Dr. Canales is the best! Our dog has a lot of allergy issues, and they always remember and accommodate her needs. Highly recommended for anyone with pets in the area!

My experience with WCV has always been the best possible. Caring for my two dogs and their cat brother are Dr Farber and Dr Gayer. I trust and recommend WCV

I want to share my heartbreaking experience to ensure other pet parents are fully informed. My beloved cat, Oreo, had diabetes. Before starting the medication Bexacat, her health was stable: ketone levels were normal, and she had no diarrhea. After starting the medication, Oreo's health rapidly deteriorated. She became lethargic and developed severe diarrhea. While my vet was aware and prescribed anti-diarrhea medication, I was never given a printed sheet explaining the potential side effects of Bexacat, which I later learned is a relatively new drug. Had I been aware of the risks, I would not have given it to her. The decline was severe. Her ketone levels rose, and her potassium dropped dangerously low. When I took her to the ER, I was told her levels made it too dangerous to administer insulin. Due to how sick she had become, I had to make the tragic decision to put Oreo to sleep. I am devastated and traumatized by this. I feel this situation could have been prevented if proper information had been provided. According to the FDA, veterinarians should give pet owners an information sheet on potential side effects. Please, pet parents: thoroughly research all new medications and consider seeking a second opinion before starting any new treatment for your pet.

WCV are hands down the best vet experience I have ever had. Not only is everyone respectful and helpful, but they are all very kind and make me feel like I brought my dog to the right place. And we have had some scares in the past couple of years and they have helped us through each one. Now that our dog will require long term care, I cannot imagine another taking her any where else. Thank you WCV! And the doctors, who are all super knowledgable, and also personable and make even big issues feel manageable. Thank you!!
