So, at 16 we had to make the hard choice to give our pup the best possible send-off as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. When we came for care we knew we would probably be making that decision in the near future, but didn't realize it would be so soon. The staff and doctors at Westchase were awesome. Dr. Espinoza spent quality time with us and discussed options for care at Angus' stage of life. She gave us sound options and advice. When we eventually had to make our decision, everyone was so kind to us. This is not the first time we have had to send off a loved pet, but it was probably one of the best experiences we have had with the process. I can't begin to express how grateful we were for the compassion we were shown during our time of grief. We would definitely recommend Westchase Veterinary.

If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. My experience felt like a complete bait-and-switch…read more They use the word "emergency" while recommending one expensive test after another. When I repeatedly questioned whether all the proposed lab work was truly necessary, the veterinarian finally admitted that several tests were not necessary at that point and could wait. If I had not challenged the recommendations, would I have been charged for lab work my pet did not immediately need? I then asked to speak with the owner, who is also a veterinarian. Instead of addressing my concerns, she told me that the clinic has to make money to pay its overhead. I was stunned. I asked her directly whether that meant they take advantage of trusting customers who bring in their beloved family pets by recommending services that are not immediately necessary. She had no response. I also heard that the practice is moving into a larger facility. After being told that customers' money is needed to cover the clinic's overhead, I cannot help but question whether aggressive testing and excessive charges are helping finance that expansion!!!!! That is my personal concern based on what I experienced and what the owner said directly to me!! Veterinary recommendations should be based on what an animal medically needs--not on a clinic's overhead or expansion plans. Pet owners are frightened and vulnerable during an emergency, and they deserve honesty, transparency, and informed consent. I left feeling misled, taken advantage of, and unable to trust their recommendations. I will never return. Demand an itemized estimate, ask whether every test is immediately necessary, and consider getting a second opinion. Based on my experience, go here at your own financial risk!!!

The corporate owners of Country Chase VH have added insult to injury! If I had known CCVH was…read morecorporately owned, I would never have gone there. Don't be fooled, they are heartless. Sorry about the lengthy details. Names have been redacted. Yesterday, I requested a refill of pain medication for my 15.5 year old dog (Shadow) and the office rejected it. I called them, and they said that since I had filed a complaint with the state they would not approve the refill, would immediately e-mail my records, and they would no longer take care of Shadow. This was 2 months after I filed a complaint (about the euthenasia of my other dog) and met with the office manager. I told them I was filing a complaint, but wanted a different vet to continue to care for Shadow. They did not say "this will be your last prescription", or give me time to find a new vet... no nothing. Now, 2 months later, I have an old dog, in pain, and have to wait 3 weeks for an appointment with a new vet, new exams, etc,... But CCVH doesn't care! I was not going to make this public. But, they twisted the knife they had already stabbed me with. This was the original complaint: I had made the difficult decision to put my beloved Apache down (in what was supposed to be a humane manner) on 12/11/2025, and wanted to be by her side as she was always by mine. The procedure was described to me by the assistant as "there will be 2 injections, one to sedate her and one to stop her heart" and that both would be done in my presence. My dog was very attached to me, and I wanted to be with her, and for her to KNOW I was there for her! The assistant told me that she was going to simply place a catheter in Apache and bring her right back to me, and that then I could spend as much time as I needed to say my goodbyes before the procedure was done. Apache went willingly with the assistant and was not exhibiting any signs of distress. Shortly after, the assistant returned and Apache collapsed at the doorway. She proceeded to push/carry Apache towards the bed, where Apache collapsed into a deep coma... eyes rolled up, tongue out, barely breathing (if at all). She quickly said "we sedated her" and "to push the button when I was ready". Apache was unresponsive and certainly not aware of where she was or that I was there for her (the thing I had wanted most in the world). I was stunned and confused at having been deceived. This was most certainly NOT what I had wanted, or been told would happen! I was able to lift her eyelid, to see if she would acknowledge me... but, there was no reaction. In horrified shock, I quickly pushed the button. As the vet and assistant returned, I said "she's not there" to which the vet coldly responded "Oh, she's there". So,... I was expected to say my good byes to basically a corpse?!? I quickly asked for them to do the procedure, as now it appeared to me that Apache was struggling to live and this was inhumane and torture. I then watched as the vet proceeded to re-sedate a comatose dog (a ridiculous step, as Apache was already unconscious and completely unresponsive) and then administer the final injection. I have relived this procedure many times in the middle of the night, and have not slept well since. I filed a complaint with the office manager, and asked what happened? I was told that the vet felt Apache was too anxious, because she was "panting", and decided to "sedate" her without my permission or approval. I was in the next room for God's sake! I should have been told. If Apache did start panting back there, it was only because she was weak and old, and she found herself alone, with strangers doing something to her, and her daddy was nowhere in sight. EXACTLY WHAT I DID NOT WANT! WHAT I HAD WANTED MOST IN THE WORLD WAS TO BE BY HER SIDE, AND FOR HER TO KNOW I WAS THERE! That was cruelly taken from me, and can never be replaced. Apache's trust in me had been broken, and my trust in humanity has been shattered. This was not a humane, dignified death. This was cold, cruel, callous, AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT COMPASSIONATE.

It seems like all this hospital cares about is overcharging and deceiving their customers. The front staff/ veterinarians are mostly very rude and lack compassion for animals and owners. I have had issues in the past with certain veterinarians at this practice adding charges to my bill for services that were not provided. The worst experience I have had yet is when my cat was injured and urinating blood after they performed a urinalysis on her. I noticed this in the exam room and they tried to play it off as if they did nothing wrong and that she was urinating blood due to stress. Even though I was very nervous and crying they seemed to have no compassion and acted annoyed at my reaction. They claimed they could not get the sample due to my pet urinating prematurely when it seems as though they were lying and discarded the sample due to the blood in the urine. They then kept her for a second urinalysis and charged us an additional fee for fluids. It turns out the veterinarian injured my cat during the procedure by puncturing a blood vessel in her bladder. They refused to refund us for the procedure and the fluids even though it was due to their error. I had to take her to a different vet to make sure she was OK. We called later to ask for a refund and the manager was very rude and although he offered a refund, he had the audacity to accuse me of being difficult and told me to transfer her to a different pet hospital even though we mentioned to them multiple times we will never bring her back. Thank goodness she is OK but no one should ever trust this practice with their pet's well being

This is not the first time this has happened to us with them, as a matter of fact check out other reviews that say the same thing. They have a reputation around the town of how expensive they are, and they know how much people love their fur babies and will do anything to get them well. While the care is good, there is better out there. I did not cuss at anyone. It's also very unprofessional to block clients from calling your practice to receive the pet records for another vet.
