Westover Large Animal Ltd

Westover Large Animal Ltd describes itself on its website as an independent, vet‑owned practice with a long history (dating back to 1896) and “24‑hour inpatient support.” Reviews, however, most often talk about equine care (including handling stressful visits and caring for “poorly” horses), while the website lists a wide mix of species (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, tortoises and lizards) and calls itself a “small animal hospital” — so the practice’s main focus is not presented consistently across sources.

From the evidence available, the clinic appears set up for both routine and more complex work: the website mentions advanced diagnostics and complex surgeries, and reviews specifically mention a cat spay and multiple horse cases. Owners also mention staff explaining what they will be doing during treatment, which helped reduce stress during visits.
