Westgate Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Drogheda
Clinic Overview
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).

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Jasone and Westgate Veterinary for their incredible compassion and care for my 10-week-old kitten who was fighting panleukopenia. Dr. Jasone went above and beyond, she even took him home to care for him outside of her working hours. That showed me this clinic is not about profit, but about genuine love for animals and true empathy for their owners. Although my kitten sadly didn’t make it, I’ll always be grateful for the kindness, honesty, and dedication Dr. Jasone showed. I trust this clinic completely and highly recommend them to anyone who wants their pet to be treated with real care and heart. ❤️

Could not recommend this practice enough. Had attended for over 10 years with beloved pet. I inherited a pup that led us to another practice. I'm so glad I returned to westgate. Recent engagement has confirmed my faith in the practice. Super supportive couldn't do enough for my poorly pet.

Cannot thank them enough, we lost our Cody last June, he went from up and walking to not being able to stand, the vets came out late at night so that he didn’t have to suffer thru the night. I have had dogs with them since 2004 and never had an issue. Your babies are safe with Westgate.

We are really happy that we chose this clinic when we adopted Prince , everyone knows and interacts with him when he has appointment he doesn't like going in to any building that is not his home but he build confidence to visit every two weeks when we collecting his food and now even when we going for check up he is not scared like he use to be and this is crucial because when we got him he wouldn't go near any human and now everyone is his friend , last year he had his tooth removed and we were instructed exactly what to do after and it was just before Christmas they were fully booked but they found time for him they checked everything before the procedure so he can get the best treatment , everyone might have a different experience but we are very happy and the most important Prince is calm now when he's going for his check up . Thank you for looking after Prince 🐾😊
