Ghesvet General Practice – Vets in Shanklin

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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. “”

  • 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.
