Shelburne Veterinary - Shelburne, Nova Scotia

My little Yorkie was spayed at the Shelburne Vet. This was June 25 2024. For the past 4 days she’s been vomiting and very very bad diarrhea. Called the Shelburne Vet nope couldn’t see my yorkie today only Thursday ..I said no way called another Vet. Good thing I did..one of her sutures that was supposed to be dissolved was so long that it was starting to penetrate her bowels!! had she not had surgery today by this amazing VETERINARIAN office ..she would have never made it till Thursday. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHELBURNE VET TO ANYONE. DROP MY MIC …

I had my pup spayed by Dr. Steele. Through no fault of hers my poor pup had a bad reaction to just about everything. She went above and beyond to help us out. Dr Steele was very helpful and caring and thorough. My little girl is fine now and back to normal. Thank you so much Dr. Rebecca Steele.

They did a spay for us and had our "Roxy" back home in a few hours. All done internally with only one stitch to take out later. Too bad they don't accept new clients as they have all they can handle now. Very caring and helpful.

They are not taking new clients so it’s doubtful you can become a patient anyway. As summer visitors to Shelburne they reluctantly helped us when our dog with mast cell tumor needed to be put down. The service was preformed in a kind manner, yet it was scheduled several days after our desperate need. Who does that? Next Tuesday at 2 we can euthanize your dog?

It was suggested I call later on to determine if they are taking new clients. Every time I call it’s a no-go. Of course we want a Vet close to our home in case of emergency. We don’t mind a yearly “well-check” visit, too. Unfortunately, this is not that kind of Veterinary clinic.

The previous Veterinary Shelburne clinic was wonderful! Losing that kind of inclusive, caring, skilled clinic has been a terrible blow to a fabulous small town. The former clinic was not open every day but if you needed their help they welcomed you, they advised you, they did their best. Wish this new place would change their ways … or that another clinic would establish in Shelburne, NS.

Super friendly and compassionate staff. Truely professional

Would give zero stars if that was an option. Unfortunately we had to bring our pet here to be put down. The experience was far from comforting as they didn’t administer the proper amount of anesthesia. Process was not smooth and made our dog suffer. Furthermore they don’t maintain proper records. Would strongly advise people to take their pets elsewhere. Got the impression they are more about money then they are caring for pets.

My wife phoned asking about the possibility of ordering in a special diet dog food. She was put off immediately by the angry sounding woman who answered. First by the tone of her voice when she picked up the phone and secondly by her blunt, curt tone and the answer to her question. She was very quickly dismissed with no offer of further help. Next she phoned the Barrington vet where she not only received a very warm, friendly, happy response, she was also told they could order in the food for her. We will only be dealing with the Barrington vet from now on. Based on the other reviews I have read, it sounds like this vet office definitely needs to change their front desk staff customer service manners and disposition. They need to keep in mind that whoever answers the phone or greets people at the door are the first impression that a potential client makes of the place.

The customer service and bed side manner is not always great here. I wish they could show a little more compassion for pet owners with sick animals. I will never even call this vet again, I requested all my documents and have since moved vets and much more comfortable now. I could go on, but I won’t.
