Whats with all the fleas everywhere? I know its an animal hospital and well animals get fleas, but I have never walked into a vet before and seen 5 fleas come from under then bench I was sitting on. They really made me feel like I had a bad dog and he would attack people. My dog was injured and the vet poked at his injury - my dog growled and snapped as he was in pain. The vet over reacted and tried to convince me that our dog we have had since he was a puppy (now 4) would soon turn on my kids. When in fact my dog does nothing by love and protect my kids. Was there for maybe 15 minutes and was charged $80 for him to tell me the dog is fine.

I have to say this was one of the WORST experiences I have ever had with any business. We have two dogs and one cat, we have been here for two years and we decided to go with Shamrock vet because it was close to our house, well that was a horrible mistake!!!!!!!!!!!! Every SINGLE time we go in there they stick us with a HUGE bill over 200+ each time even with our cat, and they are always searching to diagnose our animals…. Oh well the ear is a little red, nothing serious but here is $30+ medicine you NEED! Oh and a $100+ sitting fee on top of that! Wanting to give our cats and dogs vaccinations and tests that don’t even apply to them, we find out later from other professionals it was unnecessary. To make matters worse the front staff are the RUDEST people, when we complained about the expensive visit 235.47$ for two kennel cough vac…. the blond receptionist reply…. well… go find another vet…. And they basically did not care and there was nothing they would do to help us `YES WHAT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE SHAMROCK! I am so utterly disappointed, words cannot express. With them and we are pissed at all the money we have thrown away! All I can say is SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! DON’T GO TO SHAMROCK VET IN COMOX! There are many many other great vets in the valley with way better front desk staff.
