Rabbit Fly-strike?

Dogs and cats love to dig about in the soil where there can be roundworm eggs. Your pet can end up swallowing them as they dig. This is why treating your pet regularly against worms is important as roundworms can be ingested anywhere. Speak to us about the treatments available for you.

Myxomatosis?

This is Koby.
He is a male NEUTERED labrador and has a body condition score of 5/9 (which basically means he is super fit!) - he could be a model with a waist like that!
This shows that neutering doesn't need to mean weight gain. He was in for his vaccination recently and Team Westport LOVE seeing super fit dogs in for their check ups!

Rabbit Fly-strike?

Meet super happy Cockapoo puppy Rhu! She was in for her check-up with the nurse and behaved Pawfectly!
Regular check-ups throughout your puppy's development allow the Veterinary team to monitor their growth and progress! These appointments also help to build your puppy's confidence for examinations and future visits to the practice!

Meet Cooper the Labradoodle pup! He was very chilled out wee dude for his exam with the nurse and is getting on great!
The Labradoodle became known in 1988 when Australian breeder Wally Conron crossed a Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle at the Royal Guide Dogs Associations of Australia in Victoria.
His aim with this combination was to combine the low-shedding coat of the Poodle with the gentleness and trainability of a Labrador to provide a guide dog suitable for people... with allergies to fur and dander.
A Dog from this first litter, called 'Sultan' displayed all the qualities Conron was looking to provide and worked as a guide dog for a woman in Hawii for ten years!

Happy holidays Pepe!!!
Pepe is off to France for his summer break. And it's well deserved. Old Pepe (he's 18 years old in just over a month) had major dental work at the start of the month. He has made a brilliant recovery and is back to his usual happy (although toothless....) self.
Have a great time Pepe!

Very young, old or debilitated animals are at most risk from parasites and one of these include biting lice. These wingless insects can make cats and dogs intensely itchy, to the point where they damage their own skin from scratching. Biting lice can be prevented with a regular treatment, so speak to us for more information.

King Charles Cavalier puppy Angus is a very confident wee pup who did great at his check-up with the nurse!
He's been having great fun recently, building friendships with a Labrador pup who's also a Guide Dog in training and his new Cocker Spaniel chum!

Rabbit Fly-strike?

This week Team Westport had a lovely visit from handsome Greyhound Teddy!
Teddy, who was somewhat a celebrity in his racing day's, has a very happy retirement ahead with fantastic new owners who have a love for rescue Greyhounds.
Team Westport loves a happy ending!

Meet Arlo the Cocker Spaniel puppy!
He was in for a check-up with the nurse and is getting on great!
Arlo is a confident little fella who loves making new best friends with everyone he meets!

Miniature Schnauzer Harold was all smiles in his consult with the nurse!
He's a super happy boy who's looking forward to a fun weekend ahead with a family get-together to celebrate his first birthday!

Myxomatosis?

If your pet has ever had ear mites, you may have wondered where they got them from. Usually it is from another infected pet as these little parasites can easily pass from one to another and are common in puppies and kittens. Because constant re-infestation can be a problem, if one pet in your home is diagnosed with ear mites, then all should be treated.

Wonderful caring staff who were great in their care of my buni and so kind and caring when I had to get him put down. Thank you all so much.

Thankyou to all the staff at Westport for their care of Rex in his most recent incident lol. He loves going to visit. Everyone is always so kind and tolerant of my crazy boy

Thanks to Julia and the great staff for their excellent care of both us and our elderly cat. You made a hard decision easier and were so gentle and considerate.

Thank you all for the care you have given to 6 generations of my dogs. everyone of the staff greet you with smiles and take care of your needs. I have found great support when I have had to say goodbye to one or other of my Skyes, and wonderful help when new litters are born.

