Vca Westside Animal Hospital

I love this place! I was very tired and frustrated that I have to do this alone with two babies( a fussy 9 month baby and my dog). However, the staffs were so nice and friendly.Both the nurse and the vet tried very hard to explain everything for me since English is my second language. They are so patient with me! The vet is very knowledgable and took her time to explain everything.I am so glad I chose this place.And I will definitely recommend this place to other people! Read Less

There was almost no wait time before they got Gypsy into a room. The staff was so kind and caring. They took really good care of him. He gets grumpy sometimes but they were able to handle him well. This old cat still has alot of life in him thanks to Westside Veterinary! Read Less

If you want your pets to have the best care available this is the place. My dad use to bring his dogs here and his horse's were seen as well. Our vet then was Dr.Campbell. We lived down the street from were she kept her horses. I use to love to watch her ride. This practice has nothing but compassion. We see Dr.Cupples now and she is awesome.And the staff is the best around. Read Less

Took a puppy I found on the street to this vet yesterday and omg was the staff fabulous! I first tried to go to my current vet but they were booked and I'm so glad I came here because I am thinking of switching now. Everyone in the office is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. They fixed this little pup right up to be ready for a forever home. They have relationships with some awesome local rescues and can give you all the advice you need if you ever find yourself in the same spot I was. I am a very happy! Read Less

These guys have always been kind and we have never had a problem getting an appointment. They have been honest, and treated our cat with great care. They are really very reasonably priced, and have always been clear about the cost of everything. Check ups (after each appointment) were free! We are so glad to have found such great care for our kitties. Read Less

Today is our first visit to the clinic since moved to Pearland area. The staff and doctor are so friendly and patient. They answered my questions thoroughly and had a plan for the best of my cat. Later I called back to refill the monthly vaccine. The staff answered the phone quickly and took care of that immediately. I really like their service. Also the price is great and affordable. Read Less

Dr. Eickelman and the vet tech who tended to my dog were wonderful. They showed compassion and took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me even though it was past closing time. They were also open and up front with their treatment pricing so I wasn't caught off guard by a huge bill. Read Less

Today was the first time I have been here. Today was not a five star day for me, ultimately I had to put my baby down. But the staff definitely deserves five stars. I didn't have an appointment and they got me right in. The Vet, S. Vanderford was very professional and informative. Explained everything with compassion but didn't beat around the bush. His assistant (didn't catch her name), was also very professional and compassionate. I recommend this Vet. Read Less

We had a positive experience at Westside Vet Clinic. The technician saw us quickly and kindly recorded all the information we brought about our cat. It was a bit of a wait to see the vet, but she was busy caring for some very sick kittens. When we saw her, she was kind, thorough, and explained everything we needed to know and answered all our questions. Westside Veterinary Clinic is recommended. Read Less

We're new to the area and needed our dogs to be vaccinated for an upcoming boarding. The office made an appointment that day and the staff were super accommodating with my two nervous dogs. One staff member even took my dogs away to calm them while I was checking out. The vet and vet tech were excellent with my dogs and made them feel calm. Prices were reasonable as well. Excellent visit! Read Less

We've been pleased with the facility so far. We used them for annual checkups, spaying, and boarding. They even performed an annual checkup on one of our pets during his boarding stay. I think prices are a bit inflated - I don't see any reason for a bath at a vet office to be more expensive than a bath at Petsmart. It would also be nice if they offered a discount on lodging or exit baths when boarding multiple animals as other facilities in the area do so I knocked off a star for that. Otherwise, it's a clean and efficient facility that's close to home so I'm a fan overall. Read Less

Our first experience was a pleasant one. You can smell the cleanliness when you open the front door. Staff is very friendly. We were seen within minutes of arriving. Dr. E. and his assistant was proficient in their jobs, that you can tell they love. We have made reservations for our dog to be boarded next month, we'll see how that experience goes, and hopefully we can post another positive experience. Thank Westside Read Less

My dogs have gone nowhere else their entire lives. The doctors and staff are always honest, sweet, loving to my fur babies and geniually care. They take time to listen to and explain the dogs health needs to me. Love this place. Read Less

Our little 11 week old Yorkie was sick today. Not eating and just laying around. He also had worms in his poop. I called they were so nice and got me in. The tech and the doctor was great. The doctor gave us a good plan for him and they gave him fluids. Once he had his fluids he perked up some. So I am thankful they knew exactly what to do. I would recommend them to anyone that has a pet. You could really tell that everyone there loved their jobs. Great 1st experience. Read Less

