When I first adopted my dog 14 years ago, our vet at the time in Michigan set a very high bar. I…read morepretty much credit her with single-handedly saving my dog over the course of two years. We no longer live in that state and I have honestly never found a vet as good as she was. We have just started seeing Dr. Williamson, but after three visits, I already know that she's the best vet we've found since then. She may even be on the same level as our vet in Michigan. What sets Dr. Williamson apart -- and what reminds me of our old vet in Michigan -- is that she really cares. She never rushes an appointment. She always takes the amount of time that it takes, period. She answers all of my questions, explains things thoroughly and gives us good suggestions that are both smart and practical (because hey as much as we love our dogs, we aren't rich!). She also thinks ahead -- giving refills on meds so you don't have to bring your dog back in just to get a prescription and offering some good common sense advice in a calm, reassuring manner that makes me feel at ease. I also love that she and her staff are really thinking about how to make the vet a less terrifying place for animals, since our dogs are afraid of everything. They are currently testing "no stress" environments, avoiding using the overhead fluorescent light in favor of softer in-room lighting and even playing relaxing music. I know some people will laugh at that, but our dogs find the vet to be a really stressful experience (since bad or painful things usually happen there), and I at least really appreciate a vet that thinks about things from the dog's point of view. While the jury is still out on whether Dr. Williamson is as good as our Michigan vet, I can tell you that she is for sure our new regular vet. Best we've found in the Twin Cities. Don't let the location in a strip mall fool you -- this is an A+ vet clinic, and you should take your pets there.

Westonka Animal Hospital is simply the most pet-friendly animal clinic that we (pet owners and pets!) have ever experienced. My formerly feral kitten, now elderly cat is easily traumatized, but with your obvious expertise and incredibly gentle care, Lily actually had a positive experience and exam in your specialized cat-friendly space, thank you! I brought Lily to you many years ago when she first joined our family, and we have loved your outstanding and affordable care ever since. Over the years, I brought my other pets and even my sister's cat (!) to Westonka Animal Hospital to receive the best of care. Please know that Westonka Animal Hospital is always our first choice!

Dr. Sven and his team are one of a kind. I've been coming to them for years & would never dream of…read moregoing anywhere else. Why? You can tell they really care. No, they REALLY do. Dr. Sven blends his knowledge with a deep compassion for animals. In my case, Dr. Sven took an extra precautionary test when I brought my cat Scotch in for a dental cleaning. In this test, they found an issue with his heart. If my cat had been put under that day for his teeth cleaning without this test (which not all vets do), he would have likely died under anesthesia. Dr. Sven went the extra mile to ensure the safety of my cat & saved his life. Dr. Sven brought in a special cardiologist to help me diagnose heart disease & get my cat on the meds he needed. It gave me several more beautiful months to love him and to say goodbye. What a gift that I will always treasure. When it was time to say goodbye, their entire team was supportive and kind and provided their services with such grace. They handled my sobs with hugs and understanding. Thank you Betsy and Sabrina. I've brought my dog and cats there for routine care visits & I never feel pressured to purchase unnecessary services or products. They focus on your animal and what they need, not what they don't. This vet office has a small town feel where you will feel like family. I can't really rave enough about them. If you're looking for knowledge, personalized care and reasonable prices to boot, bring your furry friends here. One visit and you'll see what I mean.

I would absolutely recommend this office for cat veterinary care but they were not able to meet my…read moredog's needs. I have German Shepherd dogs and they didn't seem comfortable or able to properly give them the care they needed. They acted nervous and afraid to give them the care they needed and therefore my GSD didn't get the care he needed from this office. I brought my dog to Rockford Road Animal Hospital and it was a completely different experience. The vet techs and veterinarians there understood how to deal with this breed and were able to treat him and give him the care he needed. Whereas at Northwest Animal Hospital they "tried" treating him and were not able to and sent us away causing us to spend more money on additional appointments which resulted in my dog getting a delayed medical diagnosis he needed. I wouldn't recommend Northwest Animal Hospital for breeds of dogs that can be a bit more challenging. It's all about the approach and it was a day and night experience with Rockford Road Animal Hospital compared to them. I will continue bringing my cats there but I won't be bringing my dogs there again.
