About Us:
At Shelfield we take pride in delivering a high standard of veterinary care with a strong emphasis on patient well-being. Our team is comprised of skilled professionals who are dedicated to maintaining a high standard of care. We are a cat-friendly and dog-friendly practice, with separate dog and cat waiting areas.
By joining us you will have the opportunity to use your nursing skills to their full potential. We have a varied case load including dermatology, orthopaedics, and feline medicine. Utilize our state-of-the-art in-house lab, AI microscope system for cytology work, in-house blood machine, and blood gas analysis. You will also have the opportunity to perform schedule 3 work, assist with diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound and radiography.
