We have been going to this practice for years. They are friendly, helpful and nothing is too much bother for them.

Really friendly and helpful people. I can always get an appointment when I need one. They send helpful reminders about regular medication too.

Helen Roberts

Winnie has her anal glands emptied every 6 weeks with Becky - even though she hates having them done she is always pleased to see Becky. Becky is always smiley, efficient & great at her job. Thank you ❤️

I took Jerry for his 6 month check up. Not only did they manage to fit him in that afternoon but the vet nurse we saw was great. She was very friendly and informative and she obviously loved animals. Westwood vets have always been brilliant. I would highly recommend them.

Avoid at all costs! My Daxie was having difficulty walking suggested it was a spinal condition, after multiple visits and continuous charges for prescriptions I was around £1000 down and still no answers. I suggested it could be Lyme disease early on after my own research as she had been bitten by a tic a month prior, they basically said not a chance (they also said it was normal for her temp to be running high, the specialist I saw after them looked at me funny when I told them this) its now been tested and diagnosed 4 months down the line with her in crippling pain. After getting no where I went to another vets, they did more in 1 visit than these did in 4 and charged less. Shouldn’t be allowed to happen, they have a prescription culture and have no drive to solve a problem, but instead upselling it and keep medicating to increase sales. I was told at one point we might just have to ‘deal with it’ using pain meds not even knowing what it was!

Saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Lola, was one of the hardest moments for our family. The entire team showed such kindness, understanding, and genuine compassion during this incredibly painful time. They treated Lola with dignity and gave us the space and support we needed to say our goodbyes. Although this was an awful process to go through, the staff made it as gentle and comforting as it possibly could be. We are truly grateful for their empathy and care Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

Hazel and the rest of the reception staff as well as the vets are always friendly as well as professional. They always look after our cats with care and affection. I feel that the nurse yesterday went above and beyond during the consultation. She thoroughly checked the cats over, allowed my son to listen to their heartbeats and even used the clippers to remove some clumps from Tikka’s fur. She was so polite and professional. We were also recommended powder for suspected in Arthritis which I’ve now ordered for Tikka. We can’t thank her enough 😊

Our 3rd visit here. Staff are friendly and professional. I feel happy with the service here. No issues and it seems easy enough to get appointments.

Chris

Amazing staff! Very polite, friendly, and professional. There are vets much closer to us, but it’s worth travelling to Westoods for the service they provide.
