Shires Vets Small Animals Services

Shires Vets are proud to offer our extensive pet health care services with a team of experienced veterinary surgeons and nursing staff based at four main practices at Stone, Stafford, Eaton Park, Hanley and Eccleshall with a branch at Gnosall.

From routine health examinations to detailed surgical procedures, utilising and employing the latest research and developments, including use of laparoscopy (key hole surgery) for example. Our team are experienced in treating your dogs and cats, but also provide veterinary care for your rabbits, small furries, chickens and occasional exotic pet. Lucy, one of our ophthalmology certificate holders accepts internal and external referrals to our practice.

By working together the Pet Health for Life Plan for cats & dogs (and also for rabbits) enables our clients to spread the cost of veterinary care and save money whilst helping to ensure your pet receives the best care available.

Lesley Bazargan

"Thank you so much for the care of our St. Bernard - marley. Especially Ted who we can't thank enough."

Melissa Bovaird

"Our brave cat was operated on today. He had a huge stone in his (particularly small) bladder and was given an operation appointment immediately. We had a phone call during the op and another afterwards and were assured that his usual vet had also been in touch. They will see him on Saturday, just to make sure he's ok. What wonderful treatment! (And he's been like a new cat since he got home!)"

Liz Mills

"Just to say a HUGE thank you to you all for looking after Stella for me! She's had steamed cod loin and boiled rice for her tea and is currently snuggled up on the settee! It's fantastic to have her home again! xxxx"

Victoria Shingler

"Best Vets ever my German Shepherd wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Will, he did ligament ruptures on both of his back knees, he bounces round like Bambi again now. Couldn't live without my dog!. Worth every star, also how many Vets would take in little rescues like that puppy without wanting to know who's paying. Five stars is not enough!"

Clare Williams

"Today the difficult decision was made to put our loved horse Bella to sleep. Cathy, I can't thank you enough. You were so kind, loving, compassionate, caring and treated Bella with such dignity. Your care towards our other pony that was clearly distressed was amazing too! Thank you for everything. I am eternally grateful."

Laura Lapthorne

"Just switched to Shires, definitely not a decision I regret! My pony Timmy has just been diagnosed with laminitis, a very difficult time for us. Frankie came out to us on Monday, he was very VERY patient with both myself and Timmy, the reception staff are also very friendly and happy to help."