I love getting a diagnosis. At other Vets they give you meds that may or may not help. The doc had the diagnosis and the paperwork to help me understand what is going on. I would recommend Westside to anyone looking for a good Vet. Read Less

After my chiweenie was attacked by a German shepherd, I rushed him into Westside for medical care. Dr. Vanderford was amazing. He was very informative, thoroughly explaining our options and giving us excellent advice. Also he was so very gentle and good with my Gizmo, keeping him calm and comfortable. Dr. Vanderford has a patient for life :) Read Less

Recently my Sheltie, Sophie, required surgery. Dr Vanderford was a recommended surgeon and I chose him to care for my girl. He did a wonderful job and I knew I had made the right decision. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Although his skills are excellent, his kindness and patience are even more admirable. Read Less

Today we had our two Wire Fox Terriers groomed by Cara Campbell, DVM and her staff. The entire experience was great. The staff is very friendly, kind and helpful. We would recommend Westside Veterinary Hospital to anyone in need of veterinary services. Read Less

A little pricey, but fantastic service. For example, I was charged $30 to admin Benadryl to my less than 5lb puppy. I could have bought 10 bottles and administered it myself for that much. Why I will keep going here despite the cost...my vet is super attentive and nice; she really cares and spends time answering questions. Even stays past closing time to take care of her pet patients and their families. I'll just have to get some good pet insurance for future appointments or else it's really going to break mommy and daddy's pockets. :-) Read Less

My husband and I moved to the area recently and I was anxious about finding a vet that I loved as much as our previous one and after reading reviews for Westside, decided to drive a little farther out than I'd planned to and am so glad that I did. The staff was wonderful and the vet who took care of my pups - updated their shots, general check-up, flea treatment - was so great and patient. He explained everything they were doing in detail and answered all the questions that I had about the medicine that was prescribed and follow-up treatments. Such a relief to have a place that I trust so much with my furbabies! Read Less

Awesome job overall. My only complaint was that we had to wait about 20 minutes past our appointment time just to get roomed, and the communication about this wasn't great. That said, they only charged us for one exam despite doing two, which was appreciated. They are clearly a popular place, which has its challenges, but I was very satisfied overall. Read Less

I took care of all paperwork via their website. When I arrived all my information had been drawn up, and I only had to sign confirming all was correct. The office, and exam room, smelled clean, and were well taken care of. The vet tech was very sweet and worked well with our dog. You could really tell she had a knack for animals, and enjoys her job. The veterinarian took her time with our visit, and answered all questions. She was thorough and kind in her delivery of information. Read Less

Everyone in the office was so sweet & excited to meet my puppy, Max. The Vet tech actually said he was the cutest puppy she'd ever seen. Doctor was warm and kind and very gentle with my baby boy. Explained everything thoroughly and gave recommendations for feeding, training, and bathing. A wonderful first visit to Westside! Read Less

Great group of caring professionals. I highly recommend them. I have utilized the services of several of the doctors and loved them all. They have cared for my cats and dogs. I took a feral cat to have it spayed. They called and told me it had already been spayed. I was impressed with the honesty of the doctors. I had taken another stray to a different clinic and they charged me for spaying. I later found out the cat was already spayed. Read Less

Great clean facility! Everyone was caring with my pet who is not so socialized. They took the time to answer any questions I had for them! Also love they're online profile for myself and pet to give us reminders!! From the vet to the techs, to front desk they were all sweet! Excellent vet at excellent prices! My dog and any future pets will be lifelong client(s) here.Read Less

Brought my sick cat in on his leash. The vet techs had to take him away for weight etc. and gave him so much love. They finally pinpointed his disease and gave me some answers. Trust them completely. But made an appointment 2 weeks in advance and still had to wait around 45 mins for the doctor. Other than that, very satisfied Read Less

We walked in not having an appointment today. Saturday and they close at noon. We walked up and let her know we didn't have an appt..could they please have mercy on us. Without skipping a beat, she said of course we can see her. We figured we would be waiting a while, but nope 15 mins later we were in a room. The vet tech (I can't think of her) was awesome! Willow was almost falling asleep in her arms as Dr. Eickelman was explaining stuff to us. We have been looking for a new vet..I think we found one today. We really do appreciate you seeing Willow today and taking good care of her. We will be back with our other two furbabies. Read Less

