We are very happy with WestGate Animal clinic - 100% recommended! Dr Moehlman is very knowledgeable and compassionated. Kristine is always very helpful and kind to us. The price is super affordable, especially given the level of service they provide read more

I highly recommend Westgate Animal Clinic! My family has been taking our various cats here for many many years, and we've always had a great experience. Dr. Moehlman is very kind and professional, and so incredibly sweet to her patients. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always very helpful. read more

We have been using Westgate Animal Clinic since moving to Ann Arbor in April, 2008. While Cathy Noble is our primary caretaker, at times when we've been in for routine stuff, we've seen another doctor on staff who is also excellent. Dr. Noble is amazing - she takes excellent care of our animals, and of us, and explains things in a way that actually make sense to two non-doctors. When we nearly lost our older dog when she had some significant health issues, Dr. Noble was always fair but positive and understood that we were a complete collective mess. I never felt judged while struggling with decisions or sobbing uncontrollably. Several years later, my dog is the happiest and healthiest she's ever been. I'm glad I was always presented with both thorough information and time. Besides the two doctors we've seen, the office staff and techs are freaking amazing. My younger dog is terrified of other dogs (except his older sister) and Westgate always schedules his visits so that no one else is in the waiting room. They make sure that any movement of other dogs happens while he's in the exam room, and let me get him out to the car before coming back in to pay, buy food, schedule additional visits. This small touch prevents the epic meltdowns Knuckles is known to have. They let us bring in all three (two dogs and a cat) when everyone is due for stuff. This is both highly entertaining and a yeoman's task. We are more than satisfied with Westgate and can't imagine ever going anywhere else. read more

we have been taking our various cats to Westgate animal clinic since 2008, very personal and compassionate care for both the cats and their owners through an assortment of issues. read more

Dr. Moehlman is awesome. Very informative and caring. I never leave with any questions or uncertainties about the dog. On top of that, the staff here is super friendly and professional. read more

Dr Maulman is a very knowledgeable and caring professional. My dog is 11 years old and has severe allergy problems along with some separation anxiety issues. After being ripped off by an allergy vet in Livonia, we left the care of our dog to Dr. Maulman who has been treating her successfully! Our dog is a healthy dog now! Dr Maulman charges us fairly, and never exploited us with the overwhelming charges we suffered in Livonia! After each appointment she calls a few times to check on our dog always encouraging us to call if we have any questions. We couldn't be happier with the quality of care she devotes to our beloved dog! read more

This vet clinic is amazing. Not only do they have amazing, accommodating hours, but Dr. Noble, the vet techs, and the receptionists are all amazing. I took my cat there from the time I adopted her (at ~12 weeks) to June 2014 (4 years later). Unfortunately, I had to leave Westgate because I was moving out of state. To date, I have not found a vet in my new location that is as reasonably priced and at the level of care that my cat received at Westgate. Dr. Noble was always sweet with my very skittish cat, and was able to calm her down as best as my cat would allow, given the circumstances (she's not fond of trips to the vet). She handled my cat very well and was always gentle. She answered all my questions directly and gently; she never gave me vague answers. She always spoke in a very reassuring tone to my cat during the exam process. Dr. Noble's vet tech, Jenny, was amazing with my cat and always praised her, pet her, and was gentle with her. She was also great at administering shots to my cat when she needed them. Westgate's front desk staff is amazing. Christine was very accommodating. Whenever I had to bring my cat in for an emergency, she was so flexible and willing to get me in as soon as she could. She was always so sweet to my cat, from the very first visit, to the very last. I cannot begin to describe how reassuring it was to see Christine's smiling face when I was stressed out with a given kitty emergency. She's so great with cats (especially nervous ones!) Their pricing was fairly reasonable, and Dr. Noble never forced you in to doing tests or prescribing meds that were not necessary. She only did what was needed for the well-being of the cat, and didn't try to run up your bill. She clearly cares more about the well-being of the animals, than turning a profit. I'm sad to leave Westgate, but I'm so grateful to have had them as my beloved cat's vet clinic for 4 wonderful years. read more

Fantastic service and care for our two little fur babies. I highly recommend West Gate Animal Clinic in Ann Arbor. They are gentle and careful with Taffy and Biscuit. The vet is knowledgeable and able to give our girls shots with out a wimpier from either girl. We feel very fortunate to have found such a top notch vet so close to our house. read more

We used westgate animal clinic for our 3 dogs (2 min pins and a shitzu maltese mix) for over 12 years. The only reason that we are not still using them is that we moved out of state. Overall I was very comfortable with the care that Dr. Noble and her staff provided. They always seemed to genuinely look out for our dogs welfare and also were not overly aggresive with their treatment recomendations for non routine care. I felt like there prices were very competitive and was sad to leave them when we moved. I would highly recommend there services to anyone who is looking for a vet. Charlie read more

