Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dr. Shaffer has been our kitties vet for several years. She is undeniably passionate about her call in treating animals/our babies! Over the years Dr. Shaffer has lovingly taken very serious care of our kitties in times of illness, the passing of one of our babies (kitty), and just regular health care in general. She is so kind and patient while answering any and all questions you may have about your pet's care. Her staff is incredible! No matter how busy they are...they make you feel as if your fur baby/animal's needs are extremely important to them! Over the years, even while on medical leave and struggling financially, there wasn't a time our kitties health needs weren't met by Dr. Shaffer! She offers affordable care that is absolutely PRICELESS!!! I am an Army Veteran and I've said many times...I wish Dr. Shaffer was my Veteran doctor (PCP and all specialties!:)...because the care she provides to our kitties has been hands down more diligent and superior than even my own medical care that I receive as a human!!! Thank you Dr. Shaffer and to all your veterinary staff! We don't know what we would've done without yall's care, all these years, for our sweet kitties!!!!

Dr. Shaffer and her team were beyond amazing. I took my sweet 15 year old dog there and it was our first time ever visiting. You would have thought I knew them my dog’s whole life. They treated her with the same love and care that me and my family do and I couldn’t be more thankful. Dr. Shaffer understood that I couldn’t do all of the procedures at once, for financial reasons, and she didn’t make me feel guilty or judged. She was beyond understanding which is way more than I can say about any vet I have ever met. My pup seems to be feeling much better and I look forward to her follow up in two weeks. She also had all the medication in house and the prices were very affordable. Thank you so much, Dr. Shaffer.

My last vet was pretty good and I was mostly satisfied, but I wanted to find a place that was more affordable, but that maintained the level of care to which I and my pets are accustomed. I have found my new vet. Shaffer Veterinary Services has blown my last (really great) vet out of the water. They work to get you in soon if your pet needs it, they are gentle with your pets as they escort them into and out of the building, and they are SO much more affordable. One of the services I got pretty regularly at my last vet is HALF price--that's a fifty dollars savings for something I get done 4 times a year (at least). Nail trimmings are 3.50 less expensive (and they do a better job!). For four dogs, those nickels and dimes add up. More importantly, though, is the treatment I have received by the staff and Dr. Shaffer. Alexus, Brooke, and Diana were so great with my critters, and Dr. Shaffer is so personable and thorough. The doctor (and her techs) explain everything thoroughly and patiently. They are compassionate, hard working, and my pets have no complaints. If you are considering switching vets, please consider Dr. Shaffer and her team. The level of care (and affordability) I am receiving cannot be beaten. I wish I had switched sooner.

Dr. Shaffer has taken the absolute BEST care of our dogs (4). Recently we had one dog develop a mass on his underbelly. Dr. Shaffer got him in the next day, diagnosed the issue without extensive testing, prescribed meds and just a week later the mass is almost non-existent! You will not find a better Vet, one who’s loving, knowledgeable, and conscientious of your budget. I won’t take my pets anywhere else!

Dr. Shaffer is a one-of-a-kind outstanding doctor! She has a very caring manner and will spend the time talking to me to explain treatment for my pet and answer any of my questions. Her rates are very affordable, which really helps! Her staff are always pleasant and friendly too!