After numerous bad that experiences over the years, I took a recommendation to bring my great Dane puppy to Dr. Campbell for her ear cropping. We unfortunately had just lost another Dane puppy at a very young age due to an inattentive vet, and we were very paranoid this time around. Dr. Campbell made it very clear that the overall health of our dogs is more important than anything else and it shows. Her staff knows our dogs by name and I can tell our babies enjoy their time with them. They genuinely care about the pets and even recognize my voice over the phone before I tell them who's calling. I honestly believe you get what you pay for and their prices are reasonable but you know you're getting a great quality of care. Read Less

I visited Westside Vet Hospital with a beautiful puppy I had just rescued from Pearland Animal Control. I highly recommend them. They were so helpful and nice. They were able to squeeze me in day after I called. I had to wait a little bit but the staff couldn't have been nicer, getting my puppy and me water and getting us into a room as soon as they could. Their prices were great, the staff, the vet and vet tech were great and they give discounts if you adopt a pet from Pearland Animal Control. They gave Tootsie and me great care and I really appreciate everything they did for us. Thank you, Westside! Read Less

Last January, my 9 year old chihuahua was attacked by my neighbor's dog. She underwent emergency surgery that night at a 24 hour facility. Three days later, Izzy was transferred to Westside and has been under their care ever since. So, it's safe to say, I have been to Westside 20+ times in the past 3 months. I've seen the doctors and staff at Westside many, many, MANY times since Izzy was first admitted, which has really given me the opportunity to get to know them on a personal basis. This is what i have learned: The doctors and staff at Westside have been extremely loving, patient and dedicated with little Izzy. Pets are always welcomed with a smile, and Izzy is often greeted by someone that recognizes her. Izzy feels very comfortable around their staff, which makes me feel at ease when dropping her off. I know she is always in good hands. Dr. Ikleman and Mr. Doleski are amazing! They have been extremely kind and helpful throughout this difficult time for my family. They truly want what is best for Izzy and for that, I am extremely grateful.Westside is not just some veterinary clinic - it's a home away from home for all of the animals in their care. They genuinely love their animals. Thank you Westside for all that you do! Read Less

The female doctor there, Dr. Campbell is AMAZING. However, if you get unlucky and have to see Dr. Hofsvetter, than I would just cancel the appointment. He is very condescending, doesn't listen to your concerns, will laugh at your concerns, and then do whatever he wants without talking to you. I took my dog in for a check up, normally $35 before taxes. They take him back to get his weight, they bring him back to me, and now there's $60 of extra charges that I wasn't even aware of until I was paying. I got the reciept to see what I had paid for and there were shots he hadn't told me about or explained to me, or given me a price or anything. I went in there expecting maybe $60 for the trip and left having paid $125. Prior to that, I had taken my dog in to get his tumors looked at. In the past my dog has had problems with tumor growth. It will accelerate quickly and in places that will make it hard for him to move and walk. I explain this to the doctor and he just laughed at me and told me my concerns were worthless and I was just worried about the asthetic look of my dog. Really? No, the one that kept him from walking a few years back has returned and it's growth was getting faster and I wanted to get it before it messed up his shoulder and walking again. He laughed at me and then left the room. Then I took my dog in for a special little two minute procedure and wanted to ask the vet tech if she could look at his leg and tell me if I could just keep putting neosporin on it, or if he needed something stronger or what. The lady at the front desk tells me I have to make an appointment just to ask that question, and that is because a vet tech isn't trained to know that kind of stuff. I have half a dozen friends who are vet techs in other areas, I know that they know this stuff. But they just want my money. Read Less

I took my Chihuahua to get her teeth cleaned by Dr. Campbell. Because she is almost 12 years old and issues with a previous cleaning by another vet (severe wheezing for months afterwards), I was very nervous about having them cleaned again. By the time I took her to Dr. Campbell, her teeth were in pretty bad shape. Dr. Campbell assured me that everything would be OK and that she would take every precaution when putting the tub and removing it. Well, it has been four days since she had them cleaned and she is in great shape. She has not shown a single sign of her throat being irritated and has not wheezed once. Even though she lost most of her teeth, she is gobbling her food down as if she had a full set and is once again barking her little head off at the 120 pound dog next door. The entire office staff was very professional and caring. I had other issues with my previous vet and after talking with Dr. Campbell, I feel comfortable switching to her clinic. Read Less

