## Summary Westgate Veterinary Clinic is an independently founded practice (established in 1986 by William Burgess and John Russell) that treats both small animals and large/farm animals, and states it provides 24/7 care. Recent reviews give concrete examples of that around-the-clock support, including vets coming out late at night so a dog “didn’t have to suffer thru the night,” and a case where a vet (Dr. Jasone) took a critically ill 10‑week‑old kitten home to continue care outside working hours. Owners also describe the team fitting in procedures despite being fully booked (a tooth removal before Christmas), and helping pets avoid repeat surgery (a digestive issue where a second surgery wasn’t needed). ## Services - **24/7 veterinary care** for **small and large animals** (clinic statement). - **Farm/large-animal work** alongside pet care (clinic statement). - **Surgery** mentioned in reviews, including: - A cat operation described as potentially fatal, with recovery reported as positive. - A dog treated for a digestive issue where a second surgery was avoided. - **Dental procedure:** tooth removal, with pre-procedure checks and clear aftercare instructions (owner report). - **Infectious disease/critical care support:** treatment attempts for a kitten with panleukopenia (owner report). - **Out-of-hours visit/call-out** described by an owner (late-night attendance). ## People - **Dr. Jasone (vet)** — praised for hands-on support during a panleukopenia case in a young kitten, including taking the kitten home to continue care beyond working hours; the owner also highlights “kindness” and “honesty.” - **John (described as “senior vet”)** — repeatedly thanked in reviews for outcomes after surgery/illness, including a digestive-issue case where a second surgery wasn’t needed. - **Sofia and Sarah** — named by an owner as part of the team handling a serious post-op case for a cat. - **William Burgess and John Russell** — credited on the clinic site as the founders (1986). ## Reviews **4.7 stars from 392 reviews.** Feedback in the latest reviews focuses on urgent support, surgical outcomes, and staff involvement during stressful cases. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - **Out-of-hours help when it matters:** one owner describes vets coming out late at night so their dog wouldn’t suffer through the night. - **Going beyond standard care during critical illness:** a review describes Dr. Jasone taking a sick kitten home for continued care outside work hours (the kitten did not survive, but the owner emphasised compassion and honesty). - **Surgery and recovery experiences:** owners mention a potentially fatal cat operation with good recovery, a digestive issue managed without needing a second surgery, and a dental tooth extraction with clear aftercare instructions. - **Making time despite full appointment books:** one owner reports being fit in for a procedure shortly before Christmas even when the clinic was fully booked. - **Helping nervous pets cope with visits:** an owner describes a previously fearful dog building confidence over regular visits, becoming calmer for check-ups.
