West Plains Animal Hospital

As a veterinarian, Dr. Belles and crew are my trusted animal care team! I love their pragmatic, empathetic approach. I have known and worked with Dr. Belles for three decades. She is the best of an old style vet... who doesn't upsell for the $... with up to date knowledge and care. I recommend this team frequently to others.

I've been going here for YEARS and in fact for so MANY of my (concerning number of animals) I own WHOLE lives' I have ALWAYS held this place in high regard...UNTIL TODAY. How dare you speak to a child in the manner you did. I won't talk about the aggressive nature you held one of my "MANY" animals (NOT) pets in, because he was "so agressive" you had to "sedate" him LAST time when we came to YOU for CARE of our "MANY" animals the one being the one you manhandled today. You see we have had "many animals" for MOST of our lives and we KNOW how to properly care for them. You are allowed to have a BAD day or a LONG day but what you ARENT allowed to do is tell ME how many "animals" I can have before it becomes "concerning" you see I dictate just how many "animals" I am allowed to not only love fo

I was recently in to see the Vet for my dogs injured leg with the question of age and quality of life. After I had mentioned that we highly believe my dog to have hip dysplasia and that I wanted to know what the quality of life would be with the injury, the vet basically ignored my concerns and that my dog would be fine with seclusion and pain meds. This Vet told me after barely touching my dogs leg that it was an old muscular injury that had flared up. I decided to get a second opinion with a surgeon Vet that actually grabbed both my dogs legs and made them move so he could feel exactly what it was and he found that my dog had a COMPLETE ACL tear on the one leg and a partial tear in the other. He also noticed other signs from history and recommended blood testing to find the ACTUAL reason

I got my daughter this little cutie and needed a vet. My boyfriend recommended this place and honestly I couldn't be happier. The pricing is amazing and affordable, they are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to break things down. I had questions regarding my new cat as she was much younger than I previously was told and the vet was helpful and informative to make sure I keep her as healthy as possible. Will definitely come back and would recommended this facility to anyone.

I have a new dog who was a rescue, and can be a bit anxious, especially when it comes to being held in place for shots. She also is a bit reactive to other dogs. West Plains was really kind and accommodating for this, making sure there were no other dogs in the lobby at the time of bringing her in and going back to the car. The vet was also very nice and patient with my dog, and gave good advice on how to help alleviate some of the anxiety my dog was feeling. This is very relieving for me as I was worried about finding a vet that wouldn’t judge my baby for being anxious and reactive.