Thank you Stuart and all the westport team for your wonderful care of Peanut during her cruciate surgery. Much better this morning and looking forward to her recovery. Your support and advice have been second to none. X

Superb service! My little dog needed attention and although the Clinic didn't have an available appointment, they managed to see her - as they did with another little dog who had turned up too. The staff are very friendly, explaining what they are doing and why. In particular, they have a kind, caring manner towards the animals. I found the Vet to be very thorough in his examination of Milli, clearly explaining the treatment options available, long term solutions etc., which I really appreciated. Nothing seemed like too much trouble - well done, everyone! Great staff, great service

Such an amazing veterinary clinic. Staff are so friendly, caring and do so much for all animals and help put owners at ease. I have had lots of loving pets myself, and all have been registered within this clinic. I'd like to thank all the staff for their help from myself, family and our pets. When my family & I lost our gorgeous collie Jake due to cancer, the staff were fantastic. Letting my boy be at home whilst they helped let him go peacefully. The staff also came a day or two afterwards to see how my family were getting on. I am forever grateful and I'd like to say a big thank you to Myra & the rest of the staff for everything you have done for us and are still helping when needed. Thank you.

Our cat Oli was hit by a vehicle on 13th Jan. and Stewart has been treating him since then. I would just like to say that the treatment that Oli has had us been fantastic.

He really cares about the animals he treats - 1st class vet I would recommend this vet 100% can’t thank them enough for the fantastic treatment and care they have shown Oli - Thank you so much The Hawkins Family

I would like to thank stuart and team for what they did for my little cat charlie. She was hit by a car 2 weeks ago and had to have her jaw wired due to a break and also her palette was snapped. Fantastic job stuart you have probably saved my little girls life. Thanks so much for all your time and hard work. You guys do a great job.

I would like to take the time to thank all the staff for the love and care they have shown Millie our precious Bichon who we sadly had to say goodbye to yesterday. I have hd many trips to Westport Vets over the years with both my Bichons.

I will tell you a story from the beginning.

We brought our lovely wee Millie back to our home in April 2005 in fact on my birthday the 24th of April.

My daughter and I had just returned from a holiday in Australia to visit my brother after the death of my father the year before. I felt a huge void when my Dad left this world and Millie came along.

Huge thanks to Westport vets and behind the scenes staff for helping get me back home, ready to continue my reign!

Your calm - reassuring - professionalism and genuinely friendly service to both myself and my accompanying humans, was first class.

Thanks

Monty

Huge thanks to Gillian, Myra and the team for making our much-loved cat Ludo’s last journey so bearable tonight. Wonderful people with buckets of empathy, and great with our kids who came to say goodbye to their pal ��

Highly recommended. Been a loyal customer for 24 years and would never change. Thank you again today for you quick help with our Kerrerea today with her badly cut paw �

Excellent service, my dogs love coming here.

Excellent service all round. My Maine Coon, Fingal, was treated for cancer recently and the care he received was second to none! He may only have one eye following his surgery but his wonderful, cheeky character remains! My other kitties also receive royal treatment when visiting! Cannot praise you all highly enough! Thank you so, so much! x

Can't thank Stuart and all the other members of staff enough. Our wee King Charles Cavailer was knocked down in December , getting run over at his back end, he suffered some serious injurys. Stuart and the team done everything to settle us and make Buster better, and after an operation Buster is on the mend. A few weeks house rest and Buster has just been back for his check up and he is back to his old self. Can't thank you guys enough taking time to explain everything to us nothing was too much bother . Thanks again guys x

Both my 6 year old Malamute and my 3 year old Malamute have been through a tough couple of months. Sura my eldest to get a mass removed from her elbow and Loki my youngest has all sorts of problems ranging from an infection in his gut, pancreatitis and now an infection in his anal gland. That said, this vet practice are absolutely amazing. The nurses and receptionist couldn't be any nicer and are so considerate of my dogs. My eldest is reactive towards other dogs so they find a way that minimizes her to contact with any other dogs when visiting. Loki on the other hand loves his cuddles. I have to say the vets are outstanding with Stuart in particular who is my go to guy whenever i have a problem. Amazing staff, amazing practice. Can't recommend them enough and glad i swapped vet practices.

Been a client here for years , always had fantastic service and advice, me and my family would never dream of changing our vets.
