Dr. Bensen allows as much time as needed to serve the animals in his care. His staff is professional, but more importantly compassionate and friendly.

I've visited a few times and had petty good service art a decent price, however many last visit the vet barely looked at my dogs and really didn't answer any of my questions. I had gone in because my dog hurt her toe and birth dogs had skin issues that i wanted help with.
No help and he missed my dogs ear infection and skin infection. A family friend, 3 years as a vet took one look and helped me out two days after my visit.
I am so frustrated that i might never return.

Have used a previous vet for 10 yrs. everyone butone retired. Now I can never get an appointment, which after three days trying the dog died. This was not good service and my daughter-in-LAW` recommended West Lake. I was able to get an appointment timely. My dog has a very likely cancer and Dr. Benson explained what the surgical option would entail which my previous vet neglected to mention, and this was very much a deciding factor to forgo surgery. I am pleased with this physician as well as his great office staff. My dog and I are in good quality, knowledgeable hands. Highly recommend West Lake.

We love West Lake Animal Hospital! They take such good care of our dogs every time we go in there. They are also very patient and kind about phone calls. I've had to call twice now when I've been worried about the health of one dog or the other and the techs have been amazing both times. When one of them was unsure, she checked with the vet and called me back with his answer. I highly recommend this facility. They are so compassionate! It's relatively easy to get a fast appointment too, even when scheduling checkups for two dogs.

Dr. Benson and his staff saved our puppies life! She wasn't eating and was throwing up, another vet did blood work and sent her home saying nothing was wrong. After a day or two with no change I decided to get a second opinion. West Lake suggested an x-ray which found a foreign object. They did surgery the next morning. We are luck they did because the intestine had perforated. She would have died if they hadn't found it in time. Our family is grateful that we get to enjoy our goofy Chloe for years to come!

Very backwards vet! The only anti-inflammatory they have on hand is Rimadyl. My husband didn't know how dangerous it is for dogs(the last dog I gave it to almost died). After finding out he asked for a refund or a different drug, nope can't do that. My dog is supposed to go back Friday but she won't be going here. I am sitting with 40.00 of worthless drug, we are low income disabled people, so we can't really afford to waste that money. If I have to I will drive out to Brookside in Ogden. I need a vet who cares about my fur baby and listens to me and my concerns and who has more than one option. Run from this place, they are only in it to make some money, not for pets or pet parents.

Front office staff is terrible and insensitive. More worried about punching out for the day than your pet. They contradict eachother with their quotes and statements. We found one very sweet and honest lady of the whole group. The doctor is sweet and cares about the animals. I understand this is a business, but they make that very apparent. When paying for healthcare you should get the best possible. Not a rushed experience.I'd avoid this place if you truly love your pet.

I love this vet, I've been going for three years, and last year my cat was diagnosed and treated for cancer. Any other vet would have told me he was a gonner being that he is a senior cat and had two spots, but just two months later my cat was back to his happy self. The Vet was very confident that my cat woud have a few more years if all went well. It's now been over a year and he is still here and as playful and active as ever.

I took my 6 month old chihuahua/rat terrier puppy to get spayed a few months ago. Being a first time pet owner, I reviewed tons of different places to make sure my cute little puppy got the best care possible. When I found West Lake, it was the nearest high rated place so I chose this one...and I'm glad I did.
The staff was great, they walked me through all the different options, told me about pricing right off the bat, and called me to give me regular updates on how my puppy was doing. They even let me drop off a little plush dinosaur toy for my pet to lay down on that she used while she was in there. It's the little details like this that really make me feel that they care about their patients and their parents.
Now it's our other puppy's turn to get spayed and this is the only place we want to have it done.

Dr. Benson and his staff are by far, the best. I trust his knowledge, concern and word with all of my pets. Our German shepherd, our poodle and our cat have all been well taken care of by them, and will continue to be throughout their lives.

Absolutely wonderful! The staff truly cares about the well being of your animals. I'm so impressed with Dr. Benson and his staff. His pricing is reasonable and from what I've read, his career isn't about the money it's about taking care of animals. I highly recommend West Lake!

My dog was misdiagnosed she didn't have hip dysplasia she has a tumor on her spleen size of a small basketball. I have to put her to sleep. I've been treating her since last March for something she doesn't even have. Everything about her is good other than that. She could of been saved. They only care about money. I'm reporting him. His assistant said I was ovr exaggerating. Wat a thing to say. My best friend is dying o can't afford to put her to sleep. I'm on social security don't have any money. I'm sick inside.

We love West Lake Animal Hospital! They take such good care of our dogs every time we go in there. They are also very patient and kind about phone calls. I've had to call twice now when I've been worried about the health of one dog or the other and the techs have been amazing both times. When one of them was unsure, she checked with the vet and called me back with his answer. I highly recommend this facility. They are so compassionate! It's relatively easy to get a fast appointment too, even when scheduling checkups for two dogs.

Dr. Benson and his staff saved our puppies life! She wasn't eating and was throwing up, another vet did blood work and sent her home saying nothing was wrong. After a day or two with no change I decided to get a second opinion. West Lake suggested an x-ray which found a foreign object. They did surgery the next morning. We are luck they did because the intestine had perforated. She would have died if they hadn't found it in time. Our family is grateful that we get to enjoy our goofy Chloe for years to come!

They really care about our fur baby and are reasonably priced. Staff is always friendly and they always call to check on us the next day. Also no high pressure, unneeded procedures.

Very backwards vet! The only anti-inflammatory they have on hand is Rimadyl. My husband didn't know how dangerous it is for dogs(the last dog I gave it to almost died). After finding out he asked for a refund or a different drug, nope can't do that. My dog is supposed to go back Friday but she won't be going here. I am sitting with 40.00 of worthless drug, we are low income disabled people, so we can't really afford to waste that money. If I have to I will drive out to Brookside in Ogden. I need a vet who cares about my fur baby and listens to me and my concerns and who has more than one option. Run from this place, they are only in it to make some money, not for pets or pet parents.

Front office staff is terrible and insensitive. More worried about punching out for the day than your pet. They contradict eachother with their quotes and statements. We found one very sweet and honest lady of the whole group. The doctor is sweet and cares about the animals. I understand this is a business, but they make that very apparent. When paying for healthcare you should get the best possible. Not a rushed experience.I'd avoid this place if you truly love your pet.

I love this vet, I've been going for three years, and last year my cat was diagnosed and treated for cancer. Any other vet would have told me he was a gonner being that he is a senior cat and had two spots, but just two months later my cat was back to his happy self. The Vet was very confident that my cat woud have a few more years if all went well. It's now been over a year and he is still here and as playful and active as ever. So thankful for these caring people (:

I had some questions about my dog, you can always call them and they will give you straight answers, my dog ended up passing away so we took him there, they were so caring and let us spend as much time with him as we needed, they are an AMAZING Hospital, I recommended all my friends and family to them, my brother and my mother have taken their dogs here when they passed away, they got great service as well. THIS PLACE IS GREAT!

I took my 6 month old chihuahua/rat terrier puppy to get spayed a few months ago. Being a first time pet owner, I reviewed tons of different places to make sure my cute little puppy got the best care possible. When I found West Lake, it was the nearest high rated place so I chose this one...and I'm glad I did.
The staff was great, they walked me through all the different options, told me about pricing right off the bat, and called me to give me regular updates on how my puppy was doing. They even let me drop off a little plush dinosaur toy for my pet to lay down on that she used while she was in there. It's the little details like this that really make me feel that they care about their patients and their parents.
Now it's our other puppy's turn to get spayed and this is the only place we want to have it done.
