What pet owners say
Shinfield Vets have looked after my dogs for amost a decade. They treated Pip, my 17yr old Staffy Cross, with the highest level of care and dignity, right until the bitter end. They now show that same dedication and passion, whenever I take my latest rescue pooch (Elver), in to see them. Shinfield Vets is not the cheapest service in Reading. However, I have never been suprised by the prices either! Everyone there is amazing at talking through different options and providing quotes/ideas of costs, before you decide. There have been several times, where I have been struggling financially and after explaining this, they have openly discussed alternative approaches and options, whilst ensuring I know the pros and cons. All of the staff are friendly, professional and create a warm, welcoming environment. An additional bonus is that Shinfield Vets is part of the Pet Health Club Membership, which can help save a lot of money on regular costs, such as flea, worming, vaccinations and consultation costs.

Outstanding Service from Shinfield Vets. All of the staff know our 2 cats and always give them the best care ever. I would not fault them in any way. They always advise and treat the cats with respect and always have a very friendly chat with their owners !!! Absolute pleasure to deal with the team

Had to take our dog (English bull terrier) up for a split toe nail and could not fault any of the staff! They were so welcoming from the moment we entered to the moment we left. The vet was really quick at treating him, answered all our questions and did not fob us off! Some vets assume that our dog is vicious (he’s would like you to death) but did not get one question or asked for him to be muzzled which means a lot to us! Just the people you want looking after your furry friends. Major says a big thankyou ❤️

We were recommended by a colleague as well as another vets to bring our bearded dragon, Marshall, here. We were very anxious about this as we’ve had bad experiences in the past with other veterinary practices, one which has resulted in the loss of a previous rescue beardie in quite a devastating way. However, from the second we entered the staff were lovely. All of the girls in the front were incredibly welcoming and gushing over our sweet boy which was a very pleasant thing to hear. The wait time was not long at all and the consultation itself went perfectly, Sophie was a star with Marshall, doing a full checkup on him and informing us of what she was doing each step of the way. She made everything very clear including making sure our setup was spot on, asking us about his diet and lifestyle which was a drastic change of pace from other vets we’ve been too who seemed to have no interest in what could be effecting his health at home. She determined he was all healthy and comforted our worries and even sent us a care sheet, even though she agreed we were doing everything right it was wonderful to have something to refer too just to learn a bit more and make sure we were taking care of him the best we could. She also made sure we were aware of other services they offer which could be helpful to give them a ground reference for his health since he has no health records, just incase he was to ever get sick in the future, e.g bloods. On the way out the desk staff had cuddles with our angel and gave him a very pleasant goodbye, including taking photos of him. The price was incredibly cheap compared to other vets, around £67 which for most exotic appointments in comparison was astounding. I was expecting around £150–200 which is close to what I have been quoted in the past. We will definitely be bringing our other reptiles in just for checkups thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable vets and super friendly staff as well as the amazing prices.

We brought Teddy to Shinfield Vets and had a really positive experience. The clinician was very kind, polite and professional, and made us feel at ease. The receptionist was lovely too, very welcoming and helpful. Thank you to the whole team for taking such good care of Teddy.
