Shelby Street Animal Clinic

I came to the vet feeling nervous and unsure, but from the moment I arrived, Dr. Smith and Avery made me feel at ease. They were kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. You can truly tell they care about animals and their well-being. Excellent care and a great experience overall. Highly recommend.

I love care and attention my fur babies receive here! The staff is caring and empathetic. The vets are well educated and have lots of patience! They have transparent pricing and have not pressured me in a test or treatment. They just present the options and give me the facts.

We had a great experience. The vet was both knowledgeable and very considerate, especially when discussing my senior dog’s aging behaviors and medication options. They took the time to explain what was normal with aging, what to monitor, and how the meds could help. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which means a lot when you’re worried about changes in an older dog. I left feeling informed and reassured. I would definitely recommend them to anyone navigating senior pet care.

I couldn’t recommend the Shelby Street Animal Clinic ENOUGH!! My wife and I have taken all three of our girls there, both for sick visits and for general wellness. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. The front desk team is warm and helpful, the office itself is spotless, and you can tell everyone genuinely loves the animals they work with daily. Dr. Rivera is an absolute GEM of a vet. She’s knowledgable, patient, and incredibly compassionate. She took time each visit to get to know us, never rushed, and treated my girls like they were her own. It’s such a relief knowing that they are in such skilled and loving hands when they visit. Her smile is infectious and her confidence puts our anxious cat parent brains to rest. We couldn’t be more thankful for the quality of care she’s provided us, and for treating us like family! My cats are usually intensely dramatic about vet visits and hide for hours after coming home, but they laid right next to each other and relaxed in the sun after our visit yesterday. That says everything about how gentle and stress-free this place is. If you’re looking for a veterinary office that combines professionalism, kindness, and passion, this is your place!

I was very pleased with my first vet visit with a stray cat I am rehoming. Dr. Rivera was very patient and understanding and answered all my questions. She was very gentle with my cat who is not used to being handled. The veterinary assistant who helped us was also very kind. I would recommend Dr. Rivera and the Shelby Street Clinic without hesitation.

I am so happy with the service we received for Meatball. We have definitely found our favorite veterinarian! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, the environment was very clean and organized. Dr. Rivera was great, friendly and very knowledgeable. Took the time to listen and share valuable information regarding Meatball. Dr. Rivera also informed me of ways to maintain my doggo’s health without trying to sell me anything unnecessary resulting in a higher bill. We will definitely stick with Shelby Street Animal Clinic for all of our pets checkups!! You can definitely tell when someone is passionate in their field and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of animals not just the money as I’ve experienced at other places. Thank you Dr. Rivera and staff!!

We recently had two appointments at this clinic—one for our dog and one for our cat—and both visits went extremely well. We were new to the clinic, but they were able to get us in for our first appointment in less than a week, which we really appreciated. Every staff member we interacted with was easy to work with and showed excellent customer service skills. Dr. Rivera and the staff were wonderful with both of our pets and with us. They listened carefully to our concerns, answered our questions, and offered helpful advice. Overall, the entire experience was smooth, friendly, and professional. We’re very glad we chose this clinic and look forward to continuing our pets’ care here.
