Dog & Cat Vets in Shanklin

## Summary Ghesvet General Practice appears to be a single-vet, “no-nonsense” general practice (clients repeatedly refer to “Olivier” by name). Reviews describe it handling a wide mix of animals—including horses as well as common pets (dogs, cats, even pigs and a parrot)—and offering both in-clinic and at-home care when needed. Concrete examples mentioned include same-day help for urgent issues (a dog seen immediately for a paw injury; same-day appointment for anal gland problems), follow-up treatment when symptoms persisted (a later steroid injection for ongoing itching), and home euthanasia arranged by rearranging appointments and attending early. ## Services Based on the latest written reviews available to us, owners specifically mention: - Care for multiple species: dogs, cats, horses, pigs, and a parrot. - Same-day/urgent appointments (asked to come “immediately” for a paw injury; same-day appointment for anal gland issues). - Minor injury/foreign body treatment: removal of a blackthorn embedded in a dog’s paw. - Medication provided: antibiotics after paw treatment; steroid injection for persistent scratching. - Anal gland treatment (described as “anal glands play up”). - End-of-life care, including **at-home euthanasia**, with appointments rearranged to attend early. ## Pricing Pricing isn’t listed, but multiple reviews explicitly describe fees as **“very reasonably priced”** for urgent treatment (foreign body removal with antibiotics; repeat visit including a steroid injection) and for at-home euthanasia support. ## People - **Olivier (vet)**: Mentioned by name in end-of-life reviews. Owners describe him rearranging appointments to come first thing in the morning for a euthanasia visit, and providing space to talk afterwards (“listening to our memories”). Other reviews describe him as gentle and quick in handling a painful paw injury (removing an embedded blackthorn before the dog could react), with a “great sense of humour,” and a “no nonsense” style. ## Reviews **4.7 stars from 100 reviews.** The comments we can see are brief but include several detailed accounts of urgent care and at-home end-of-life support. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Fast access for problems that felt urgent (told to come in immediately; same-day appointments). - Practical, decisive treatment with clear outcomes (foreign body removed quickly; antibiotics given; steroid injection on a second visit that resolved itching). - At-home euthanasia support: scheduling flexibility, early visits, and an emphasis on keeping the pet comfortable at home.
