I originally went there to have my dog neutered but was told he had to have an exam first . So sadly I missed my appointments .Finally on the fourth attempt I was an hour late and a very nice woman vet saw me . As we were done she said the estimate for the surgery would be emailed to me . I left the appointment and was sitting back in my car and there was this voicemail from Kristen who told me they didn't want me as a customer. Prior to that a paid $90 for a missed appointment my punishment. I messaged this lady back and said I just finished seeing the vet and she told me to wait for an email for the surgery. I tried explaining to her why I was late mainly stemming from a brain tumor which totally turned my world upside down so she I guess felt bad but them she had another opportunity. I eventually got the estimate for his surgery of $1300 maybe 1400 . I couldn't believe it most neutering I knew went from about $500 to 800 . So I think Kristin took that as an opportunity to get rid of me !! Oh well . They need a lot of help in compassionate understanding , pricing and animal care .

Everyone is friendly, the vets and the techs are knowledgable, kind and helpful. Today, Friday before the Labor Day weekend, we had a small emergency and our dog was seen immediately, Even though they were busy and it was getting toward closing, as soon as we walked in Max was seen, thoroughly evaluated, and we left with an eyedrop prescription. We are so fortunate to have access to the care at Shawme, particularly with an older dog that needs occasional attention. Thank you!

I have a six year old male papillon who was a very energetic and healthy dog before a Lyme-related…read morevaccine was administered by a veterinarian at Shawme Animal Hospital in Sandwich. My dog was given the injection into his right shoulder by a Dr. "Abby". I asked Dr. "Abby" when another booster would be needed and she stated that the vaccine was good for one year. I asked her if I could read the literature included in the used boxed vaccine container. The literature stated that boosters are recommended every eight months. I brought this up to her and she was totally unaware of this important fact. She asked another coworker and that person stated that the booster is done every eight months. This is not the bad part. Since that injection four months ago, my dog has been made lame. His right front paw is no longer used. I brought him back after two weeks and Dr. "Abby" stated that his lameness was not related to the injection. I beg to differ. I am not a veterinarian or any type of medical professional, but a perfectly healthy dog is transformed into a three-legged lame dog? Everyone makes mistakes, but owning up to one's own mistake and adequately dealing with a problem is not what occurred here. This is unprofessional in every way, so I may only hope that my dog is eventually healed, and he can be the happy dog he was before this fiasco.

I went there on Labor Day around 6pm with an emergency for my LuLu (mini dachshund) who got bit by…read moreanother dog. When we got there, they took Lulu right away and then within 15 minutes we saw the vet. They had to keep her there for a few hours in order to fit her in their rotation of patients and they sent us home and they said that they will call us when she is ready. They called at 10:30 pm and we went to pick her up. Excellent service. The removal of stitches was a bit of a hassle. I call a few days later to set an appointment to remove the stitches and they said that I don't need an appointment, that I should just call when I am ready to come down with LuLu and they will let me know what time would be good. When I called on the 12th day, the phones were transferred to Bourne. They told me that the Dennis location is closed and only open on the weekends??? Why didn't they tell me that when I called to set an appointment. Even thou the stitches removal was included in the price I paid $1600, I ended up call my Vet Tech, that comes to my house to do my dogs nails, came over the next morning and removed them for me. Her name is Lianna Heard, Cape Cod Veterinary Technician Services. She is extremely careful and great with all three of my dogs. I highly recommend her for any home services for your pets.

We had a negative experience with Cape Cod Vet Specialists. We brought our dog in for sudden facial…read moreswelling. As soon as we walked in the receptionist looked at him and said "oh looks like it may be an abscess" which is what we were thinking too. Granted he has some vet anxieties which we told them about, Dr. Lee did not examine our dog at all and did not even weigh him. He poked the swollen part of his face with a pen like object and said since it's hard, it's a tumor. He wrote down three possible tumors on a piece of paper, said "I'm sorry to tell you this" several times, and said an X-ray would be 2k and surgery would be 10k, but would be risky due to placement and his age. We left with antibiotics and pain meds. We took our dog to Angell Memorial in Boston the next morning. After extensive testing and examinations, they confirmed it was an ABSCESS, not a tumor and drained it, and also drained all the fluid from his neck. They also nicely informed us the antibiotic Dr. Lee prescribed was nowhere near enough for my dog's weight. Makes sense since they didn't even weigh him. See below post from another lady who was also told her dog had CANCER when it was just an asbcess. It's awful to tell patients their dog has cancer, without any extensive testing, and to make them worry all night long that their dog is going to die. I'll never bring my animals back to this location. I'd also like to add the sheet of paper he gave us where he listed the three cancers it probably was.
