Urgent Care
Westmount Animal Clinic provides immediate veterinary care for critical pet emergencies. Our fully equipped facility includes digital X-rays, in-house lab testing, and life-saving equipment to stabilize pets during urgent situations. The experienced team handles trauma cases, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other acute conditions while preparing patients for transfer to specialized emergency hospitals when needed. We prioritize rapid response and compassionate care during critical moments.
Wellness Care
Our comprehensive wellness programs focus on disease prevention through regular checkups and vaccinations. Services include parasite testing, age-specific blood work, and customized vaccination schedules tailored to each pet's lifestyle. Senior pets receive biannual exams to monitor age-related changes, while puppies and kittens get developmental assessments. This proactive approach helps detect health issues early when they're most treatable, ensuring pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized services for aging pets focus on managing chronic conditions and maintaining quality of life. We offer early disease detection through regular diagnostics, pain management strategies, and nutritional counseling tailored to senior needs. Our team addresses mobility issues, organ function changes, and behavioral shifts associated with aging. Customized treatment plans help older pets remain comfortable and active during their golden years while providing owners with practical care guidance.
Surgical Services
The clinic provides surgical care with advanced monitoring equipment and temperature-controlled environments. Services include routine procedures like spays/neuters and complex surgeries handled by board-certified specialists. Pre-anesthetic blood work ensures patient safety while comprehensive pain management supports smooth recoveries. Our sterile operating suite and skilled veterinary technicians maintain high standards for both elective and emergency surgical interventions.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address each pet's specific dietary needs based on age, health status, and lifestyle. We recommend therapeutic diets for managing conditions like diabetes and kidney disease while offering guidance on weight management and life-stage transitions.

I ordered a vet brand kitten kibble from here over the phone as a non client, picked it up a couple hours later at the door. It was a quick transaction with no issues. Would consider becoming a client in the future as needed.

Great first experience. Nice facility and staff. Vet was great with my dog during the exam and treatment. As it was our first visit, they allowed me to enter the facility even though curbside policy is in place. This was very appreciated. Price was reasonable and matched quote given over the phone. In short, so far so good. I like it.
