Reviews
I can't even tell you how many times we've been helped, in acute life-threatening emergencies (serious nail treads and other situations) as well as in predictable, routine situations. Thank you for that! Even though we're now too far away for emergency services and only scheduled treatments are possible, we're incredibly grateful for so much good advice. This was also the case recently. When something is very important/serious, we rely on Dr. Dirk Schellhoff's opinion; distance is secondary.
We have been regular clients of this practice for years with numerous horses and have always been completely satisfied! Absolute reliability, a very high level of expertise, and genuine care are what characterize the team. We can wholeheartedly recommend Dirk Schellhoff and his team without reservation! Especially in emergencies, you can always rely on their competent help. No question is too much trouble, and every step of the treatment is explained clearly and thoroughly... A definite 10 out of 5 stars!
A very nice vet! But I almost fainted when I saw the bill for two sedations for transport. €350! Two weeks earlier, I paid €105 for the same service at another practice. The charges included travel expenses of over €50 from Marl to Recklinghausen, a house call fee, a general examination, a specialized examination (even though they only listened to the heart and lungs), consultation, time spent, supplies, and sedation. In my opinion, completely exorbitant...
I've been having my pet's stool samples tested here for selective deworming for several years now. The practice team is very friendly and always helpful with any questions. The results of the stool tests are always available very quickly.
By our side for years and irreplaceable for me. Both veterinarians and the team in the practice are always competent, empathetic and take the time it takes. For routine things and especially in emergencies, I know that I can rely 100% on the vet and that animals and people will be cared for with respect and understanding.
