After many many years with Shearbridge and the last with 12 years with Hipperholme we moved house and have had to change vets. The practice has been excellent in every way. Our retriever had a rare cancer which was diagnosed and operated upon locally with success until 4 years later when she succumbed to the terrible disease. We have since become owners of two beautiful cockepoos and they have had excellent care from Shearbridge at Hipperholme. The vets, nurses and reception staff have always been really accomodating and helpful which has meant a great deal to our family. We are very reluctant to leave the pratice but would absolutely recommend to others. Read Less

I took my cat to see Kevan for a second opinion regarding my older cat, he was amazing, he explained everything very clearly and reviewed Ollie within a month of his initial consultation. Kevan is definitely a cat person, he did not charge for the follow up appointment and his bedside manner was excellent. I really would recommend using this vet. Read Less

Used them from getting my dog as a pup till she died....was ok for minor things but when it counted, one female vet in particular, I felt let my dog down in the biggest way possible! Never got a full explanation on any test results, when I raised concerns over some medication my dog was prescribed by the female vet and that I didn't think it was agreeing with her I was advised to carry on with the medication which I did 4 days later my dog died, felt the female vet I saw was more interested in making money than the health of my dog.......I will never use them ever again!

Having had experiences with vets all over Europe , I can not recommend this Veterinary practice highly enough. Be it the usual yearly injections , or operations , each time we had a very positive experience. And that applies not only to the vets , but equally to the nurses and very friendly and helpful reception staff. Thank you from the Ward family with BUSTER!!!!!! Read Less

Great vets ! Never really found a vets i am completely happy with but after moving to Halifax and taking our new puppies to Shearbridge we have been looked after from the start by knowledgable vets and friendly receptionists ! Thank you from Willow & WinstonRead Less

The veterinary skills are fine but the communication and customer service skills are very poor. I requested castration and microchip at a cost of 49. I was talked into a kitten package at 55 which, I was told, also included vaccinations, flea and worm treatment. What nobody told me at any point was that the kitten package didn't actually include castration which had been my original request, so instead of a bill of 110 (2 kittens) on collection I was presented with a bill of 176 which I feel is extortionate. As I couldn't get any satisfaction from the practice itself - I was offered two flea treatments as a gesture of goodwill! - you will be able to read my story in the T&A soon. Read Less

Took our canary who had a bad leg. vet removed bands of both legs, and also cut nails on good foot too, charged us 160. next morning the good foot was bleeding from the nails, returned to the vet who put a huge bandage in the tiny canarys leg, the canary kept pecking at it more and was bleeding still, rung to told them, was told we'd have a call back, we never received one, we rang again to be told the vet was going away the next day and they would not be able to see us untill the Friday. In this time we tried to see other vets, but due to the state of he bird we was advised that no one would see us due to legal reasons due to the condition of the bird. Friday morning two hours before his appointment after bleeding all week and after by this point spending over 200 our little beautiful canary died, after a horrific week. Would never advise this vet to anyone. Read Less

An amazing vets along with there another veterinary practice in Hipperholme. We sad lost our Millie dog to cancer and they was brilliant with her and me who was very upset. It's not about money with these vets it's about the pets. They offered us to go to PDSA to get an op but it was to late to save our dog. Still using the vets for my other dog. BECKY WAS AMAZING. Would not use any other vets. Thank you. Read Less

My lovely border collie Ben has been unwell for a few weeks. He always loves going to Shearbridge vets, usually in Hipperholme and recently in Queensbury. He has been diagnosed with diabetes and has just started his treatment. The vets and staff have been amazing and care so much for my boy. It has made a hard few weeks so much better. Thanks to all of you! Read Less
