West Boulevard Veterinary Clinic

Avoid at all costs! The receptionist and support staffs were friendly, but the vets were incredibly rude and stuck up. I’ve never met such arrogant and condescending people… and I had to pay to bask in their smug.

Janne, Sarah, Karen and all the staff at WBVC are awesome. Have been taking our dogs, cats, and rabbits there for years. When we finally had to put down our very old dogs they were so compassionate and caring and made such a difficult time just a little bit easier. During exams they always take the time to explain everything and answer all your questions, which is reassuring when your loved one is not well. I definitely can’t recommend them enough.

My old lab was given a new lease on life by having regular acupuncture treatments with Janne Potter. Not only was she able to walk more freely, but I noticed her mischievous joie de vivre return. She is now over 16 and although she is somewhat limited by her old age, she is still enjoying her walks and socializing.

If you need a Veterinarian, see Janne Potter. Dr. Potter is in my opinion a sweetheart who genuinely cares for the wellbeing of animals. I brought my dog in after being referred here and I wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision or not because it didn’t have rave reviews unlike other places in Van. Dr. Potter saw me immediately after I arrived (and no one noted that I was 5 minutes late) and she was very nice to my puppy. I have been to other places where the vet treated my dog like a number that he/​she could make quick money out of. Dr. Potter and her nurse gave my dog tasty treats and patted him to make him relaxed and happy. In fact my dog really liked her! If this place had boarding/​day care I would without doubt trust them!
The clinic is very beautiful and clean which was reassuring to me that they are very hygenic.
My dog had retained baby teeth and she didn’t urge me to do the surgery right away. Even though we came just for the purpose of discussing about teeth, she did extra examinations and her great bedside manners proved to me she was very professional.
She tried to convince us on buying the science diet foods available in the vet’s office but wasn’t so pushy. I can understand that is biased since she does sell those products herself, its not necessary the best choice for them.
The consultation fee is $ 68. I was just a little but dissappointed they don’t do simple grooming services for free (like nail trimming) Other vets I have been to offer this. If they had this I would give 5 stars. Overall, great place! I CANNOT WAIT TO BE BACK.
