Westminster Veterinary Group

I took in my chinchilla, Chimi, for his recommended 6 month check up appointment for his teeth issues on Sunday 12/24/2023. We scheduled another tooth trimming for mid-January. However, a couple of days later, Chimi's health quickly deteriorated. The staff were able to take in Chimi immediately on Saturday and stabilize him.

While I was waiting at home, I had full trust in their ability to save his life. Unfortunately, the results showed that Chimi had kidney failure, probably from old age (10+ years), so I had to make the difficult decision to euthanize him.

Even though it was past closing, the staff kept their doors open for another hour and waited patiently as I said my goodbyes to my best friend. I will forever be grateful for the people here that helped Chimi through his medical issues in his last year. I really think he made the decision to go (didn't want to deal with another surgery!!), and he was surrounded by love in his final hours.

Thank you for sending a thoughtful card after his passing.

I haven't been to this vet for ages but after 10 years of not having pets, we finally got one for the kids. The person who sold us the puppy had taken care of them with updated shots. They chose Westminster Vet for our puppy. So to keep things easy, I just kept bringing our puppy back to the same place since all the records were already there.

They moved to a much smaller location on the same street. I have to say the service is much better and I'm not feeling the same sales tactics that was pushed on me relentlessly a decade ago. My dog hasn't had any big health issues that this veterinary location has resolved but so far, with the normal routine e check ups, I'm starting to feel like the staff cares more about the pets again like how it was when I first brought my other pet there long ago. That's a good thing!

Will keep this vet for my pet, for now.

so much comfort knowing my birds are in good hands. they were fairly sick when i got them but the Vets here helped nurse them back to good health. They always answered my questions and reassured me along the way.

I think the doctors are probably excellent however as with most Vets that treat BIRDS-expensive! Unknown neighbors saw a birdcage on my patio and figured I knew how to rescue a parakeet that was dying. Truthfully, it looked like it might've been dying , not moving out on another street. I picked it up off street and brought it home. Made several calls and could not drive it to Mission Viejo, and these lovely people said they could see it for $89....with a Senior Discount. I ended up keeping the bird after I placed a number that you couldn't find the owner for the little runaway.

I'm not saying it's not worth it I'm just saying, does anybody know of a low cost clinic for this type of thing ? . (I am not a Vet, nor do I play one on TV) Cheers.

This is the BEST place to bring your pets! They are patient and loving with our fur babies and with us when hard decisions need to be made. They ensure the best care at a reasonable price. They love our babies as much as we do!

Thanks for being there when Ham Bone
Need you he has gone to a new place.
Take care and thank you.

Best vets for both my Lionhaired Bunny and my two small dogs! Caring & fun and passionate

I've come here for different types of visits for my hamsters. Dr. Hueston is one of the few veterinary recommendations in the nearby area that are listed on the California Hamster Association's webpage. She is very caring and offers us different realistic options for our hamsters. We've gone through three major mass removals for one hamster with her, each one with confidence that the surgeries were going to go well (and they did!)

Westminster Veterinary Group was one of the first calls that I made when I came home and found my elder hamster in his last few moments of life. Staci was on the phone with me walking through all the different options and was still on the line with me when he took his last breath. Her compassion and empathy helped me through the difficult time and I'll never forget that. We went with their private cremation services, provided by West Coast Pet Memorial Services. We received an ornament with our pets name and paw prints, a box (that we selected and had the option to engrave) with his ashes, and they were able to give us some clippings of his fur. We also received a personalized e-card from the staff afterwards.

As bearers of good news and bad, the staff at WVG handle all situations well. Everyone in the office does amazing work and is so good at what they do, I've heard from friends that finding a good vet that you can trust is difficult and I feel lucky that I was able to find one from the start. Westminster Veterinary Group are absolutely stellar and I'd recommend them to anyone with pets (but especially those with exotics!)

Seriousness impressed and grateful for this team today. They got me in within an hours notice when my senior cat was struggling. They went above and beyond to make sure he was not stressed or alarmed or confused, and Toby ended up being so comfortable he ended up taking a nap. They were so quiet and gentle with him, he didn't even notice when he got a shot for his arthritis. We were out the door with a very affordable treatment plan within an hour, thanks to the vet, techs, and front desk!

This place deserves all 5 stars, this is an extremely caring and compassionate veterinary office, not only have they helped me care for my dogs they also specialize in exotic animals and cared for my bunnies.
During COVID they compassionately cared for my sick rabbit and allowed my husband and I both to accompany her during her euthanasia.

Now they care for my dog happy and we work on preventative care and they are awesome :)
