The Shire Veterinary Services – Vets in Ulceby
Clinic Overview
The Shire Veterinary Services is a small, independent, family-owned practice that treats cats and dogs. The website mentions in-house operations, while out-of-hours calls are diverted to Rase Veterinary Centre for treatment, hospitalisation, investigations, or operations. Recent reviews focus heavily on end-of-life support (including home visits, talking families through the process, and returning ashes with keepsakes), plus practical problem-solving during procedures (one owner says a chronic paw issue was identified while their dog was under anaesthetic for a dental).
Services
- •Veterinary care for cats and dogs only.
- •In-house operations (website states this, without listing specific procedures).
- •Dental work under anaesthetic (review mentions “having a Dental”).
- •Wound/infection treatment (review describes treatment of a necrotic paw infection).
- •Euthanasia/end-of-life care, including home visits (multiple reviews describe pets being helped to “sleep peacefully” at home, with the team explaining each step).

We would just need to thank Shire Vets, for the care and professionalism whilst dealing with Lacie our pooch. Sadly she had to leave us and was helped along by Michel. (sorry if I spealt it incorrectly). The care and emotion that you purvee is a great relief at such a sad time. Thank you so much for letting her sleep peacefully. x

My dog Benji developed a necrotic infection on his front left paw. Mihai's care for the infected wound saved his life. Benji's front right paw had been lame for years and the vets could never see what was wrong. Whilst under anaesthetic having a Dental, Mihai and Serena found moss and fur really deep amongst his paw pads. After all his pain Benji is like a puppy again. Happy and bouncy. And he is seven years old. He can walk without pain.

We had to have our beautiful Luna put to sleep just over 3 weeks ago.Shire vets were recommended to us as we couldn't get our usual vet out for few days.We made an appointment for Shires to come to us but then rang to desperately ask if they could come sooner as Luna deteriorated quickly.The team were fantastic.They rearranged appointments and came out as soon as possible.As a family we were there surrounding Luna with the love she deserved whilst the team( sorry Ive forgotten your names)came in and talked us through everything they needed to do to give her the beautiful dignified final last moments with us.They we're amazing.Lunas ashes we're returned in a beautiful box along with prints of her nose and paws.The lady even offered to sit with my mum as she was alone when they returned them and my mum was really upset.We really cannot recommend them enough. Thankyou team Shires ❤️🐾x

Your care, kindness and professionalism on what was an extremely difficult day is so much appreciated. Rocky was able to spend his last moments in what had become his favourite spot in recent days with so much love being shown to him, and he did appreciate it, giving you his last wag. I now wish I had used your services for the everyday care all pets require. It would have saved taking Rocky to our veterinary surgery which was always stressful for him. The services you provide are amazing and I will recommend you whenever I can. Thank you all for everything. I'm attaching a happy photo of Rocky in the bluebells, as he was reunited with us in the bluebells.
