These are the best educated and informed vets I have ever known. They all truly love and respect their patients, and their patients humans. I cannot say enough about wonderful they are! It is worth the wait. I will never go anywhere else!!

Assembly-line veterinary services, with overworked stressed out staff and doctors. Good prices on routine care for people who would otherwise not be able to afford vaccinations, antibiotics etc. But I will never trust this hospital for any procedure or critical care. In prep. for having my cat undergo a surgery they weighed her incorrectly (I corrected them and had her re-weighed - they were 3lbs over!!! would they have given her that much anesthetic????) and when I asked to have he reweighed, they acted like *I* was out of line! but they actually were wrong. I had seen 3 different vets on the pre-op visits and evidently they did not take notes nor did they communicate with the surgeon who was supposed to preform the surgery because he seemed surprised as I went over her history. . . I left and took out a CareCredit account and paid $300 extra to have the surgery done at a LVSES. I do not regret my choice!

While the cost of this clinic is very low, there is no value because they don't diagnose things properly and you will then have to go spend more money at a qualified veterinarian. They diagnosed one of my dogs with allergies. He had cancer. After seeing another vet that diagnosed it within an hour, the vet at Shively said the second vet must have had different equipment. He had a microscope! They tried to send my other dog home with a blood clot in her leg that was clearly visible and then their "emergency specialist" rolled his eyes and gave me attitude when I pointed it out. They told my sister her cat had allergies when his heart was failing and filling with fluid. You will wait for hours for an appointment while owners scream at their animals because of the complete disorganized chaos in this place. I once waited 2 hours to find they had misplaced our file so we weren't "in line". Horrible place! If you care about your pets, spend an extra $20 elsewhere!

The vets are excellent and compassionate. They have cared for 2 of my dogs (one on long term basis) and explain things well and help you make difficult decisions. If your animal is in the hospital the doctor talks with you daily and additionally anytime you call with questions. Will call to check on animal at home if has had surgery or ill. The staff is great and are there 24 hours. They definitely go the extra mile to do everything for your animal. The system of no appointments is at times a pain, but the wait is well worth it for your animal.

My family has been going to Shively since the late 60's and all of them love it. I now take my dogs to this clinic and love it too. Yes the wait is long but the care your pet's get is well worth all of the wait time. I have called around to other vet's offices to compare prices, Shively by far is the best in town. I have choose Shively to care for my pets now for 3 years.

I took my pup to this vet several times due to a knee injury, NO COMMUNICATION awful if any, rude nurses. DISORGANIZATION !!!! After waiting 4 1/2 hours with my injured puppy I finally went back to the desk to ask if we would be seen, they lost all of her information and charts and forgot to tell me nearly 5 hours later. DO NOT GO THERE. may be Cheap but very disorganized. beore this incident my pup had surgery for her knee, and i was told she needed to be boarded there for two weeks afterwards to be monitored. I went to visit on the 9th day ( earliest they would let me) She had lost at least 20 pounds, wasnt eating and had terrible eye infections, and was soaked in sweat, old dog food. I would not reccommend shivley at all, if anything stay away unless its routine procedures. DO NOT GO THERE FOR SPECIALTIES !!!!

Wonderful docs, great staff, prices that a family with 4 cats, 2 lizards and a dog can afford!!! The wait is long, but really, when the docs are as great as these who cares? I am so glad that my friend refered me to this clinic. They really do go above and beyond caring for your babies.
