Sydney Nagle MVB MRCVS is the principal of Cara Veterinary Group. Having qualified from University College Dublin in 1982, he spent a year working with large animals. Following that, he travelled to South Africa to work for a welfare organisation in the animal rescue centres, wher
he became an expertly skilled surgeon. He soon became their Chief Veterinarian and resided there for 12 years.

Upon his return to Ireland in 1995, he purchased and developed the Animal Clinic in Castleknock and a branch clinic at the Phoenix Park Gate.
He then relocated the Castleknock branch to the River Road in Ashtown and remained there for 7 years.

Today

Our standards, facilities and resources in Ballycoolin have since been recognised to be of such calibre, that upon inspection, the Veterinary
Council of Ireland accredited our Veterinary Clinic as a Registered Veterinary Hospital (RVH) (the highest possible accreditation for a veterinary practice).

By meeting the Veterinary Council's rigorous standards, we ensure that every animal receives maximum attention and care, with the highest level
 of customer satisfaction. In this new era of veterinary health care; clients expect the best for their pets so we have an obligation as a profession to provide it.
