The staff here are professional caring animal lovers, that want the best for You and your pet. Highly recommend.👍Gary Y.Gary Y. ★★★★★ We had some bad experiences with vets until we found West Jefferson Animal Hospital. The vets and assistants are professional, but also caring to both pets and their owners. Prices are reasonable and the vets work to give options for pet care. They also have evening, weekend and holiday hours. We found them when they were open on the night before by Thanksgiving for an emergency. Our dog recently needed surgery. The procedure was arranged through a different vet, but all the follow up care has been done locally (and they did it for a very minimal fee). And the real clincher us that our dogs actually like to go to the vet. That has never happened before!Margaret G.Margaret G. ★★★★★ West Jefferson Animal Hospital is the absolute the best. Not only loving great care for animals but complete amazing Vets and Staff. They really care about the animals.

I take 3 out of the 4 fur babies out there now and taking the 4th in very soon. Extremely nice and caring staff.Tiffany A.Tiffany A. ★★★★★ We have been taking our babies there for many years now. The staff and the Vets are amazing! They truly care about your fur babies, and they care about your feelings in whatever is going on. These are not "just animals" to them, they are your family and that is what they are to them. I have had so many memorable experiences with them from taking my babies in for their first shots to the day I have had to let one go (with one of the doctor's sitting in the floor with me). There is true compassion and care you won't find anywhere else. If you want a place like this, don't trust your babies or your heart to anywhere else. I will always take my fur babies there and I will always tell everyone I know, this is the place to go.Sharon B.Sharon B. ★★★★★ I have had to unfortunately put down two of my furbabies... and the Dr and all of the staff there is absolutely amazing and truly caring! I could not have asked for better people for this situation to help me with this process!Dani D.Dani D. ★★★★★ They provide excellent care to our sheena🐕William C.William C. ★★★★★ I love West Jefferson Animal Hospital. I've been taking my dogs there since they were 3 months old and they're 12 years old now. The vets are amazing, explain everything so I can understand it, and love my dogs.

I wouldn't consider going to any other vets.Stephanie S.Stephanie S. ★★★★★ I cant say enough good things about WJAH.

Thoroughly checked out my dog. Very pleased.mike H.mike H. ★★★★★ They are the best. I've been going to them for years. I recently had to contact my puppy who had possibly swallowed an item while at a puppy play facility. They worked me in early Saturday morning to evaluate and take x-rays even though they didn't have any official openings. They have always shown concern for my pets and me by taking time to explain in detail there findings. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.Karen W.Karen W. ★★★★★ This is a great Animal Hospital.

Kimberly C.

The staff are Amazing. They treat the animals and their owners like family. I would highly recommend them!!!

Heidi S.

We drive 40 min across town to take our pets here, because Dr Stephenson & Dr Arvin are top notch vets and wonderful people. They have our complete confidence. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Kym K.

I’ve been taking my pets here for over 30 years. Even my pet duck and a baby lamb I was caring for until a farm could be found to take the newborn.

Becky D.

I have two dogs that go to this clinic. The staff is so friendly. Compared to their close competition their prices are almost half. I switched due to their flexibility in schedule, cost, friendliness, and overall care. As long as I live within driving distance, I will always use this clinic! Cannot give them more love!

Liesl R.
