We maintain communication with your primary veterinarian for ongoing management while providing detailed discharge instructions, medication protocols, and scheduled recheck appointments as needed.

I had to take my dog Moose here because she had some blood in her vomit. From the moment I arrived the staff was very friendly and professional. Although I was there for several hours, and there seemed to be delays (emergency situations always come first), the process was smooth and I was very satisfied my experience. Dr Harris' diagnosis was spot on (parasites, confirmed by a fecal test for Moose at my vet's clinic in Star), and she was very polite and patient as we spoke about Moose, and my past experiences with my pets and visiting emergency vet hospitals.

I also watched the staffs interaction with other sick pets and their parents: very caring, very professional, and all were made to feel that their pets welfare and comfort was the hospital's priority. I hope I don't have a reason to return anytime soon with one of my dogs. However, my experience here comforted me in a way that will definitely have a calming effect should I have to return in the future with another doggie emergency. Cheers!

I cannot say enough about the level of care we received at West Vet. Our 15 month old lab was very sick and was treated by the staff with the absolute upmost care. His case was slightly unique in that no one knew exactly what was going on with him or what was causing his seizures and they walked me through each of their steps and findings and what to expect with the testing he would go through. They never rushed me off the phone, I was always able to get my questions answered and they kept me up to date continually for the 4 days he was hospitalized. I truly believe he would have died had we not taken him here for care. I cannot recommend this clinic enough and will recommend them to anyone who may need a specialty clinic to take their pets to.

I was happily surprised with our experience here! My 7 month old puppy is a sock vacuum. He has had an intestinal blockage in the past, and we took him to be treated at All Valley in that case. They were fine. Today, I had a hunch he had another blockage. I called our normal vet and they recommended West Vet so we gave them a shot, and I'm glad we did! I called on the way there and they got me all signed in over the phone so they could take him straight back when I arrived.

They followed a very similar treatment plan to what All Valley did, except it was HALF the cost and a lot more efficient. They called to update me about every 45 minutes or so, and everyone I spoke to was great and I could tell they genuinely cared for my pup. Crossing my fingers we won't be needing emergency care again, but if we do, this is definitely where we're going. Thank you for taking care of Murph!

Such a positive experience here! I mean, it's never fun to have to run to an emergency vet, but this was such a quick and painless visit with super nice staff (on the phone and the tech who came out to get our dog) that I'm shocked it was so nice and fast. Dog was injured at the dog park in Caldwell at 2pm, local vet recommended WestVet. We had an appointment for something in Caldwell at 3:30 and knew it would be tight.

We got to WestVet, parked and called the number advertised. The person answering was nice and seemed concerned, took our information and said they'd be out in 5-10 minutes to get our dog. (I know curbside is zero fun but it is what it is right now.) Tech was out in 5 minutes, looked at her paw and said it wouldn't take long at all. Sure enough, he was back out with her in less than 15 minutes. He said she'd knocked her own claw off once inside getting on the table (she'd injured her dew claw), so they cleaned her up, bandaged the lower leg, gave her an e-collar and that was it. We didn't even get charged! (Also made it back to Caldwell by 3:45 for our appointment!)

Let me save you 8 hours and $500. Go sit in your car. Have somebody walk up and say we can't find anything wrong with your dog so maybe go see your normal vet Monday. Then mail yourself $500. It's happened all 3 times I've gone or somebody I know and the "normal vet" has found a serious problem all three times. You are a scam west vet

I took my Caprica to this facility for surgery, as a referral from my vet here in Utah. They are professional, thorough, but above all compassionate. I got regular updates and photos about my fur baby and it truly put me at ease to know that they treated her as I would. Five stars for the entire staff!
