Today we are featuring our receptionist, Sue.
Sue has been working at West Lake Animal Hospital for 14 years now starting in July 2010.
Her favorite part of her job is getting to know the pets and their owners.
If she could be any animal, she would be a Golden Retriever because they are adorable, sweet, and friendly!
Make sure you say "Hi" to Sue the next time you see her in the office!

Feeling anxious about your pet's upcoming surgery? You're not alone! Our own staff feels the same way! Here are some tips to help ease your nerves:

Open Communication - Talk to your vet about any concerns, no matter how small. They're happy to explain the procedure and answer your questions!

Pre-Surgery Prep - Follow the vet's instructions for fasting and medication. This ensures your pet is in optimal health for surgery.

Positive Reinforcement - Just like Grace, offer your pet lots of love and reassurance!

Remember, your pet's well-being is our top priority! ❤️🐾

Horrible accident on Dirksen in front of the hospital. Dirksen is blocked off to the North and South of the hospital. At this time, you should be able to get through if you enter the DMV parking lot through Adloff and exit onto Dirksen. Our thoughts are with those affected by this accident.

Update: you can now get through the Crowne Plaza parking lot, there is an area with no fencing that leads into the Red Lobster parking lot.

Update 2: the roads are now open
