West Lynn Veterinary Clinic

4.7(210)✓ Google-verified

West Lynn has earned strong loyalty over decades by treating pets and owners as partners in care. Recent reviews highlight Dr. Ashbaugh, Dr. Whitworth, Dr. Noorani, and staff who explain complex conditions, answer questions promptly, and prioritize anxious or senior pets. The clinic schedules appointments via text, keeps records across multiple visits, and staff remember animals by name over years of care. One recent complaint about prescription refusals stands apart from the otherwise consistent praise. Fear Free certified, they offer wellness exams, preventative medicine, dental work, spay and neuter, soft tissue surgery, in-house lab, and pharmacy on site. Clients note that when medications are available elsewhere, staff help find cost-effective options. The team responds quickly to urgent situations and seniors needing ongoing quality-of-life support.
