We are in the process of revamping our website - please bear with us...

Need help for your pet?
Our highly qualified veterinary staff is here to help you in any way we can. We take our patient care seriously,  as part of the Veterinarian's Oath is "above all, do no harm". Sometimes when pet's are ill, it can be difficult to weigh "proper" medical care and tailor that to the client's ability to spend. Obviously, in severe sickness, a pet owner sometimes can accrue a very large veterinary bill. Do our best to keep you advised of your pet's medical expenses at all times, either for out patient visits with computer-generated estimates or hospitalized patients with daily doctor exams and account updates.

Bed and Biscuit Pet Retreat
We know that choosing to leave your pet in a boarding facility can be a hard choice, that is why we offer superior care and attention for all of your furry family members. You can view and print out our boarding contract which explains the options available to you and your pet during their stay. If you do choose to have your pet stay with us, you may fill out a contract for your pet and bring it with you when checking in. This will save time for you and make your check-in run smoother.

What to ask your veterinarian about vaccinations...
The ideas and medical reasonings behind administering vaccinations have been prevelant for years and were developed before most of us were born. Vaccines act by stimulating the immune system to build resistance against certain diseases. While most of the diseases that we, as veterinarians, vaccinate for are significant and possibly life threatening, there has been speculation over the last 10-15 years that maybe we don't need to use certain types of vaccines as frequently as we have been. The doctors at Westwood have taken a head on approach with this controversy and have chosen to make changes to our vaccine policies as a result of the recommendations and guidelines set forth by AAHA and AAFP.

We use high quality and proven effective vaccines for all dogs. Puppies are encouraged to follow the recommended vaccine booster schedule to ensure complete effectiveness of the vaccines. We vaccinate adult dogs with a manufacturer labeled 3 year Rabies vaccine and recommend administering the adult DHPP vaccine every 3 years after puppyhood. The adult Leptospirosis vaccine is recommended annually while Lyme and Bordetella vaccines are recommended annually depending on your pet's lifestyle.

We use adjuvant free feline vaccines. What this means to you and your pet is that these vaccines have been proven to be safer for use in cats. Kittens are encouraged to follow the recommended vaccine booster schedule to ensure complete effectiveness of the vaccines. After kittenhood, adult cats are vaccinated every 3 years for FVRCP while Feline Leukemia vaccine is given every 3 years depending on your cat's lifestyle. We use a 1 year muanufacturer labeled Rabies vaccine for cats.
