I have been bringing my dogs to Shaffer for over 20 years and the staff here are exceptional at what they do. They really care about your pets. They’re always friendly, caring, informative and listen to your concerns. They check your beloved pet from head to tail and always recommend whatever is in the animals best interest. I will continue coming here for as long as I have pets - truly a wonder practice.

Made first visit last week - hands down the best veterinarian experience we have ever had and have had dogs for 35 years. The doctor was amazing - so kind so easy to understand and so willing to give us information and make sure we understood. it countered 4 other staff members - all phenomenal. you can see they all truly enjoy doing what they do. Highly recommend.

Wow! I am blown away with the service provided today at Shaffer Animal Hospital. This here is Luna, my 3 yr old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Luna previously went to EOAH on Lake Underhill and her doctor will be leaving soon so we made the switch to Shaffer because they are a Fear Free Certified Veterinarian Hospital. I myself am a Fear Free Certified Professional Groomer so implementing a Fear Free environment at the vet was crucial for me as we are heavily involved with Fear Free methods at home and in my grooming salon. We met with Dr. Gerish this morning, and was serviced by our technician, Jade. Each young lady represented themselves very professionally and met the core standards of Fear Free beautifully. My Luna was so comfortable and relaxed during her visit and was able to get her vaccines done without the stress and fear that normally comes with having her vaccines done at her old vet. My favorite part of today’s interaction was the way they allow each client into the office. You simply wait in your car and text on arrival, a technician will escort you to an exam room so theres no sitting and waiting in the wait area with a bunch of overly anxious pets barking or meowing and you are seen and taken care of immediately. Dr. Gerish took the time to listen to Luna’s needs and we sat on the floor throughout the duration of her visit which made Luna a lot more comfortable than being put on the exam table. Luna’s favorite part was the unlimited amount cheese whiz and peanut butter given throughout! I would also like to add that I found their prices to be very affordable compared to my old vet, which I love! We are very happy with our switch and will be bringing our other 3 pets here! Thank you again ladies for such a pleasant experience.

It took me a few days to think about posting this but after some serious thought, I decided it’s worth sharing. I moved here a year ago and started care for my dog at this clinic. Many pet owners, like me, view their pets as part of their family, like children almost. My dog recently was very ill … in fact, I had two visits within 48 hours and $1,200 later with very a general diagnosis about what was wrong. Despite promises of following up to see if my dog was better, not one phone call. The reason? They didn’t know and would have to “investigate.” I conducted my own research to see how I could help my dog recover with no help from them. How much faith do you think I have in this clinic now to treat my dog? Very disappointed… will need to look for a new vet. Deborah Bowie

The staff at Shaffer Animal Hospital were the best. The way it was so easy to make an appointment and the way they were able to take care of what I needed for Tux. They are the best.