We love everyone here at Westside. Their prices are extremely reasonable compared to other locations that we have taken our dogs. We have 2 large dogs and all our friends are shocked at how much we have done for the cost! We recommend them all the time. Read Less

This is the worse veterinary clinic I have been to. My dogs are 14 years old and I have been lucky to have poutstanding doctors care for them. Dr.m Campbells office is a ripe off! Stqay away from Dr. Ulfohn. MY DOG'S CONDITION IS WORSE. WHILE HOSPITALIZED THERE SHE STARTED TO SWELL. I POINTED THIS OUT AND ALL THEY COULD SAY IS ""OH I AM NOT SURE"". When I went to pick up my dog they left the cathiter in her arm and her arm became swollen 3x's the size. I will update you on the prognosis when I get one. The cost was close to $900. It is in my opinion they need their mortgage or taxes paid. They had absolutely no regard nor concern for the health of my dog! BEWARE> BEWARE> BEWARE Read Less

My Mom took my brothers dog there recently after he was hit by a car. She told them that she wasn't sure the exact day that he was hit (possibly on Sat or Sun), she filled out what little she knew about the dog and gave them my brothers number to contact him. He NEVER received a call. They never contacted him to let him know what was going on, how his dog was or what procedures they needed to perform on him. NOTHING. My brothers dog was not on any heartworm meds, etc. (From my own experience working at an animal hospital in Pearland for years, we ALWAYS tested the animal for HW's if they hadn't been previously tested or treated, unless the client refused. We would then tell them the dangers of not having their animal tested, and the problems their animal may have handling the anesthetic.) They put him under, popped his hip back into place and called it good. My Mom had to go pick him up because they never called my brother to let him know anything, just to call my Mom and have him picked up. Well he died the next day. Hmm, funny how a dislocated hip can kill a dog! He was fine that night after the procedure, the next day my Mom went to check on him (my brother was at work), and he was dead. She called to talk to the tech (whom apparently isn't well trained and should be in a completely different job field) and asked how this could happen, and if they performed a heartworm test. The girl didn?t know what to say and she said no that he wasn?t tested, but lo and behold they had charged him to be tested and said that they would test him! (My Mom had informed them that he had not been on any kind of flea or heartworm prevention). Now they're demanding their money...for killing a dog. If the dogs condition was that serious my brother would have done what he had to do to get him well. Not just pop his hip back into place and let him come home to die!!! My brother offered to pay the office visit fee and the cost of the X-Rays, but the owner said no he wants payment in full. Can you say CROOK??!! I will definitely be warning all my friends and family about this place. Read Less

I took my dog in because she has been limping and has a large lump in her rib area. Initially Dr. Ulfohn wanted to do xrays and of course I agreed. A few minutes later I was told the xray machine was broken and that I should go somewhere else. I paid for an office visit and was told nothing about the condition of my dog. On my way to find another vet Westside called and said their xray machine was fixed so I turned around. They took two xrays of my dog, neither of them addressed the issues I brought her in for. For some reason they took xrays of her lungs, the results of which seem to indicate cancer in this area. I was told this was not good. Of course I broke down. I guess they thought because she might have cancer the problems I brought her in for were no longer relavent. My dog is still limping. Dr. Ulfohn could not explain the limp, never even attempted to explain the limp, they also did not xray the lump I brought her in for. The only thing I got for the two hundred dollars I spent was the name of an onologist. Hopefully this doctor will spend some time with my animal and address all of her pains and not stop caring because my dog may have cancer. Or maybe the indifference I fetl from the staff was becausie it was quitting time at Westside Vet. I will not be going back to this hospital. Read Less

All of my cats have been seen in their clinic. The staff is very friendly and it is very obvious the vet truly love their jobs. We have seen both Dr Campbell and Dr Ulfohn. Fabulous hours and very flexible Read Less

I have taken my dogs there for 2 years now. The vets and staff are wonderful! One of my dogs I got from a rescue group ended up having heartworms. They took great care of him and he is doing great now. Read Less

We recently had our dobie pup's ears cropped with Dr. Campbell and love the way it turned out. We have been very pleased with the care and have decided to transfer the care of our older dog over to her as well. We highly recommend her. Her and her staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Read Less
