Shelton Veterinary Clinic

Edit: The hospital Manager is extremely professional and contacted me regarding my review. I do have positives to say. The antibiotic has greatly helped my cat. The reception staff is very good. And they will make it right to the best of the ability if there is a problem with the visit. I was impressed that this was handled so quickly and with care by those running this facility. It makes a difference. Thank you for your kindness regarding this situation. I have edited the original review to just the facts and no longer emotions. As well as have said above my gratitude and thank you for reaching out. The vet tech was very rude at first and didn't have the experience to handle cats at all. The appointment time was 915 am I left there just before noon. Was told about other people's emergency losses and was in tears for most of the visit. I was also horrified to find out that they questioned any good decision they recommended to me as if I wasn't going to do what was best for my cat. The clients are very nice. Again the clientele here are just amazing people. Shelton does attract good clients and I will continue to consider then for my cats care after this contact to fix. 💖

My family and myself has been using this vet for over 20 years. They are very good, caring, and fair. I have never once had a negative experience with them. They have given my pets excellent treatment, and on more than one occasion they have saved my pet’s lives. If you are looking for a vet, pick Shelton’s!

Shelton vet was my preferred place to take my pets. They’d always been kind and caring and their prices were reasonable. About three months ago my precious 14 year old kitty got sick and would not eat. They prescribed him an antibiotic with side effects that discouraged eating. It was so essential that he get back to eating because they did blood work and his kidney values weren’t good. Additionally I asked for some flea medication and I was not warned that I should not have my cat on the antibiotic and the flea treatment. In part I recognize I should have asked but I also feel I should’ve been advised not to give both. I gave him both at the same time. A week later he was still not eating and had almost lost a full pound so I brought him back to the vet and explained my concerns. They gave me morphine. This would knock him out and leave him extremely groggy. He could barely stand when he took that. In short the issue wasn’t being addressed. I don’t know if perhaps the office knew my baby was dying and didn’t have the heart to tell me but I would’ve preferred they told me. I would’ve done what I could to make sure he passed away before things kept turning for the worst. Instead I held on to hope cruelly. He only got skinnier and a few days later his paws had gone cold and he was unable to stand at all on his own. He craved hiding places close to us and one night woke me up yowling from the pain of his internal organs shutting down. I had saved some of the morphine and gave him a dose. His confusion calmed down and his pain did too. He fought so hard to live. My kitty passed away November 27 2021. Three months later I was in need to get my bunny to eat. He had GI stasis and Shelton had previously taken care of him before. They’d give him a massage and some IV fluids and pain medications and he’d be fine the next day. I called to bring him in but this time they refused me service and told me I needed to go to an exotics veterinarian. Didn’t give any explanation as to why.

My goats are my babies. One ripped it's hind leg tendon. They were able to see it back together and saved Tips leg. This year one of my Does went into labor. She was having hard times. The vets and assistants not only saved Gin, but her twin boys. The Twins.

First time visit last week with my dog. She is extremely shy/timid/skiddish but the staff was wonderful with her and very patient. I will definitely continue to come here and can't say enough how awesome they made our first visit.
