Thank you, thank you, thank you! We had what we thought was an emergency with our 9 yo Boxer. Not eating, stomach gurgling, and some other gross things. We previously had a Boxer that had some of these symptoms, and it turned out to be cancer, so we were freaking out. Turns out it wasnt as serious as we thought. A few days earlier, we called just about every Vet in the San Gabriel valley, and none of them could see us. The soonest any of them could see us was 7-8 hrs. We would have to wait there in line, and they couldnt even guarantee that we would be seen. Most of them told us flat out

Finally! After 3 years of trying to find a vet office that actually cares about our dogs we finally found this amazing place. We have had terrible experiences in the past with service, up charges, lack of communication, and general lack of compassion from 3 previous vet offices. West Main Animal Hospital goes above and beyond to make sure we are informed and comfortable with all procedures and info as treatment occurs. Costs of procedures are explained beforehand and they are even accommodating to payment plans for high cost procedures. During this difficult time, they are able to make time to

We have been taking our family pets and rescue dogs to West Main for over 15 years. The entire staff is like our family. They respond to all of our concerns with compassion. We are extra grateful that they have been able to serve the community and us even during COVID. In addition, we have used Cindy Wood several times for consultations, and WOW, she is the REAL DEAL.

Been a customer for over 30 years..... Pre Pandemic, appointments were timely, (give or take 15 minutes) Now, Post-Pandrmic the wait time is getting longer, 40 minutes to one hour and that it with a scheduled appointment of six weeks. What is not acceptable, we are in our our cars waiting to be seen. I understand why, but they have no regard to the heat in the cars and pets getting anxious in their carriers. They should scheduled 2 pets and hour to keep a timely scheduled.

I took my cat there cause of a couple of recommendations. They were very caring to my cat. They took the pandemic guidelines seriously. Dr. An was the Vet that helped. I recommend him to care for your pet.

West Main Animal Clinic is the best animal hospital around. The doctors and the staff are the best and friendly personnel around
They have great customer service. I've been taking my puppies and dogs their for 20 years and I've never had any problems nor complaints from them. I reccomand anyone with their new puppy. This place is the best.
