Best Vets in Shrewsbury – Complete Local Guide

Medivet Sutton Farm is part of the Medivet group and has been providing pet care for over 20 years. The practice offers standard appointments as 15‑minute consultations and supports both routine care and more involved medical work, with owners describing pets staying in for tests and being kept closely updated. The clinic is set up for diagnostics (in‑house lab, X‑rays, ultrasound, and ECG on the service list), and reviews mention scans and tests being run promptly for unwell pets. Owners also describe regular phone updates during hospital stays and clear discharge guidance plus follow-up details when taking pets home.

Green Hollow Veterinary Surgery is described by clients as an independent practice, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews suggest the team is set up for long-term ongoing care (multiple clients mention several years of use) as well as end-of-life support, including at least one account of being seen after hours when a pet deteriorated. Owners also specifically mention the practice being “sensible” and “not out to rip you off”, and handling a bird appointment involving claw clipping, beak trimming, and leg-ring removal.

Malthouse Veterinary Group Ltd is an independent practice. For emergencies outside normal hours, the clinic directs clients to Shrewsbury Pet Hospital for 24/7 emergency care (as stated on its website). Based on the latest reviews, the clinic appears set up for routine preventative care alongside treatment for urgent injuries and surgical cases. Owners repeatedly mention: - Quick access to appointments, including same-day availability when needed. - A pets app used to order medications and ask questions, with prompt replies also reported. - Ongoing support through difficult visits, with vets explaining treatment/investigation options clearly. - Hands-on care in complex situations, including a dog recovering after being savaged by another dog and a pet recovering after surgery.

Medivet 24 Hour Shrewsbury is part of the Medivet group and is set up for both routine appointments and round-the-clock urgent care, backed by on-site advanced diagnostics (including CT) and surgical facilities (including an orthopaedic theatre). The website states it’s open 24/7/365 and offers phone assessment with no charge, with a published out-of-hours consult fee. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention overnight hospitalisation (including fluid support), emergency triage for suspected poisoning with tests and treatment, and clear, ongoing updates about results and options. Several reviews also describe considerate handling of end-of-life appointments, including being given a specific appointment time and a private, quiet space to say goodbye.

Copthorne Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent practice and, based on the information available, offers routine care (vaccinations, health checks, microchipping, neutering) alongside emergency veterinary services and operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews focus heavily on end-of-life support: owners describe being talked through options before euthanasia and being given time and space to grieve, with small gestures from the team (for example, staff lighting a candle). Pricing feedback is mixed: one owner calls a £49 consultation “steep,” while another describes the clinic as “reasonably priced.”
