Meet our Partner, Dan Shaw
After graduating from Cambridge University in 2008 I moved to Thanet to begin my career. I’ve lived locally ever since, leading a 24 Hour veterinary hospital in Canterbury for most of the past decade. I’m now excited to become co-owner of these two long-standing Medivet clinics near my family home. I’ve been recognised as an Advanced Practitioner in Diagnostic Imaging for over seven years and I believe that careful consideration of a pet’s needs, and an accurate diagnosis, are fundamental to providing good care. I live in Minnis Bay with my wife and children, enjoying regular trips to the beach and looking after our cats and guinea pig.

Minster vets has been extremely kind and patient whilst treating my dog. Vlad the vet really takes the time to explain all the symptoms and the implications of my dog's illness. First class service and they help you with your insurance claims.

I booked my daughter’s rabbit in with your veterinary nurse. It turned out that there was actually nothing wrong but I was very grateful for her help and sage advice- even though my mistake made us both laugh a lot. She was very kind indeed. Thank you.

I felt I was prescribed unnecessary medication without being told the cost or options. I cannot get pills down my dogs throat and asked vet to help me. He wouldn’t do it and still prescribed worm pill. He gave me steroid cream but my dogs bottom wasn’t red inflamed or sore so I didn’t use it. I couldn’t get the worming tablet down her so that ended up in the bin too. I felt they tried to make as much money from my visit as possible.

My dog has just been spayed and was looked after very well. It's not even been a week and her scar is almost non-existent. Obviously very skilled at doing this operation. I feel comfortable leaving her in their hands.
