Life Savers!
My two dogs, Lady and Earl, are alive today thanks to the team at Sunbeam Veterinary Hospital at Northpoint in Cork. Lady is Earl's mum.
On Tuesday 13 January 2026 my two dogs ate sausages while on a walk in Ballincollig. These sausages had been laced with poison.
Sunbeam had their night team ready and waiting for us and they successfully kept my dogs alive that night and over the next 8 days.
My dogs are now home but would not be so if it wasn't for the professionalism, experience and hard work by all the team at Sunbeam Northpoint who went above and beyond to keep my dogs alive and enable them to survive this ordeal.
It was very touch and go for the first 5 days with only a cautiously optimistic being mentioned on day 6.
The day and night teams updated me regularly, and I really appreciated those calls every morning and late at night. As Lady and Earl, improved it was evident on my daily visits to see them that from the reception staff to the nursing and veterinary staff, the entire team were so invested in their care.
Earl and Lady, being Weimaraners can be standoffish with people but my dogs became very attached to all the team at Sunbeam as witnessed by a recent return visit when they rushed in the door, tails wagging to see who was on !! Earl and Lady have told me in confidence that Sunbeam has " the best humans ever" on site.
This review is to thank the wonderful people at Sunbeam not only for their veterinary knowledge but for their compassion, kindness and empathetic communication. If you are a new pet owner, this is the place in Cork to bring your pet for excellent veterinary care served up with kindness and professionalism.
