If you are looking for a vet I can highly recommend Shinfield vets. From the first telephone call to register we were treated with friendliness and courteousness. On visiting the practice we were greeted by a considerate and pleasant receptionist team. The appointment for the consultation was prompt and the Consultant, Alex was knowledgeable, professional and concise. I am pleased that my little Yorkshire Terrier, Molly Meep Meep will be in a caring environment every time we visit.

What a great experience. Whenever we bring one of our cats here we always find a warm welcome with a friendly smile. Today Skye carried out a 6 month check up on our cat Twix, and she was amazing. Very patient and gentle with her, taking the time to clearly explain things. Superb service.

Highly recommending Shinfield Vets doesn’t do them justice! They’ve been incredibly supportive and empathetic to my current circumstances, and their genuine love for Amy-Rose makes every visit a pleasure rather than a chore. Truly outstanding care – I couldn’t ask for better!

My 10 month puppy Cody absolutely loves coming to the vets because he knows he’ll be greeted by all of the lovely staff, especially his reception friends Daena, Kim and Amie, who have showered him with affection since he was an 8 week ball of fluff. I could not rate this place highly enough. It is always quiet, clean, friendly and well organised. I have almost always been able to book an appointment the day of or a few days after. Everyone that works there is wonderful, with a clear enthusiasm for their work and love for animals.

Used these vets for years and love how they have cared for and interacted with my pets from birth to helping some die with dignity. The caring card and token after meant the world to us. They are always helpful. Quick to see us when we have had emergencies and the treatment has always been second to none. Would definitely recommend and have done to both family and friends. Top job guys. Keep doing what you are doing.
