Clinic Overview

Animal Trust Vets CIC Shrewsbury is part of Animal Trust’s mission-led veterinary social enterprise (CIC), and the clinic is set up for round-the-clock urgent care alongside routine general practice. The website states consultations are free and pricing is transparent, including urgent/out-of-hours care with daytime pricing plus a stated supplement. Recent reviews repeatedly describe rapid triage for urgent cases, clear explanations of procedures and aftercare, and cost being a deciding factor (including comparisons to higher quotes elsewhere). Owners also mention thoughtful end-of-life support, including a dedicated, calm room for euthanasia appointments.
