My cat Mabel was barely a year old and was committing, not eating, not going potty. Lethargic and started to be malnourished. After consulting for two weeks with our regular vet I took her here. I was SO SCARED. She’s our baby. We have three kittens and everyone loves Mabel to death. She’s our family. We came here and got her checked in. We waited about 29 minutes before someone came to grab here then it took 3 hours for someone to come in. They only got busy after we arrived so I’d say make sure your phone is fully charged and if you have kids make sure you can keep them entertained! We showed up about 7:30, left about 11pm. They gave me a brochure for a care credit to help. I did not qualify, but my normal veterinary covered the cost. I left and was informed since my vet payed my vet would contact me with updates. WestVet is VIGILANT on updating you. I got many. My cat went into surgery. She had eaten silicone attachment to straws my mother gave my kids for Easter. My kitten LOVES silicone. She used to eat my ear plugs. I did not anticipate her eating the silicone because they were huge pieces. Her kidney levels were bad to. Luckily she made it perfectly out of surgery and she made it out of WestVet with better kidney labs. My vet met me and gave me medication and food for her. I got discharge papers in what medication to give her, when, and the healing process. My cat came home with a commoner head. Obviously so she wouldn’t tough her stitches. We were informed to keep her in a room by herself so she could heal and eat her food. A bland food diet is a must after a surgery I was informed and it could take up to 5 days to pass a bowel movement. WestVet was wonderful. There waiting room was nice and clean. They had a water fountain with cups and a mini fridge. A nice clean bathroom. Open livens of communication. Everything you’d want in a veg. I couldn’t have picked a better place to take my kitten. It’s 4 days past operation and she’s doing so well. She’s back to her normal quirky self and tried to eat my ear plugs which I put away immediately. No more silicone for this kitty. I’m so thankful with the care they provided for her and how open they were about everything. WestVet is very professional. I’d highly recommend

The staff at WestVet were so kind and caring on one of my worst days. My amazing cat Kessel had gotten sick in his old age and was slowly failing. During one recent weekend he took a turn and was clearly at the end of his life. No pet owner wants to be in the position to decide when their pet’s life should end, but I knew I had to do so. He was suffering and the kindest thing to do was to ease his passing.

My wife and I took him to WestVet and we explained what was going on and what we were hoping to have done. The staff were so kind. They were full of empathy and care. Each person we interacted with was wonderful to us and our sweet boy. They set us up in a comfortable room with couches and relaxing sounds to spend our last moments with Kessel. We were distraught and trying to hold it together. The vet was so kind and gentle and explained everything so well. She treated Kessel as though she’d known him for years. Very kind and loving.

While it was an absolutely horrible day, the choice of WestVet was definitely the right one. We have Kessel’s remains back now and they sent us a sweet card with flower seeds inside. We greatly appreciate how wonderful they were.

I can't express enough gratitude to WestVet for their exceptional care when my cat Zuko faced a life-threatening urinary obstruction. From the moment we arrived, the staff was compassionate and attentive. The reception team made us feel welcomed and eased our worries during a stressful time.
The doctors and techs were incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, explaining every step of the process and ensuring we understood the treatment options. Their dedication to my cat's health was evident, and I truly felt that he was in the best hands.
Thanks to the entire team at WestVet, my cat received the care he needed and is now on the road to recovery. Thank you, WestVet, for saving my baby!

Amazing place and vet. Clean new facility. Friendly staff. My cat started going down hill fast on the weekend and they were able to get him in and offered a new treatment plan than what we was currently on from the primary vet. This plan worked! He is now on the mend. Super knowledgeable! Thank you!

We had to take our sweet momma cat into their clinic late at night. They were kind, caring and compassionate from the time I called them to the moment we left. Neither baby ended up making it but they were wonderful with our poor cat. I can’t recommend them highly enough, from the gal at the front desk, to the gal who came and got her from me, the vet herself and the tech who discharged us, they made us feel that they were as concerned for our cat’s wellbeing as much as we were. They also don’t charge an arm and a leg to take care of your furry family member in their moment of need. Thank you so much!!!

Our vet recommended WestVet when they couldn't fit us in for an emergency visit. I was able to book an appointment for the same day. The service was wonderful. They were able to find out what my puppy needed, gave me the information I needed to help him, and prescribed him medication. The veterinarians were very kind.

I want to personally thank Dr. Cacioppo for the wonderful care he gave to our elderly dog, Minnie, yesterday when we came in due to her fainting spells. We really appreciated his bedside demeanor and his attentiveness to the care of our pet. He prescribed a medicine that turned out to be a miracle drug for her and stopped her fainting immediately. Today we saw a cardiologist at the Boise West Vet location (per Dr. Cacioppo's recommendation) and she confirmed the prescription was correct and gave us the reassurance that we needed to feel like we are on the right track in getting our girl back to her happy and healthy self. I am really impressed with the care Minnie received at West Vet and would recommend to anyone who experiences a pet emergency!

We had to take our puppy there. The service was outstanding right from the get-go. The receptionist was polite. Then she called the vet techs. Both ladies were friendly and caring. Eventually we talked to the vet and she was wonderful. Unfortunately, we had to put our puppy to sleep but what a caring place. We prefer not to take our animals to the animal ER but we will take them here every time now.
