Her practice, Visiting Vet Service, is a full service veterinary practice with hospital back up. Dr. Shapiro offers personal individualized care to dogs and cats in all stages of life.  Senior and disabled pets are catered to with customized long and short term hospice and end of life care, and in home euthanasia services.  

“Educating our customers on the needs of their aging pets will greatly increase the pet’s comfort and mobility as well as decrease injuries.” explained Shirleen Dubuque, owner of Village Critter Outfitter. “Dr. Shapiro brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach to caring for our furry friends.
