Shocked at how amazing this place is. 1000% recommend. Getting animals in somewhere emergently is usually extremely expensive and time consuming, that’s not the case here. We were in and out quickly and pricing was very reasonable. The vet tech and doctor was so nice as well!!!

Thankyou ,Acute Pet WestChester Vet- Urgent Care, for helping us on Thursday July 3rd evening with our precious dog Lilly, who was 15yrs,and very sick with Kidney Failure. We both were heart broken, with our baby being so sick and needed to help her .You had a room ready when we arrived, and was all so compassionate. We are both in our late 60’s and it was one of the hardest decisions to make. After the kind Doctor explained Lillys condition,it helped us to be more at peace. We got to spend time with our Lilly ,before we said goodby,and the Dr. and other staff gave us all of the quality time we needed. They where just so kind ,and gentle towards us, that we can’t express our gratitude. We Highly recommend Acute Pet WestChester if you have a emergency with a Beloved Pet.Thankyou to the Staff again.We appreciate your compassion .and professionalism.

Dr. Brunson and the vet tech Taylor were amazing! I had to bring my puppy in due to nonstop vomiting, amongst a few other issues. Both of them were very helpful and answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. You can tell they’re very passionate about what they do. I highly recommend this place. Your pet will be in great hands!

Unfortunately our dog took a turn and the team at AcutePet was unbelievable! Right before they closed they were able to help us out so our dog of 13 years was not struggling anymore and they were great throughout the entire process. Thank you to everyone at AcutePet West Chester and I would highly recommend this team to anyone!

We took our new Labrador puppy Sonny there yesterday. We were taken care of by a really nice tech and veterinarian. They were informative, great with Sonny, and answered all our questions. Sonny is now doing so much better. Hopefully, we won’t need ER services for him again, but if we do, it’ll definitely be here, they were great.

I was very impressed with AcutePet — it was our first time taking our dog Griffin to this facility. The care and compassion was top notch and did not go unnoticed. During the exam, they take their time to really listen and gather all the facts to establish a plan of care. They are upfront about the potential cost for the care. We were pleased with the visit and the plan moving forward. Leaving our appointment we learned that our pup was pretty sick and needed additional, specialized care. Our dog had a complicated history and unfortunately we had to make the tough decision to make him more at peace/comfortable. We took him home for one more night and brought him back to AcutePet the following day to say our last goodbyes and again, what a compassionate group. They walked us through each step of the process and spoke and loved on Griffin like he was on of their own. I can’t thank the AcutePet team at Beavercreek for helping us through a very difficult time. I would recommend AcutePet to our family and friends! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care for our sweet Griffin!
