Westmoor Vets – Vets in Tavistock
Clinic Overview
- Many reviewers describe being seen quickly for unexpected problems, especially while visiting the area, and say pets were sorted out promptly. - Friendly, reassuring service is a recurring theme, with reception staff and vets both mentioned positively. - Owners also highlight calm handling of nervous pets, including one shy cat that was unusually relaxed in the consulting room.
Services
- •Routine and preventive care: consultations for illness and ongoing health needs, vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping, neutering, dentistry, and nurse clinics including blood pressure checks, six-month health checks, grooming and nail clipping, and anal sac expression. Recent feedback includes a pet completing a full vaccination course and enjoying visits.
- •Urgent and emergency support: pets are often fitted in quickly for sudden problems during opening hours, including dogs taken ill while owners were staying locally and a dog seen for a poorly ear.
