Western Branch Veterinary Hospital
Anyone who has ever loved a pet understands how that love is returned to them one-hundred-fold. How the simple act of opening your home and welcoming a four legged friend is really about opening your heart and baring your soul. Pet parents recognize that the loyalty, affection and dedication our animal family members provide is well worth the sacrifices we make for them.

Because like you, we are pet owners too. Each one of us knows the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, and the pure enrichment that sharing your life with a companion animal can bring. That's why treating your loved one as if he or she were our very own just comes naturally to us.
Services
Western Branch Veterinary Hospital got its humble beginnings in 1997 in a modest rental home. Over the years, we've built up our practice to become the state of the art animal health care facility it is today, offering a full array of comprehensive services, cutting edge treatment options, modern equipment and all the space and amenities needed to provide our patients with exceptional care.
What does it take to keep a companion animal happy and healthy? Well, beyond the basics, like food, water and shelter, it takes a partnership and a commitment. It takes a team of skilled veterinary professionals and loving pet parents working together toward a common goal. It takes exceptional medicine, modern treatment options and a well-designed system of care.
We're proud to offer state-of-the-art medical facilities and a warm, safe and welcoming environment that is designed to provide your pet with very the best available veterinary care. We invite you to take a virtual tour and get to know our facilities and we hope that you'll decide to join us as a part of our extended family!
We want to hear from you! Our goal is to consistently deliver the best available patient care and exceptional client service, and your valuable feedback helps us to both achieve that goal and to communicate the value of our services to others. Please also consider leaving feedback about your experience here so that others may learn more about the quality of our care.
At Western Branch Veterinary Hospital, we are an exceptional team of compassionate, patient-focused, hard-working and fun loving individuals! Our clinic atmosphere is more like a family than a workplace, although we are certainly passionate about the work that we do! What's it like to be a part of our team?

Covid precautions were securely in place when we took our dog to get her nails groomed. The waiting time from the time we arrived to the time they took her in was prompt and efficient. Thank you!

Doctor and staff are awesome. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is they are still operating under covid restrictions so you cannot go inside with your pet. It's been over a year now. Everyone, everywhere is open except them. Kind of frustrating but manageable.

They are very good, especially Dr. Porter. Hard to get appointments at times. Have mail order prescriptions that save you $.

First time going and they were extremely helpful and made the process very easy. I love the customer service and I was in and out very quickly with my cat as a new patient.

I’ve been taking my pets here for years but since COVID you can’t reach the office unless you call 10 times. Since VA has opened up and loosened most all restrictions this vet clinic still makes you wait in your car and comes to the car in head to toe PPE. I can understand in the beginning but VA is open and I will no longer sit in my car for an hour or more while my dog is inside. Many people I know that have used this vet are switching for this same reason.

Loved it, as usual. Dr. Porter is the greatest. Our little Abby is going to be ok. Hoping we won't have to have her operated on. She's so sweet. The staff is awesome. They all love animals.

The staff is so nice! Dr. Porter was so kind when we had to put our dog down. He made sure we knew all of our options. Dr. Hurley has also been great with all of our animals too! We are so glad we have a place that treats our family so good!

LOVE this vet’s office! Newish to the area and decided to go here after reading reviews and considering the close distance to my home. My dog had his first visit and I could not have been happier with the experience today. I wasn’t able to go in because of COVID, which is perfectly fine, but I felt very comfortable and that my dog was in good… hands. I was extremely impressed with ALL of the staff I encountered. Everyone was so professional, friendly and personable. The prices are also very fair. I paid over $100 more for a very similar visit at my previous vet’s office

Dr Porter and his staff have been taking care of my dogs for 25 years. Your pets are family and you want the best for them. And his office staff become family as soon as you step thru the front door. 😍

I came here a couple of months ago with my cat bubbles and the service I received was incredibly upsetting. My cat who is the chillest animal ever was really sick and physically distraught from the moment the tried to pull him out of his carrier, they refused to let me touch him even when it was very clear the only person he for sure wouldn’t harm… was me. At one point he freaked out and scratched someone helping, when she left another girl returned with a towel they refused to let me touch him again and just covered his whole face with the towel basically sitting on him to try to

Moved from the West Coast out here a couple of years ago. We were worried about finding a great vet here. After we had our first visit, Western Branch Vet Hosp is our go to. Staff is friendly and they give TLC to our fur babies. They are not over priced and give caring service. Highly recommended.

Dr. Porter has taken care of our dogs since he opened. He is the best. When we lost our Irish Setter this past summer, he wrote us a very sweet note. Highly recommend!!

Brought our service dog in because he had a bump on his shoulder. They did a full exam and found an ear infection that the last place wouldn't take the time to look because he didn't sit still; Western Branch… was awesome in handling him being scared. They gave us an estimate before doing anything and the price was less than we expected. All of the staff were incredibly nice and gave my pup quality care. Definitely going back for any future care.
