Taylor & Marshall review

Ranked 6 of 9 in Emergency vets in Telford

Best for: long-standing Shifnal practice with 24-hour emergency line

Trading as CONNAUGHT HOUSE VETERINARY GROUP LIMITED · 45 High Street, Shifnal, Shropshire, TF11 8BL · Service area: Shifnal

Taylor & Marshall in short

Taylor & Marshall is the long-standing Shifnal practice, now booking through Connaught House Vets at the same High Street address, and this review values that continuity. The page traces the business back decades, emergency cover runs through a round-the-clock line, and a recent guide price list puts common fees on the record. Consulting times and parking sit on the same page.

Customers rate Taylor & Marshall well, with 4.6 on Google from 175 reviews, the only review source on record. Small Animal General Practice accreditation sits on the register entry, matched on the practice page. Against it, the old web address now serves unrelated content and no practice liability cover is published, which this review counts as gaps in paperwork rather than care.

The register accreditation and 24-hour line stand out for a small-town practice [2] [4]. Against it, the rebrand means you book through Connaught branding, and the Google score is 4.6 out of 5 from 175 reviews [7].
