Dr Shaun & the team at Encounter Bay Veterinary Clinic were amazing in diagnosing & subsequently removing an embedded grass seed from our Sealyham Terrier's paw. All facilitated flawlessly & efficiently especially considering we were new customers (in town on holiday). Many thanks for your excellent customer service & kindness.

We were in an unfortunate position and had to have a beloved dog put to sleep on very short notice late in the afternoon. Lucky for us Shaun was working. The staff were considerate and compassionate. Shaun was exceptional in dealing with the loss of a loved one. We have been dealing with the Encounter Bay Vet service for years and have always found them helpful, considerate and helpful.

Fantastic vet clinic. Friendly, helpful vet nurses and very caring vets. They were so good with my 17 year old girl who had various lumps removed today. She’s already up and about! Thank you so much, you all went above and beyond.
