I truthfully couldn’t recommend highly enough! Not only are the team fantastic with my dogs, they’re so courteous, warm and professional. Top drawer! My boy attended puppy parties, hosted but Shophie Byrne, and absolutely loves attending the practice. My Blue staffy has complex needs: he has had two ops on right back leg and he also has allergies; treated with a maintainable jab, monthly. We do require veterinary assistance, regularly. We also have a rescue staffy pup who, so far, enjoys good health, but has been spayed. Two weeks ago, we had an emergency and my husband was rushed, from GP surgery via ambulance, to hospital. I had to take some belongings to him and had my blue boy with me. When he saw his “dad” he wouldn’t move and was crying, I had no idea how I was going to get him home. He just refused to move. As he’s 28kg and built like a tank, I was in trouble. As we were only over the road from Medivet Shawbirch, I had an idea. I was able to coax him across the road. Once outside the vets, he was really eager to get inside! Georgia came to the door and she and Eliza were happy to let him in. I looked through the door to see them playing with my boy on the floor. This made what was an extremely distressing and worrying situation so much easier to cope with. They kept him until my husband was on the way to hospital, then brought him out to me. As he’d been distracted and kept occupied, I was then able to walk him home! Both Georgia and Eliza were absolutely lovely and offered to keep him for longer! My husband was in hospital for a few days, very unwell, but is now fully recovered. The relationship between veterinary staff and owners of pets is paramount in terms of establishing trust and peace of mind. The team is outstanding and my blue staffy boy is always most eager to attend the surgery. I know both he and my rescue staffy are in great hands! Thanks so much!

Fantastic team. Last week, my husband was rushed to hospital, by ambulance from Shawbirch medical centre. I don’t drive but had to take him clothes etc. I had my blue staffy boy with me. Sheba my husband turned to leave, my boy began to cry and refused to move. I was upset and was stuck, being unable to coax him home. As we were opposite Medivet, and my boy loves to attend, I managed to wrestle him to the door. Georgia and Eliza were amazing! They took him inside and played with him for 10 minutes. By the time they brought him back out to me, he was no longer looking for my husband and I was able to get him home. I believe that attending puppy parties, run by Sophie, gave my boy a really positive introduction to the practise and he loves attending even though he has needed invasive procedures and surgery. At a very difficult time for my family, Eliza and Georgia, made the experience so much easier to deal with. My husband has fully recovered and is back at home. A massive thank you to the team at Shawbirch.

Cannot believe this practice has been closed yet again without notification to its clients. Justin has been invaluable in dealing with my irish wolfhound Fergus the most proficient vet I have dealt with in years

Great friendly small local vets. However their costs are expensive compared to other local vets.

Lovely vets - our rescue cat has turned out to have a few health issues and the vets have been really lovely, helpful and supportive. We've called for some advice and they have been really calm and understanding, explain things really well and cautious about putting the animal through stressful procedures that may not be needed. We had to rush our cat in on a Sunday morning and were put through to the Shrewsbury branch straight away, they saw us within 30 minutes and had all of our cats previous records to hand - I was really impressed. Even though we weren't allowed in with him due to COVID the vet talked to us over the phone and I felt really reassured he was in good hands.

I recently popped in to the Vets for some advice about my new puppy and Sophie, the Veterinary Nurse was amazing. I had only had my puppy for a couple of days and needed some reassurance and advice. Sophie gave me so much information about every aspect and really eased my mind. I would thoroughly recommend Shawbirch Vets to anyone!
