Westbridge Veterinary Hospital

They took great care of my cat when she past away. They were very sympathetic and made the process easier. They were very helpful with my Anxeity and stress to the situation.

Westbridge Veterinarians and Staff are some of the kindest, most compassionate in the business. They took such great care of our dog Roxy up to, and including, in her final moments. Thank you in particular to Dr. Hylands and Andi on that extremely difficult day. Your kindness and compassion will not be forgotten.

We've been bringing our cat and dog here for years. We love all the vets and techs. We highly recommend Westbridge!

It’s 6:55PM, I accidentally open a door on my dog’s paw (he was in my blindside and I didn’t see him, honest mistake!), I rushed down to the hospital, knowing full and well they close at 7. Not only did they take him in, they spent close to 40 minutes taking care of my boy and booked me an appointment for the next day. I’m telling you NO OTHER vet is going to provide you with service like that.

We have been taking our 2 dogs to Westbridge for about 7 years now. The staff at Westbridge are excellent, and we’ve always gotten nothing but the very best care and support from everyone on the Team — Receptionists, Animal Care Attendants, Veterinary Technicians, and the Veterinarians. I have to particularly mention Doctor Hylands (or Dr Bob as we like to call him). About a month ago one of our pups took ill (retching / vomiting) and Dr Bob recommended a series of tests to try and determine the problem. Later that day, he spent over an hour with us going over the tests he had done, showing us the X-rays and Ultrasounds which identified an intestinal irritation as well as an incidental finding — an abdominal mass (tumor) that was of great concern and for which further tests were suggested. We took the necessary steps to address the intestinal irritation and returned to Westbridge shortly thereafter for what we thought would be a needle biopsy of the mass. A new Ultrasound done that day showed significant changes in the size and shape of the tumor. Westbridge has some very advanced medical equipment on site, and their ultrasound machine is able to scan tumors on a colour spectrum to assist the Veterinarians in determing if tumors are benign or malignant. In our case the tumor showed blue, which meant malignant. Dr Bob contacted us right away and recommended immediate removal of the tumor. Once the surgery started, it was discovered that the tumor had adhered to our dog’s small intestines and appendix, making the surgery to remove it more complicated. Dr Bob was able to remove the tumor along with a small piece of appendix and small intestine. He identified the mass as an aggressive type of cancer, with the histology report confirming his findings along with the good news that the margins were clear, meaning no evidence that the cancer had spread beyond the tumor. We were very fortunate to have caught this early. To put it simply — Dr Bob saved our dog’s life. He helped us to understand the test results and make informed decisions in regards to the care of our pet, and recommended swift action when the test results indicated a drastic change in what we were dealing with. His skill was instrumental in our achieving the best possible outcome for our pup, and for that we will be forever grateful. We know our dog’s are in great hands with everyone at Westbridge Veterinary and that’s because they all truly care for their patients and the families. Thank you just isn’t enough. Do yourself and your pets a favour and join the Westbridge family. You’ll be glad you did. We always are!
