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.

Poor not going here again! I knew about the $50 deposit not refunded but at lest have some decency when someone has an emergency they can't control. It's like hey if you get into an accident, or if your home is on fire or you have water everywhere we don't care how you feel you still lost the 50. You people are not understanding. At least other Vets are more understanding when you have an emergency you can't control. Thanks a lot for NOTHING!!!! All I wanted was flea meds but NOPE they wanted their money instead. Crooks!

Awful vet, I have a great dane puppy and I spoke with them at her appointment about getting her spayed after her first heat cycle. No one ever mentioned to me they do not spay dogs over 75lbs until I called to inquire about her spay. They are not upfront, do not know about great dane health and the receptionist is extremely rude.

Called in December for my dogs annual checkup & to ask price of service since money is tight & wanted to be able to make sure I could have the cash. They tell me $50 for the visit if no concerns, but have to wait until February for appointment. Disappointed it'll be so long ,but it is what it is. Fast forward to February at the exam, they ask if we have any concerns & we say no. They check his ears & say they are gunky & say they'll so us how to clean them. They ask about stool sample (knowing they charge extra for that), I decline. They tell me since I declined the stool test they are gonna do heartworm/lime test(never mentioning it wouldn't be included into the original quote). They show us how to clean out his ear(never mentioning an upcharge) & say they need to test for bacteria( again never mentioned an upcharge) & precede to say he needs an antibiotic ointment for an infection. Go out to reception area to pay & they hit me with a $209.00 bill after being quoted $50.00. I told them to begin with I didn't have that as I was quoted $50.00. So they reworked the bill to only charge for services rendered so far & still came to $109.00, being charged $59.00 for the heartworm/lime test I wasn't told would cost extra. When looking at the original bill they tried adding charges for ear cleaning & cytology which they also never said would cost extra. The kicker is I couldn't even afford the ointment that he actually "does" need because of Westfield Vet's chiseling practices. I usually don't have problems with them, but this experience has me questioning going back to these chiseling, greedy "doctors". One things for sure, if I do I'll be asking after every sentence, "Does that cost extra?", to these money grubbing upchargers...
