A 6 hour wait for my dog to not even be seen. NO fluids or anything were given. I understand that other dogs have come in that have "more urgent needs," but my dog couldn't even keep water down for over 72 hours. So we waited for 6 hours with no fluids, no IV, but charged for a parvo test. Please, someone start another ER because one ER vet for a massive area is not only dangerous but allows for negligence. Do not go here. Spend your money and drive to Utah to be seen by people who actually care. I repeat, do not go here. Zero stars.

Vet doctor was very sincere and compassionate when he told me that my cat had a disease that was terminal. Dr. Sanford understood our grief and asked us what the next step will be to put her down. She was 7 months old and a beautiful Himalayan and had FIP.

Nobody wants to end up at a place like this with their pet especially late at night during a holiday weekend. I am very grateful to have a place like WestVet available 24/7 for unexpected emergencies. They allowed me to peacefully say goodbye to my furbaby with respect and dignity at 4am Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone from phone reception, techs and vets were very kind and understanding. I hope I don't have to return but I'm glad to know they're ready.

West Vet. Where to begin. So back when they first opened, they were incredible. Years have gone by and they are no owned by some big corporation or something and it shows. I took my last Yorkie here when his health issues first started. They give great service, but it is SO. EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They literally kick you when you're down. I know it's an emergency vet and they're always going to cost more, but WOW!
Taking Frankie there reminded me of something like taking a car to a mechanic who robs you blind. Makes up more problems than there are just to make money.

I am surprised there are people that give this place bad reviews! I just called here to talk through what was going on with my dog, and I had a very reassuring and kind conversation with a gentleman there. The big reason for 5 stars though, is that a couple years ago I had made an appointment for my elderly dog with advanced kidney disease to be put down at home, but he couldnt make it through the night. I knew it was time to say goodbye, and the only place that was open was West Vet. We were treated with empathy and kindness, from the moment we walked in, to the time I was sent his ashes and
