Veterinarians in Somis, CA

“We have had our sweet girl for 5 years now and have never had any health issues with her (she’s now 17) until We received a call from where we board her that she was down. With the shortage of equine vets, we couldn’t get anyone out to look at her. I must have called about 10
Different vets. Our regular vet wasn’t taking emergency calls that day. Another hospital recommended West Coast Equine Hospital so we loaded her up and drove from Santa Clarita. Not knowing this vet/hospital, I was desperately texting people that have horses if they’ve ever use them before. 2 people whom I trust without a shadow of doubt, both said they saved their horses! That surely put me at ease, not knowing what we were going to be getting in to.

From the initial phone call, to the initial assessment, to the surgery she had, to the post-op care/stay, to discharge and follow-up, there has been nothing but positive things to say about the entire team!

We got her there in the nick of time! I’m a human nurse with an ER background and all went as smoothly as could be! Better than anticipated actually. She didn’t have colic from sand or anything she could’ve gotten in to, but rather she had a mechanical issue of her gut being pinched by her ribs. Total fluke.

We made the decision to move forward with surgery. They brought us up to the gallery to wait, and watch if we wanted to. They checked in on us throughout the procedure. The primary vet - Dr. Kemper and the surgeon - Dr. Sullivan, are phenomenal. The surgeon had this procedure down almost as if it was an art form! I’d have him operate on me any day! The procedure itself was absolutely beautiful and incredibly precise.

Sebastian, the physician doing his externship was lovely as well! If he stays in the area, I’d definitely consider him for our primary vet. The caring, compassion, and empathy the entire team demonstrated, was extremely appreciated. As nervous as we were about the whole situation, we knew she was in good hands and we could leave allowing her and us to rest peacefully. Oh and when you go, the facility is absolutely gorgeous! Talk about being able to heal in a place like that - amongst the Orange groves!

The incisions were impeccable! Her recovery uneventful and now my daughter has been able to gently ride her again starting just a few days ago.

Thank you will never be enough for helping and essentially saving our sweet girl! We are also now going to make West Coast her primary vet. You couldn’t ask for a better team!!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! 💕”

“I bring my dog Teddy here and I can honestly say they are so good. Every time I need my dog to get seen they fit him in. All the visits are pretty fast which I’m sure my dog loves.”
