Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets from common diseases. We offer core and non-core vaccines for puppies, kittens, and adult pets, following schedules approved by veterinary health organizations to ensure optimal immunity.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and tartar control. Using ultrasonic scaling and polishing, we maintain oral health to prevent systemic issues affecting vital organs in cats and dogs.

They were timely, effective and friendly. They gave my furies their rabies vaccines and we were out of there quickly.

Great vet services. Cared for all of our animals over past 12 years. Was very humble and kind when we had our Chihuahua pass away. Very thankful for this vet.

Quality, caring, and knowledgeable people. They saved my cat, Daisy's life around 15 years ago. Daisy is still here to this day, thanks to these people! I've been going to Shenandoah Veterinary Hosipital ever since! My go-to vet.

Service was adequate prior to Pandemic, and we certainly understand that all service provider are stressed. However, we had an issue with our pet and asked to be squeezed' into the schedule. The front desk clerk is a firewall for any contact with the office administration, refused to forward my call to anyone with authority, so this directive obviously came from the the Gilpin Family. Time to find a new vet. Update: spoke to a friend who had his pet appointment cancelled yesterday, office admin told him the whole office has Covid and all appts were postponed until March, Office staff told me that they would fit us in if the had a cancellation. So they were not transparent with the facts and instead would have kept us hanging on hoping to get an appointment when all they had to say was that the office was closed due to Pandemic.
