West Newton Animal Clinic

Please read to the bottom owners- Our first experience here was today and unfortunately it was not great. We had brought our elderly dog in who has been suffering from seizures recently which have been worsening. For context- yesterday he experienced 4 episodes which has never happened before. Obviously this messes with his brain and how he can function daily. The vet we had seen was pleasant and good at explaining for the most part. However, there was one comment they made when I was trying to question and explain how it is hard to decide between trying to let him live like this or put him to sleep as he still seems so full of life after he comes out of them but is very much struggling at the same time. The vet did cut me off quickly before finishing my sentence and said “seizures is no l

I have gone to this wonderful clinic in the past with my other dog who unfortunately passed. I haven't gone back until today with my new puppy. They were wonderful in communicating with me. I messaged them about my new puppy having a problem and they responded very quickly. I was able to get him seen and treated poor puppy had ear infection. The staff is wonderful, kind, friendly, and loves interacting and petting the pets they treat. And Dr Holmes was great and gave very clear instructions. The places has not changed and I loved going there and know I will still love going there!! Thank you everyone for all you do!!

Do not come here if your pet has a serious issue. If your animal is not a healthy animal take it somewhere else because these people lack the education to help you. My dog has a history of seizures, knowing this they approved a prescription for nexgaurd knowing it can cause seizures in dogs that already have them.

Have the balls to say you can’t handle the situation, my pet could’ve received better care and sooner. Do better. I see they replied.

They are always caring and compassionate with all of our pets. We are very blessed to have them as our veterinarians.

We took our sweet dog, Iggy, in for an exam after her breathing became labored. Dr. Holmes was so kind and caring when he explained the issue. My husband and I decided to euthanize her and the team surrounded us with care and compassion. I was able to hold her while she passed and will be forever grateful for the way the staff handled such a difficult time for all of us. They took excellent care of Iggy during her life, and made sure that her last moments were peaceful. Forever grateful, Dr. Cindy Rost and family
