Preventing health problems in your pet is a lot easier than treating health problems that have already developed.
The fact that animals cannot communicate their illnesses and often instinctively hide them means we are usually at a disadvantage when making diagnoses and planning treatments.
At Westside Veterinary Hospital, your initial consult with one of our doctors will include a question-and-answer session where we will determine what your individual pet(s) require to protect them from preventable diseases.
