Shively Animal Clinic & Hospital

"As far as I am aware, there are only 2 places that look after birds in Louisville, this is one of them. I went in for my two budgies' first check up (I was worried over their beaks being kinda dry as well). They are my first birds, so I am super nervous about taking care of them. The staff (nurses?) were super helpful and the doctor was very informative. She gave me some well needed bird tips! My only complaint is that they do not do appointments. I've no idea why, but the wait was about one hour even with them being busy."

"I have been going to Shively Animal Clinic for at least 18 years. Dr Mary Jane, Dr Joyce, and all the doctors there have always been wonderful, helpful and accommodating. I've had 2 dogs pass away while with them and they showed me love, compassion and comfort. The office even sent me a Sympathy Card on the loss of my most recent baby, Lexie in October 2023. I'm known as the lady who takes in the difficult dogs and I have 2 right now. The staff keep me upbeat and laughing every time I'm there. The Front Office Staff are kind, efficient, very communicative and always willing to help out in finding a solution. Although the wait for care may be long, and I've waited as long as 6-8 hours, I don't mind because they always make it up with outstanding service. If you can see past the wait time, Shively Animal Clinic is the best place in Louisville to take your animals."

"My cat was hit by a car he was truly lucky he only had his hip out of place and some road rash. I took him on Christmas Eve they were busy as usual but because of timing we didn't have to leave and come back the wait was not bad and he had to stay overnight which I was a mess but the Dr was great they kept me informed the whole time and after he's been home they have called and checked on him. I love the staff and Drs. My mother and I both take our dogs and my cat there I will go to them before anyone else."

"I have been going to shively for 20 years. 5 years when I had a rabbit and a guinea pig and for the past 15 years with my dog SNOOP. Yesterday I had to put him down and there was a sweet lady named Ashley that helped us with another nurse. I always receive checkup calls the next day,every time my pets were seen in their office & recommend them for their rates as well. Thank you and God Bless ALL of You All."

"I took my dog there for a ear infection . He is a big strong German shepherd. They were good about communicating how the procedure would be handle on my baby and very nice and friendly. My 1st time there thank all the staff . I appreciate love and the staff kindness given to my dog and me"
