I love Shively Animal Clinic! While I am never thrilled with the wait, I know it is worth the wait in both quality of care and finances. As the owner of 4 older dogs, there is no way I could afford to keep my eldest(18 + y/o) if I were visiting a traditional vet. His mind, spunk, general health and playfulness are all still very evident, though his older body is giving out on him. I absolutely could not keep his aches and pains manageable were it not for Shively and there affordability.\r

As far as care and compassion, they are top notch! After every visit I get a call a day or two later to see how my baby(ies) is doing. They know and understand that our pets are like our children, and every doctor I have seen has given me and my babies all the time and attention we have needed. Never have I felt rushed, an inconvenience, a burden, etc. Dr. Joyce specifically has been wonderful with my 18 y/o corgi. \r

With the sheer volume of people they see on a daily basis, I am sure
