I've taken my dogs to Shivley for at least 10 years, and yes the waits are long, yet I drive 36 miles one way, and wait 3 or more hours to see Dr Mary Jane, Why?
Lily Ann, had Cancer and after the operation, the life expectancy was 6 months. with the care of the Doctors and the Staff at Shivley, My Lily lived another 3 years and For that three years I have I am Eternally Gratefully.

I worked for shively animal clinic for 3 and a half yrs and there is alot of good drs at this place but a few of the fuchs are complete jerks. dr mary jane is the main one she dont care about any one or whats going on in their lives. when i had my daughter i told her i was unable to continue to work on second shift because i had no one to watch her until 2 or 3 in the morning and she told me if i wasnt able to do this then i needed to go down to 1 day a week!! a few weeks later she finally put me on first shift. another bad thing about her is one day she went off on me out in the front hall in front of all kinds of clients about how lazy i was!! one day i had to call in because my daughter was sick and the next day when i returned to work she had a talk with me in front of other employees about why i had called in and when i informed her that my daughter was sick she asked why couldnt i just have had someone else watch her? i told her first off im not dumping my sick daughter on someone else and second off when babys are sick they only want their mother!! she will never understand what its like to be a mom cause she is to self centered and thinks babys are parasites!! she said they suck the life out of her employees!! on a nother occassion she told me if i couldnt keep up with my dr then maybe i needed to go to a gym and get into shape and this was after i had my daughter!! this is a great place to take your animals and they are very caring drs but behind the sceans its very ugly and most of the fuchs treat the other drs and their employees badly!!

Got to the clinic around 2:30 for my dog a rabies shot they said it would be about an hour since it is only for that kind of shot....so I left for about 40 min came back in and ask had they called my name they said no there is still 4 ahead of you so I waited another hour and ask again have they called for me they said no still 3 ahead of you then I ask if they could give me an estimated time and the lady turned her back to me and said in a very very smart butt tone NO I CANNNN NOOTTT!!!!!!!!!!....... I finally left around 5:30...this is insane!!!!!! 3 hours later and still 3 ahead of me this is nuts.....unless you have time on your hands to just sit in a waiting room for hours and hours I WOULD NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!! first off they lied to me saying it would only be an hour second my time is very valuable to me......they were RUDE very RUDE!!!!!!
I left from there and went to Feeders Supply and was in and out within an hour.......all that wasted time!!!!!!!!!

On Oct 23,2009 I called shively animal clinic to pick up some flea medicene for our 2 ferrets, our little kitten slyvester and our large dog. The guy on the phone took my order and gave me a price,i asked this guy if he could get it ready for me and I'd be there in a few mintues. he agreed and asked me what my name was and asked me again what excatly i needed once again, I told him once again " flea medicene for 2, 3 pound ferrets, a 4 pound kitten and a 80 to 100 pound dog, I gave him my name Donna Tackett because I hadn't changed my name yet with them since I just had gotten married. before we hung up we went thru the order once again....that makes a total on 3 times. I get to the vet and a girl checks me out, I tell her my name Donna Tackett, she gets my bag of items along with my chart. I pay for my items and before I leave I tell her I need to change my last name that I had just gotten married. On my ticket she scratches out my old last name Tackett and changes it to Theiler. I go home and seperate the small contanier of flea drops and apply them to the 2 ferrets and the kitten. within a couple of hours i notice that slyvster is acting wierd...he is shaking and walking funny..so i tell my husband to go get the drops outta the garbage to see if they may have been expired....as we looked we noticed it says advantix K9....it was for dogs only. i immediatly scoop up slyvester to take him to the vet and called them along the way, i tell the guy on the phone what happen and he informs me that advantix is very lethal to cats. We get there and a girl is asking the boy who took my order for the drops where the paper was that he wrote down my order was at, he was looking around everywhere for it and couldnt find it, i kinda got rude and said im not worried where the paper is, just take my kitten to get check out with the vet before he dies..the girl gets us in a room and the vet Dr Mary Jane Fuchs rushes in and start yelling at me that it wasnt for cats.....i tell her that the boy sold it to me...but she keeps saying" but it isnt for cats" they take my baby to the back and tells me they will call me when they know something. Around 10 p.m that night we get a phone call saying our 5 month old kitten didnt make it. I was too upset to even speak, my husband was just in shock...we didnt know what to think. The next morning I get up and it dawns on me to check on my ferrets and the drops i had givin them. sure enough the flea drops for the ferrets was also for a dog. Ferrets should recieve flea drops for a feline, not a K9. The ferrets are ok, but i call the vet and ask to speak the a dr because by now im furious over all this. Dr. Mary Jane gets ont the line and she starts off being rude and nasty and sayin "as i told you last night advantix is for dogs only" And how she questioned the young man that sold it to me and that he says i never told him it was for a kitten.And that this boy keeps a notepad of all medicne that he sells. And how my chart show I have a small rat terrier dog,that I just had spaid a year and a half ago.and that the boy was just going by my chart. I explained I had no such dog....and hadnt owned a dog since I was a child and that i am now 35 years old. she kept sticking by this story that i have this dog on my chart and that the name on the chart is a Chris Theiler. she was very rude and hung up. never apologized to us for our loss or even that they was somewhat at fault. The wierd thing is, is how could they have gotten my chart mixed up with this Chris Theiler when I hadnt even changed my last name with them to Theiler until after I bought the drops? I dont know what to do or if I can even do anything, I just want to make sure that this never happens to anyone's pet again. This place is too busy, they use paper insteed of computers to keep their patients records.They apparently dont train their staff on how important it is to sell the poper medicene to their patients

You can just pack your dog up and take them to the Vet without an appointment. The prices are so good it pays to travel to this Vet. The Office VIsit is only $15!!! You might have a long wait with lots of other pet owners. I love all the Vets there. The Fuchs are very nice people who care deeply about the pets in their community. I would recommend them to anyone.
