What pet owners say
We can’t thank the team at Shirley Vets enough for everything they’ve done for our boy. After being told by an after-hours clinic to put him down, we brought him straight here — and they immediately gave him the care, attention, and kindness he desperately needed. They got him back on IV fluids, checked his temperature, syringe-fed him, and kept such a close eye on him all day. By that same evening, he was perking up, eating, and purring again. They never gave up on him — and because of that, he’s still here with us Every single person we dealt with genuinely cared, and you could see how much they love what they do. We’re so grateful. 💛 Thank you, Shirley Vets, for giving our cat another chance and for treating him like one of your own

I was super impressed with our visit here. Our fur boy is getting older and sadly we were delivered news that no owner wants to hear. Our vet was Dr DB and without a doubt, our experience was the best we have had in the years of owning a pet. Dr DB was thorough, asked good questions, went through the various scenarios and allowed plenty of time for me to ask questions around the options and next steps. The care and compassion she took to listen and thoughtfully answer all my questions was appreciated. Thank you for making what was terrible news, more bearable due to the delivery, approach, care, professionalism and understanding.

My dog, Charlie, is my life. A few weeks ago he became very unwell and needed to have emergency surgery after swallowing a piece of bark that lodged in his small intestines. We have used Shirley Vet Clinic for years as their staff are all so caring, knowledgeable, and friendly. Once again I was blown away by everything that the team did to save my boy. The aftercare was also top notch. Charlie is nearly back to 100%. I can’t thank the team enough for everything. They are amazing. If you are looking for a highly skilled team to look after your pets, call Shirley Vet Clinic.