Dr. Moehlman is amazing! My two cats and dog are long-time patients of the Westgate Animal Clinic, and I have always loved them. The staff could not be more incredible and amazing! I may have the only dog that goes bananas when he gets to go to the vet! And I love them even more since Dr. Moehlman took over (which was hard to do)! She is caring, knowledgeable, and stays up to date on all the latest research. She gives very specific and thoughtful treatment to her patients, taking all their needs into account. She listens extraordinarily well, and I always leave feeling relived and reassured. Plus, their fee is very reasonable. Thank you so much to my incredible local vet!!! read more

Our two cats have been patients here since 2006. We originally went here on the recommendation of the staff at the Huron Valley Humane Society (where we adopted our male cats). We have since stayed on because of the wonderful care that the staff has provided. Throughout healthy times, and in the rare cases when our cats were sick, the staff at this clinic has been consistently friendly and professional. It's obvious that they really care about animals - they are always very tender with our "boys." They also seem very reasonable, for example, they don't discriminate against me when I procrastinate scheduling annual checkups, etc. Now, the lobby and the office will not "wow" anybody. It's an older office. I wish they'd update it. But it's clean and has enough space in the lobby for everybody to "get along." I've also never been the only one in there at any given time. So they must have a loyal client base. Maybe that means they emphasize quality of care over marketing and expanding their client base? I was a little irritated by a previous review in which the complaints seemed to be: 1) this vet required the re-viewer's dog to get vaccines; 2) the vet put a temporary muzzle on the dog when the dog became aggressive; 3) the vet strongly encouraged the owner to have the dog neutered. Really? What else would you expect at a vet's office? It is frustrating to me when people write unfair and uninformed reviews because they were personally offended in some way. Please remember that these reviews really can affect a small business. I come from a farming family where we had trained work dogs and trained "family" dogs. So I know a fair amount about good and bad dog (and dog owner) behavior. Spaying and neutering your pet is like pet-ownership 101. Most self-respecting (and rational thinking) pet owners are not going to take seriously someone's complaints when that person refuses to neuter their pet just because they don't consider it a necessary expense. "Jenna D:" I'm really sorry to hear that your dog was ill after the shots. Feeling sick is crummy. But do you think that this is a direct reflection on this particular vet practice? Or is there a chance that this would have happened elsewhere too? As for your refusal to have your animal neutered, did you ever consider how this reflects on you? This fact on top of the fact that your dog growled at a human in your presence? What kind of impression do you think that gives a vet? Do you think it engenders trust in you and your ability to control your dog in a high stress moment, like a vet visit? How was the camping trip? You say that they muzzle was temporary and that they allowed you to remove it? Well, good for them. read more

I had my first experience at this location today, and it will be my permanent vet for both of my cats. This staff is so kind and welcoming, and Dr. Cathy is amazing with my timid little guy. I was so grateful for their care, and wish to tell others about them. They are hidden off the main road, a gem! Thanks again :) read more

Granted, this was a long time ago, but I should have written a review then. I apologize. Anyways, in January of 2007, I took my golden retriever to Westgate Animal Clinic because I thought she had kennel cough and wanted her to be seen. At the time I had VERY little money and expressed this when I took her in. The veterinarian put the stethoscope to my dog's ribs and said, "I don't hear anything." She then told me my dog's teeth were infected and she needed antibiotics and a cleaning. Then, she looked at my dog's eyes (she had droopy eyes) and decided she needed a what I would call a "cosmetic lid lift" because she thought she may be at risk for eye infections (even though by then she was 6 yrs old and had never had any eye problems). I told her I would have to think about it and she made me feel like I wasn't taking good care of my dog. I felt horrible. I went home with her after seeing the quote of over $1200 for all of that crap that she didn't need. I gave her the antibiotics for her teeth, as instructed, and it made my dog extremely sick. She couldn't keep anything down and was MISERABLE and she still had the cough! I stopped the antibiotics and took her to another local vet for a second opinion. He said she had full-blown pneumonia after listening to her lungs for about half a second. He looked at her teeth and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. He said her droopy eyes were just fine and did NOT require any surgery since she had no history of any problems. The second vet charged $35 for the exam and the steroids for the pneumonia. I strongly urge people to not take their dogs to Westgate Animal Clinic. The vet I saw there was purely looking for ways to rack up their charges. read more

Yesterday I walked in thinking I had an appointment there but it turned out I had called the wrong vet. They were sweet enough to work me and my cat Lightning into their schedule. Everyone I met was extremely nice. Including the clinic cat Mango lol who followed into the room. The difference between Westgate and AAAH which I'd used in the past is so incredible. They petted my cat, and talked to us like people not just another transaction. They gave me an estimate which I appreciated and their prices are very reasonable. And when my cat came back after getting his blood drawn he came back purring and making muffins in the blanket. All in all, we will be back! And will recommend Dr. Andrea and staff any day! Thank you girls for helping my Lightning and me. read more

