Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

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. One negative review raises a specific concern about an emergency euthanasia visit, where a pain-relief injection left the cat unresponsive before the owners could say goodbye.

Services

  • Routine check-ups and preventative care (website)
  • Advanced diagnostics (website)
  • Complex surgeries (website); examples mentioned by owners include
  • Spaying for two cats (review)
  • Stitches following a deep paw cut, after an emergency appointment (review)
  • Emergency veterinary services / urgent care is referenced in reviews (e.g., emergency appointment for an injured dog; emergency visit for a cat who suddenly lost use of back legs)
  • 24-hour inpatient support (website)
  • Species listed on the website: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, tortoises, lizards
  • Listed as a veterinary nurse training facility (clinic data)

People

  • “Olly” (vet; role inferred from review context): mentioned by a first-time visitor as not rushing the appointment, being kind, and helping their cat feel unusually relaxed during the consult.
  • Team-wide feedback across multiple reviews: staff are described as helpful and professional, including explaining what to expect around procedures like spaying and handling emergency treatment steps (medication, stitches).

Reviews

4.8 stars from 361 reviews. “”

  • Long-term clients describe consistently good experiences over years, including with older pets.
  • Emergency/urgent problems are a recurring theme: one dog was seen quickly and later had stitches, with recovery noted as going well within a week.
  • Clear explanations are mentioned around planned surgery (cat spays), helping owners know what to expect.
  • One review describes a difficult experience during an emergency euthanasia: the owner felt a pain-relief injection left their cat unresponsive and reduced their chance to say goodbye, and they also voiced concern (as suspicion rather than certainty) about the recommendation’s motivation.
  • Pricing is mentioned only generally in one review (“prices are very fair”), without specific fees.
