Western Veterinary Hospital

I cannot say enough about the wonderful staff here. I had a very scary situation with my pup and drove down from Midland to bring her here. The staff went above and beyond for my girl. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to get her out of this but the staff at Western was truly incredible. They know what they’re doing and they get it done. Beyond thankful for them and would make the drive to see them over and over.

Dr. Gary Hodges truly loves animals. He is caring. Very understanding explaining every detail. During a difficult time we had to make we are so grateful for everything he did to make us feel at peace with our decisions.

The most kind, caring and compassionate staff. High quality vet care. Dr. Hodges was the kindest vet and gave me his cell & home phone numbers to use 24 hours a day, despite the fact I was a new client. Very affordable as well. I highly recommend this office to all animal lovers.

I brought my dog Gram in thinking that we may have to put him down. I actually had it in my heart. They ran test right away. So I could see the urgency and care Gram would receive with Western Veterinary Hospital. They saved my dog. You can just tell the whole team cares. I'm glad I looked Dr. Hodges up. Thank you guys! Honest and affordable!

28 June 2024 My heart is broken. My bestest loyal love Beau passed away. The Western Vet Hospital closes at 7 pm. Beau was examined 6 pm by Dr Hodges at 6 pm. Treated with medication for hip inflammation. After bringing Beau back to the trainer’s home, Beau suddenly changed for the worse. The trainer conveyed to the office staff before closing 7 pm that same evening signs of white foamy frothy of his mouth. After the office staff communicated to Dr Hodges, the trainer was told it was due to anxiety. Beau got worse. There was NO vet doctor to take care of him. The Western Vet Hospital does NOT provide after hours services. This vet hospital is the only one in this area. My Beau passes away in the back of the trainer’s van on their way to the Western Vet Hospital the following morning that opens at 8 am. My sweet kind Beau was only 15 months old.

We were driving thru San Angelo this past Saturday and we called you because our cat Chelsie was having a hard time breathing and was in a dire situation. You said that you were going into a surgery and could not take any other patients. You gave us a number in Big Springs which led to another number which went to a voicemail. Our cat Chelsie died in my arms on highway 87 between San Angelo and Big Springs. She was aspirating and suffering. Chelsie's life may have been saved had you just allowed a life or death situation be the driving reason to stay open. I am angry at the situation and your response. You could have done much better. After you read the response from Western below, know that I have T-Mobile call logs that show I called them at 3:53 pm on Saturday Feb 14th and it was a 2 minute call. There response about not receiving a call is a straight out lie.

I had the best experience with Western veterinary. I had to board my cat the technician texted me updates, very very reasonably priced I would definitely recommend Western veterinary to everyone. Thank You to the caring staff members.
