I cannot speak highly enough about this veterinary practice. I have 2 dogs, an older Border Collie and a young German Shepherd and each time we go into Eureka we are met with warm compassion and above all empathy.

When we first came her our Border Collie had been diagnosed with arthritis (by another vet) in her back legs. We came to see Mike Sheedy and asked him for his advice, he took our Karma, X-rayed her and told us that when we had taken her to the vet previously she had a broken leg and so the Sasha's blend that we were given did nothing to help her. Mike worked tirelessly and finally we found a solution to keep our energetic girl running around.

Another instance of this practices compassion and commitment to truly go above and behind for their furry companions was when Karma had eaten something she shouldn't have and had an intestinal blockage. We ran her straight to Mike knowing that he would do everything possible for Karma, and after 3 full days at the vets she came home healthy and happy. During this time however, I was away. Mike made the time to ring me at night to explain to me what had happened to my precious girl and where he was up to with diagnosing her and how he was going to help her. One of the days she was in, Mike had to leave for a pre-booked surgery but left Karma in the competent hands of Rob (whose last name I should have grabbed) to continue to X-ray her and make sure that the treatment had been effective. During this day, despite being away Mike rang back in to check on Karma and check on prognosis and how she generally was.

My animals mean the world to me, and I can tell that they do to the staff at Eureka as well. I would not trust just anyone with my furry babies and I cannot recommend Mike Sheedy highly enough.
