Fantastic people who treat both pets and parents with respect and care. They are very polite and friendly.
We moved here over the last few months as our previous “popular vets” provided poor services with rude staff who would leave you waiting for 45 minutes. When I go to Shannon lodge I get my appointment time and if there was to be any delay at all. I would be politely informed not ignored and avoided.
Bring your pets to Shannon lodge. Best place around. Read Less

We've been registered at Shannon Lodge with our 3 dogs for about 7 years. We have always had excellent care and advice each time we have needed their help. We would highly recommend them.

The vet consultation itself is fine, I have a bunny who is very timid and the slightest thing can slow his digestion down. The first time it cost about £70 for injection, consultation and a bit of medicine but each time the price has gotten higher, paying over £100 last time. It's a lot of money to pay out and it feels like they are taking advantage of me. I am going to be looking into a vet plan at VetsForPets. Read Less

My dog has recently been treated by Vet Aaron Gilmore with a persistent cough. During my numerous visits I have let Aaron know that I am very short of money and unable to pay for expensive treatments. On our first visit he let us know he found the case interesting and wanted to do full chest x-rays, heart scans and other tests, I got the feeling this was very much like a case study he wanted to do. I let him know that we could not afford this as the bill would be well over 250 just for tests (no treatment) and a he even admitted there was a good possibility it would not be at all conclusive. Over the last few months he has repeatedly tried to guilt my wife into having these expensive procedures, even after I asked him to stop trying to convince her to take the treatment. When I made my last visit he started an argument with me in front of my 6 month old son when I again refused to take this route of testing, he very sternly told be about my moral obligation and responsibility. My dog is nearly 17 years old and I have paid for 6 visits trying various things to help my dog, I am fully aware of my responsibility and it hurt me greatly that someone would accuse me of not caring. Money is not an issue to those who possess it. It is a shame but the cheap options were all I had available to me as my priorities are keeping a roof over my wife and child's head.
This vet was obsessed with diagnostic testing when trying a few different drugs is much cheaper. He did not care for my animal and seemed only bothered about doing it the way he wanted to which coincidentally was the most expensive and profitable route.
I am currently in the process of drafting a formal complaint to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons where I will hopefully put together a much more succinct complaint.
