    I cannot even begin to express how great this company is. I have visited on two different occasions with two different cats. They are completely wonderful and friendly, not to mention very budget friendly. I will continue to visit them for all our pet needs and recommend them to anyone looking for great inexpensive care. Thank you from our family to yours!! Roxi says you treated her purrr-fectly!!

    We have two chubby indoor cats. Both were adult cat shelter adoptions several years ago. They never go out. They are in good health, besides their chub. But they seem to handle that well enough. So we haven't brought them to a vet in several years, since they are generally healthy and happy. And then ... my husband and daughter drove by a 'FREE KITTENS' sign. And everything changed! We recently introduced a little maniac to our feline brood! But before co-mingling everyone, we thought it best to bring them all to the vet. Plus the kitten was going to need regular vet attention, at least until after she's fixed. My parents have brought their dogs to West Side Pet Clinic for many years, and rave about the affordable prices, and kind vets and staff. Even though there are many choices closer to our home, we decided to go with West Side Pet Clinic based on my parents exceptional experience with them. We actually drove my mom and her diabetic dog to an appointment recently, and were able to make our first appointment for our cats directly with the staff then, in person. One big challenge with West Side Pet Clinic--getting through on the phone or an email can be difficult. I am docking a star for that reason. Had we not been there in person, I'm not sure if we would have ever got in, since they never returned any of my phone or email messages. But once you are in, it is great! Our first appointment was just after they loosened some COVID restrictions, and we were able to go in masked, with all three of our felines. Parking is easy, there is a decent sized lot. The clinic is clean, and the room they put our pack in was spacious for three cats, me and my daughter, and the vet and assistant. The vet was very kind, took his time examining each cat, patiently answered all of our questions, and made sure we were clear on next steps. Our cats were very comfortable with this whole experience. Our chubby oldies got updated on their shots, and nails trimmed. Our kitten got her first round of shots too, and has been back for another appointment since then for her next shots. She goes back again in about a month for more shots, and will get fixed at about five months old, which is later this fall. Prices were more affordable than what we have experienced with vets in the past. An appointment with an exam, shots, flea treatment, and a nail trim at our previous vets would have ran over $125+ per cat. Our first visit with all three cats was under $300. We are happy with the value and the quality of care that our cats are receiving at West Side Pet Clinic, and are glad that our crazy kitten is in good hands! :-D

    I took a cat here who has a peeing problem. She peed everywhere in the waiting room. Which is how the place got its name: "Wet Side Pet Clinic." Or was it "West Side Wet Clinic." Either way. Pee aplenty. This place is a real godsend for people with pets. They will basically check out your pet for free, depending on circumstances. Which other place will do that? So if you're poor and have some fur angels that you want to get checked out, this is the place to come. They're really nice people and will refer you to other vets and surgeons and affordable places if serious stuff is needed. Some of the friendliest people I've dealt with and my little pregnant orange furry girl Starlight really liked them. My friend Joe works here and I didn't even know that before I came here. He's a real sweetheart and congratulations to him on just getting married to a beautiful Yelp girl. I let dominatrix girls (and boys) use a whip on me, but only the left hand portion of my torso. So my right side is scar-free, and my left is covered in scars, because it's my Whip Side. That's how this place got its name actually. "Whip Side Pet Clinic." Kinky b**tards. I think it's amazing that there's a nearly-or-almost free pet clinic. If more people were aware of this place, they'd probably be way more busy. And if you're not sure whether your left side or right side is sexier for your instagram-and-snapchat #SELFIEs, then go to the "Which Side Pet Clinic" and they will tell you.

    Long-time client. Lost my cat today. Read this before you need them in a crisis…read more We've trusted Brighton-Eggert with a dog and three cats for years. The doctors are genuinely excellent -- no complaints there. But when my cat was actively dying and I desperately needed an appointment, they had nothing and sent me to urgent care or emergency care. The urgent care vet was limited in what he could do without my cat's full medical history and test results. Only Brighton-Eggert had it. Comprehensive blood work for the last few years, every 4-6 months. And also the result of the echocardiogram. When your fur baby is dying, you need compassion -- and that's exactly what was missing. A truly compassionate practice shows up for you in the worst moments. This wasn't that. The problems don't stop there. They've also stopped sending prescriptions to third-party pharmacies, a move that forces you to use their in-house pharmacy. They're not in the business of putting your pet first; they're in the business of protecting their revenue streams. Other reviews tell the same story: great vets, but a lack of compassion when you truly need them. If your pet is healthy, they're fine. But if you're facing a crisis, you may find that the compassion and continuity of care you're paying premium prices for simply isn't there. Premium pricing should come with premium support, at least compassionate support, when it matters most. It didn't for us. The doctors are genuinely excellent. But management has lost its way. Read the owner's responses to negative reviews and judge for yourself. We gave them our loyalty and our money without hesitation. What we needed in return was compassion. We didn't get it.

    I've been going to Ellicott for all my veterinary needs for about a decade and wouldn't go anywhere…read moreelse. The staff have been consistently wonderful, especially with my highly anxious and unfriendly dog. Is Ellicott the cheapest vet in Buffalo? Probably not, but I wouldn't trust my animals with anyone else. We have received excellent care over the years from the front desk, vet techs and veterinarians. Dr. Stevens and Dr. Nellis are truly first class and have been with this practice since we started going there. I would recommend them to anyone and know several people who exclusively request Dr. Nellis for all of their appointments. Appointments are easy to make over the phone and they have an app which tracks when my pets are due for visits and vaccines which is very handy. The office is always clean and while the parking lot is small, I've never had an issue getting a spot. Overall, this is a wonderful practice.

    I have been bringing all of my pets here for the last decade and have never had a problem with them…read moreuntil this year. I have brought three of my pets in this year for their yearly check-ups and have had Marcus(?) as the vet tech. At each visit my pets have not been referred to by name, just as they/them with all of the intake questions. Since they are MY pets, I have responded to all questions, while referring to MY pets as HE or SHE. On each visit this has escalated where Marcus has gotten more aggressive leading up to my last visit on 5/19/25 where he raised his voice and started arguing with me which was very uncomfortable. After he left the room, I overheard his raised voice in another room talking bad about me. That made me extra uncomfortable, so I decided to leave with my cat. I went to the front counter and said I was leaving due to what happened and asked for all my vet records, since it was more than obvious, we were not valued as customers. A couple of weeks after this incident transpired, I had no choice and needed to message them for authorization for prescription cat food for my cat who was seen on 4/14/25 for her yearly check-up. In previous years this prescription has always been renewed for a years' worth of prescription food. This is the response I received: Hi Maria, I hope this message finds you well. Following a review of the events during your appointment on May 19, and after discussion with the clinic manager, we have made the decision to discontinue veterinary services for your pets due to inappropriate behavior observed during the visit. We take the well-being and safety of our staff seriously, and maintaining a respectful environment is essential to the care we provide. Regarding your pet's diet, one final approval has been issued with no refills. We will not be able to provide further prescriptions or care moving forward. We recommend that you establish care with another veterinary provider. Please arrange for any necessary refills or follow-up treatments with your new clinic. If you need assistance transferring medical records or have any questions, feel free to contact us. Thank you for your understanding.
