My 10 year old min pin was very ill. He was lethargic an had begun having convulsions.I called Dr. Shellnutt's emergency number and he answered right away. I was crying and explaining what was going on and even though he was not due to open for about an hour he met us at his clinic. He took our baby in and realized right away what was wrong. Pancreatitus. He began working on him and told us exactly what he was doing and what was going on. He was very kind and very honest and didn't give us any false hope. Later that evening he called with an update and called first thing in the morning also. I have no doubt that he saved our baby's life and we are forever grateful. His staff were all very kind and we are forver in his debt. The price was very reasonable, however we didn't care what it would have cost. Thank God for Dr. Ben Shellnutt..and his staff. He genuinely cares about animals.

We lost our beloved Crisco several months ago. We were treated with compassion and understanding. In the past when we lost a pet, we could not go back to the same vet office--I think partly due to our feeling they lacked compassion for our loss. Not so this time...Dr. Shelnutt really seemed to care, so we continue to take our other animals to him. I wish we had known him sooner. You'll like him.

i recently took my cat to family pet care for routine shots. while there a couple had lost their dog. dr ben shelnutt was so compasionate to this couple. the office had a solemn kind of sense there like everyone in the office was grieving over the loss of this pet. this was such a great feeling, not that the pets life had ended, but that the entire staff showed so much sympathy toward a pet that was not their own. this will keep me going to this office.i have never seen a vet or staff respond this way, as my husband is in the army and we have seen a lot of vets all over the country. i think that family pet care is the best
