How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Westfield Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

We trust Westfield Veternarian Hospital to take care of our puppy. This is our second dog that has been their patient. If I call with a question, they are always timely in getting back to me. I never feel rushed when we have an appointment. The receptionists, vet techs and veterinarians are always friendly and very personable. We love and trust Westfield.

Westfield is phenomenal. Their staff are always so kind and the doctors are very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain and provide options. It's so reassuring to find trusting and caring veterinarians.

We had to put Charlie, the guinea pig, to sleep.😭 In the photo, Charlie was alive but sedated for the examination purpose. Affordable, clean, very understanding, easy to make an appointment.

Completely unethical. Charged me almost $1000 for a neutering procedure. Really disappointed as I felt taken advantage of. Should have shopped around so maybe it’s partially on me but you would think they would look out for there customers and talk about options but it’s just a money gab. Researched after the fact and on the high end I found procedures were$500. Will not be returning. Can’t trust people, expensive lesson to learn Edit: now they are refusing to transfer paperwork to the new clinic. Playing games like they haven’t seen my dog. Clearly do not care about animals, just profit and greed. No morals or ethics. Sad world we live in

Our daughter recently became a snake owner and we wanted to get a vet established for any future care of the newest member of our family. I searched with google and found Westfield Veterinary Hospital to be one of few to offer an exotic pet vet. We drove 1.5 hours for this particular vet. Well worth the drive! They did not disappoint. I called ahead to set up an appointment. There were openings within a reasonable amount of time which I was extremely happy about. I was concerned that they might be overran and booked weeks out. That was not the case. They had next day and same week openings available. They were happy to take on a new patient. The location of the office was easy to find. The office is clean and has a very roomy open space. Plenty of comfortable seating, 2 public bathrooms easy to access. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They greeted us with a smile. We didn’t wait long in the office before being called back to a room. The assistant was great with communication and asking questions. The vet came in shortly after. She handled our sweet guy with care and confidence. She gave him a thorough examination and discussed options. She offered suggestions to help us being new to owning a snake and gave us printed information to further help us. Upon leaving we were promptly assisted at the counter with paying our bill and handed a printed receipt. I feel they are reasonably priced given the specialty care needed of our exotic pet. We had a wonderful experience for our first visit. We are happy and confident that we found our new forever snake vet. I would recommend Westfield Veterinary Hospital to anyone with exotic pets. I added a photo of my daughter, her snake, and me waiting in our room for the vet. Elvis, our ball python, was pretty comfortable too🙂
