, Ballygowan, Comber and Holywood.
