Westover Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent, vet-owned small animal hospital providing care since 1896. Based on its own service list and recent owner accounts, it appears set up for both routine work and more involved cases: the website mentions advanced diagnostics, complex surgeries, and 24-hour inpatient support, and reviews reference cat spays and a dog paw injury that required stitches after an emergency appointment. Recent reviewers also mention consults that didn’t feel rushed (one first-time cat visit) and that the team “sorted out” treatment and dispensed medication.

From the latest reviews, owners most often mention being able to get seen at short notice, pets being put at ease in consults, and the team handling non‑standard cases (including wild animals brought in). One long-term client also notes prices “seem to have come down slightly” after an ownership change, while still warning that many treatments can be expensive.
