Healthy Pets Of Westgate

I have been taking all of our pets here since we moved to Westgate in early 2008. When we had to have our 21 yr old cat put down, they were so kind. Now we have just our 2 aging dogs and they are having more medical issues. Dr Queler and his staff are wonderful with the animals — always giving them affectionate attention. It is never easy to have a sick pet, so I am grateful to have this practice nearby when my pets need medical care. I highly recommend them.

I needed to both a vet and have my miniature schnauzer’s ears cropped. I researched as many local vets as possible before deciding on Healthy Pets of Westgate. I took my pup there and was greeted in a very nice way, I then spoke to the vet tech Jim who was informative, knowledgable and answered all my questions and concerns. He was reassuring and confident in the service to be provided. After the surgery, I was not disappointed in the ear crop Dr. Cueler preformed and was even more pleased when he exercised patience and took the time to explain the effort he and his staff put into the preparation for surgery and recovery. I am very please to highly recommend these folks to anyone considering a professional veterinarian service.

I have only had two visits to this vet office thus far, but I am already impressed enough to continue coming back. I took my dog here about a year and a half ago, as he had escaped and was loose out in the world for 3 days (an awful experience!) and I wanted to get him checked out. I met Dr. Queler, who was very nice and understanding. He has a great sense of humor and seems to have a real affection for the animals he treats. I really like that their office doesn’t push any unnecessary procedures or products, they simply provide what is needed and best for your pet. They send you reminders by email about your upcoming appointment, as well as a monthly newsletter. Their prices for my dog’s yearly vaccinations and wellness visit were pretty standard and not too high. Also, they offer grooming services, which are very affordable. A nail trim is only $ 15! When you have a dog that views a nail trim as a form of torture, it’s definitely worth the cost.
If you are looking for an affordable and friendly veterinary practice, this is it!

We started taking our pets to Dr. Queler on the basis of a recommendation from a neighbor when we moved into the area more than ten years ago. In the past, I had always viewed a vet as a utility, thinking they were all more or less the same. I no longer feel that way. Dr. Queler impressed me with his knowledge, his ability to explain things in terms that I could understand, and his obvious affection for animals. He also has a good sense of humor. I will never forget the time I asked him if my young boxer mix, who at the time had the very irritating habit of breaking through our screen door, if it might be because he was near-​sighted. The doctor jokingly said, «No, it’s more likely that he’s just stupid.» He said it as a joke, but to some degree, well, it has proven to be somewhat true.
We recently had to have our oldest dog euthanized. This was a dog that Dr. Queler obviously considered to be a personal canine friend. This kind of thing is very difficult for everyone involved, including the doctor. He handled it with the utmost professionalism and empathy for our emotional needs. Just as we were laying Hogarth down for the last time, some kids were making a bit of noise out in the waiting room. I didn’t really notice it, but the doctor did; he quietly asked one of his techs to go out and explain what was happening in the exam room. I have seldom been prouder to be associated with a medical professional. A few days later we received a hand-​written note from the doctor sharing his condolences. Included was not one but two nice memorial cards, each having a paw print from our friend Hogarth. He sent two because he knew our daughter no longer lived with us and would want one for herself.
I heartily recommend Dr. Queler.

We’ve been taking our dogs here for years, great vet!
