About us
Westwood Pet Care has been established for 24+ years. As a women and veteran-owned business, work-life balance is important to us. We even have a kids’ playroom in the clinic for when children need to come to work with their parents, and we believe in flexible hours and scheduling.
We have a cohesive and collaborative team that isn’t afraid to get dirty but also likes to have fun with team-building games and activities. Clients comment on and appreciate how attentive our staff is and how they know their pets so well and pick up on their quirks and likes.
Our clients are the cream of the crop and are always a pleasure to serve. Most new clients turn into lifelong clients who love us, and we love their pets and stories. We have a very high compliance rate that allows us to practice medicine the way it should be.
Our lead doctor, Dr Amanda Joki, has a passion for mentorship. She loves helping new grads gain their feet and confidence and also works with pre-vet students and tech students to gain experience in their fields.
This is a great veterinary office! No crowded waiting room, no long waits. They donβt double or triple book their time slots, apparently. They gave a fair estimate for a surgical procedure, and came in near the bottom of the range for the actual bill. Dr. Joki and staff donβt mind a crazy, jumping 48-pound large breed puppy. I look forward to many years of care for my girl. Thanks! – Natalia S – Google Review
