Our 3 dogs were patients at the VCA on saticoy and Woodlake. They closed their office and merged with the one on fallbrook and did not notify any of there patients owners. The only way we found out was by driving there in a state of emergency. Our 13 year old beagle was attacked by a coyote. We needed him to be seen immediately. So we decided to come to WHAH!! That was the best choice!! We came in as an emergency and they welcomed our dog immediately. With so much care and love. They had a full busy day of appointments and s... read more

The staff there is amazing. My puppy is a monster and they were so great with him. They are patient and gentle and all very professional. Unlike other veterinary hospitals, this place doesn't try to scam you using your love for your pet... they are so honest and amazing. 

Business response:

Thank you very much for your terrific review AN. We love monster puppies (and all other puppies too) at WHAH. I'm so glad that your pups experience here was good. We strive to give you and your pet the best experience every time you come in. Looking forward to watching your pup grow.

The caring and great service here made a very difficult day go much more easily. Dr. Malott was wonderfully warm and compassionate. Her kind words and actions made all the difference. We are very impressed and grateful to her and all the corteous, caring staff. Our Gabriel had the best attention and we are very grateful. 

Business response:

Mary Carmen, we are all so sorry for your loss. We know that this is the worst day for all fur families. Please accept our condolences. And thank you for the wonderful feed back.

Truly the best veterinary care I've received - Dr Hengst is absolutely wonderful, thorough and understanding. We had a scary car accident that caused one of my dogs to begin coughing up blood, and they we so compassionate and careful in examining him throughout his healing. The office staff is so friendly and empathetic, and go above and beyond to help schedule appts and answer questions. Obviously the most important thing at a vet's office is proper care, but I've found that treating clients and their animals with kindne... read more

It was our good boy's time to go and West Hills Animal Hospital squeezed us in the same day and after a quality of life exam gave him the dignified sendoff that he deserved. A sad day but they took great care of us and of him. 

Business response:

We are all so sorry for your enormous loss. Hope you are doing well. Please let us know if there's anything that we can do for you.

I am inexplicably grateful that I have found West Hills Animal Hospital. This review is a long time coming! We moved to the area two years ago (we were just a single dog family at the time) and we needed a new vet. I was referred to WHAH to see Dr. Lawson. Never in my life have I met a kinder, absolutely transparent and calming human. Dr. Lawson is always so gentle and sweet with my dogs, they actually like to see her! Dr. Lawson also always goes over all of my options thoroughly for care when needed and is so patient with a... read more

We are so glad that your dogs like to come here and visit with us. The best compliment that we get is when our patients like to be here and see us. So thank you and Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at West Hills Animal Hospital!

The team here provided excellent service to my fur baby and our family over the years. I felt I had to share my experience with this business because they were extremely kind and caring this last year when my pup started visiting more often due to old age and other more serious conditions. Everyone was very sweet and kind as they got to know my pup as a regular in the office. At the end, they all went out of their way to express condolences and I really appreciate that. Thank you very sincerely to the docs and staff here at ... read more

Business response:

Thank you so much Beckie for your fantastic review. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with us from when your family first brought Sammy in- What a beautiful, sweet boy he was! Everyone at West Hills was very sad when he began to see us more often for treatment and, of course, when he passed. We hope that your family is doing okay after such a terrible loss. West Hills Animal Hospital is always here for you- Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you.

I can't give enough thanks to Dr. Gerards, Michelle the technician, Liz (receptionist) & entire team for taking such care of my ginger fur baby Penny. Not only did you fit me in when Penny was sick, but also kept me updated of her progress at every step of the way and advised me how to best care for her post hospitalization. Yesterday Penny got sick again and within 30 minutes Michelle the technician called me with medication and instructions. I would be lost without the amazing Dr. Gerards, Dr. Lawson and the entire team. ... read more

Business response:
