I have visited many vets over the years of owning dogs in both Canada and the US, and have had highlights and challenges a plenty...but I have to say that I felt so fortunate to have found Dr. Gilles. The facilities are gorgeous (which is an added bonus!) I had already seen our regular vet in Campbell River twice to try to get a diagnosis. She never even suggested putting my dog on the table-- she greeted my dog, let my dog sniff her and get comfortable before doing anything. She spent over an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my dog (she has a strange hop). She even came outside the office to see if she could see the movement. She also understood that I would rather try to do preventative exercises than wait until my dog's knee blew out and needed surgery (which is what the other vet told me I would have to do). She gave me preventative exercises for my dog to do and even said that I could send a video of the hopping to see if she could actually give me a diagnosis without me having to drive down to Comox again. She also understood that my pet insurance would only cover additional treatment for another couple of months and that she would try to help me get some solutions before the end of the insurance. Seriously the best vet visit I've ever had.

I currently have two dogs and have been coming to Shamrock vet for over 15 years, I am not sure how long ago Dr Pawel took the practice over but the quality of care he and his staff give is second to none, the front end staff are always helpful and friendly, recently our family's beloved Cocker Spaniel ( 10 years old ) got Lymphoma cancer, fortunately when he was a puppy I purchased a health insurance plan for him, ( recommended ), Shamrock Vet was able to work with me and the plan to put our dog through chemo therapy, our Spaniel had to make many visits back and forth to Shamrock vet where all of the staff from the front desk girls to the vet tec's to Dr. Pawel himself always made sure our dog was comforted and most times they lay'd out a special blanket they had set aside for him which he would roll around on while he was there, some times for hours, 1.5 years later our furry friend is still with us and he goes back regularly for check ups, he still gets the special blanket, thank you Dr Pawel and all your staff, you are the best!

My fur children have been going to Shamrock Vet Clinic for over a decade. I had gone to a lot of other vet clinics in the Comox Valley before going to Shamrock Vet Clinic and in my experience , it has been the best clinic amd staff. Whether it has been introducing a new pet to the vet and team or end of life care and saying good-bye, the team has been there for our family. The staff are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and believe it or not, my dogs enjoying going. Thanks to Dr. P, my dogs are able to walk and enjoy a pain free and active lifestyle.

Amazing service, Amazing front ended staff! I was recommended to then by my vet when I moved here and after going to another local vet and not being happy. I’m so glad I made the switch! Affordable prices and amazing care. The love they show my pets (senior cat, young cat and puppy) is beyond what I expect from a vet! They have a vet who specializes in cat which is a added bonus for me! They spend the time to bond with my girls and both the cats and puppy enjoy visiting.

I don't mind my animal being greeted first when we walk in but I kind of want to be greeted too afterwards. Is it just me? I mean, look past the bald head and tattoos and I'm a really nice guy that loves his animals. But still, I feel like I'm just a wallet walking in and my animal is the customer.
Luckily, the actual Vets inside are helpful, considerate and knowledgeable. Perhaps a little too gun-shy when it comes to cost/value comparisons for your pets health: she was extremely nervous when trying to explain I should get this test done for my dog, that it would do her (my dog) good but I don't have to get it if I felt so. I just wanted to break the ice and asked how much it was and she replied, $20. Come on.
I understand, I mean, some people end their pet care at the bare minimum of necessity, but $20? Come on. It's still not detracting from the fact they are a great Vet.

The best vet I have ever been to. We found them when we were looking to spay our dog because they offer a more minimally invasive ovectomy. The process went perfectly and our pup recovered quickly.
A few month later our dog got sick and our local vet gave up, so in desperation we returned to Shamrock and they worked tirelessly to diagnose her. When it was discovered her illness was serious they revered us on to a specialist in Vancouver who confirmed their diagnosis and got us started on a course to recovery. Shamrock checked in with us daily while she was in the hospital, and when we were out of danger they took over our dogs continued care, helping us nurse our dog back to happy, playful self.
Now we make the 2 hour drive to them whenever she is due for a check in...they have our trust and we are forever greatful for the care they gave us.

I was visiting Comox and my dog had an injury that needed immediate care. We were able to get in promptly, but received substandard care from Dr. Judith. My pup is 9mos and fearful of new people, and she mistook his barking for aggression and made me muzzle him, hold him down, and show her his injury so she didn't need to touch him or come close. My pup has never bitten and if Dr. Judith had taken a few extra minutes to gain his trust she would have been able to handle him on her own without a problem (he attends regular weekly vet visits at home due to a birth defect with no issues).
