Very sweet workers, my cat was very calm for them. Did have bloodwork done for my kitten and they did give her back, leg still bleeding a lot. That's the only downside, otherwise very awesome!

Shamrock Vet is no longer owned by Dr. Joan. It is now part of the VCA animal hospital group. Primarily interested in making money. My cat has a urinary tract obstruction. It’s snowing today. They can’t care for him here so they are sending him to Nanaimo. Had to argue with the vet to get her to relieve the pressure in my cats bladder!!! More worried about if I can pay the bill, which I can. Imagine leaving an animal to suffer like that while we drive to Nanaimo to another vet office. This is definitely NOT the same animal hospital that Dr. Joan ran. If you can, find another vet. 😡😡

Amazing staff, they really put the care of the animals first, but are also great at helping the people deal with the situation. I had to use them for an emergency and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, compassionate care for their animals.
The long version:
I don't live in the area, but was visiting a friend with my dog. I had to bring my dog in here when he ingested something that caused him to vomit and there was blood in the vomit.
Not knowing what he ingested, the staff took excellent care of him. The front of house staff got me in quickly as I had called ahead to let them know we were coming.
They induced more vomiting to ensure that if anything toxic was ingested, it was all out of his system, and observed him for a while afterward. The whole time they let me stay with him and talked to me about after care for him. They even have me a towel to take with me in case he had to vomit again in the car.
Their fees were very reasonable considering I'm not a client, came in without an appointment, and was really just a mess.
Luckily my dog was fine and the blood wasn't an issue. Just a scary situation that was handled beautifully by all the staff I interacted with at the clinic.