The staff at Westgate is wonderful. We moved to Ann Arbor with a cat who was starting to get old and had some low-level health challenges; as he aged they helped us make informed decisions that balanced his comfort with medical intervention. Our little guy lived to the ripe old age of 18 and died comfortably after getting a kiss on his head from his favorite receptionist at Westgate. Westgate is caring, thoughtful about its recommendations, and truly helpful in thinking through pet care problems. We will use them for all our pets, always. read more

My cat had surgery here and I will definitely be returning for all his future healthcare needs. The staff was extremely friendly to me and my cat, and they really seemed passionate about their jobs. They provided all the resources to help with my kitten's recovery and were extremely thorough and forthcoming with any extra concerns I had. I had previously been taking my cat to the Humane Society of Huron Valley's clinic and Westgate is SO much better. HSHV has a bunch of cranky lazy volunteers up front and their vet charges you $30 on top of any medical costs for a "brief exam," which means weighing your pet and looking in its ears. read more

I've had a great experience at Westgate Animal Clinic. I've found it to be affordable, the staff and doctors are very thorough and caring, the clinic is clean, and they have state-of-the-art equipment. I've worked in a veterinary clinic, so I should know. read more

*I have always felt that they way overloaded with "he needs xyz". *That is exactly I feel each time when I brought my dog in for a annual check-up. read more

I have been taking my cats here for over 10 years. Dr.Noble and her staff are great. They never push things I don't need, and they genuinely care. The whole team is like family, and I wouldn't take my cats anywhere else! read more

My cat needed to get a simple grooming (he's a long-haired cat and from time-to-time, we need to groom his back end). I called Friday and was told that I could bring him in Sat between 9-12 but to also call before I showed up. On Sat, I called at 10:45 and they said to bring him in at 11. I got in at 11 and they told me that I'd have to wait - even upwards of 30 minutes; and their afternoon was booked. Was outrageous that in a 15 min time period, their scheduling had changed so much (they never indicated that an emergency had come in) that not only were they unable to see me at 11 - but it was "very possible" I'd have to wait more than 30 minutes because the techs who would do the grooming were otherwise busy. I understand emergencies or unforessen circumstances can arise but that wasn't the case here - I am sure they were pushing me to the back of the line because I wasn't getting any other vet services (grooming is a $15 job). Just as one of the other reviewers said, I have always felt that they way overloaded with "he needs xyz". My cat is an indoor cat and yet, they always seem to find something wrong with him and want to give shots and medications that always left me with the nagging feeling that they were padding their own pockets. I will never go back and am finding another vet. read more

Please do not bring your pets here! I had such a horrible experience! I had just bought a 10 week old kitten, and she got so sick. I brought her to Westgate, and they told me that she had congenital kidney failure, but "don't worry because it's not your fault." They offered to put her down for me right there, on the spot (!!!), admit her to the animal hospital for observation over the weekend (because they weren't open), or let me take her home and try to get her to eat and drink something, as a last ditch effort. Being short on funds and not willing to give up on my baby siamese just yet, I opted to take her home and try to coerce her to eat and drink. Well, Polly just needed a little prompting, and 4 years later she is happy, healthy, and has perfectly functioning kidneys. Why was putting Polly down the first option they gave me, while simply trying to get her to eat and drink was the last ditch effort???? I was so unhappy with the treatment Polly and I received that I now take my cats across town to the Ann Arbor Cat Clinic. They're wonderful! read more

I brought my dog in for a teeth cleaning. From the time he was a puppy the vet said she didn't like the way my dog's front teeth looked and she wanted to pull them - no further reason given. I thought my dog's teeth were adorable and I loved to see him smile, and I told her this every time she would bring it up. After years of laying on the guilt that I was a bad pet parent because I wasn't getting my dog's teeth cleaned, I gave in, and I repeated that she should not pull out his teeth simply because she didn't like the way they looked. I signed the forms, left my dog, and when I went to pick him up he had no front teeth. No front teeth. No more cute smile. I was devastated, crushed, heart-broken, and I asked - why??? And I was told by front desk people that there was certainly some good reason, but nothing was written in his chart. So I asked to speak with the vet. But she was too busy to talk to me. read more

I had 2 horrid experiences with this vet clinic. (I should have left after the first problem, but was too lazy to research out another vet). And my neighbor (we live close to this clinic, so a lot of people in our neighborhood used to go here) thinks that a misdiagnosis from this vet caused her pet's death. Anyway, they tack on a bunch of extra fees and unnecessary procedures and run the bill up to ridiculous levels. My cat needed 3 stitches on his shoulder. By the time they were finished, the cost was over $300 - and the audacity of the charges they put onto the bill stunned me. Worse, they took 2 days to do the stitches (his injury was not that big of a deal, and the work probably took them 10 minutes). Since I was too new in town to be able to go anywhere else quickly, I suffered with this service for that occasion. But I did complain later, and the vet, who was rude beyond description, hung up on me. read more
