West Mount Vets Ltd

West Mount Vets Ltd is an RCVS General Practice small‑animal clinic with in‑house imaging (X‑ray and ultrasound) and a wide stated species scope (dogs, cats, rabbits, small mammals, and multiple bird types including wild birds). The website says it provides emergency support during normal hours, plus out‑of‑hours free telephone advice and emergency consultations via its Halifax service. In the latest reviews available to us, owners mention same‑day urgent appointments, clear explanations during consultations, and respectful handling of euthanasia where the owner could hold their pet while medication was given; one reviewer also describes the practice as “the most expensive vets in Yorkshire.”

Google rating: 4.6 stars from 161 reviews.

• •Access to care: same‑day appointments are mentioned for emergencies, and there’s reported flexibility for routine appointments into the early evening.
• •Communication during consultations: owners describe vets explaining things clearly and helping them feel supported.
• •End‑of‑life care: one detailed account describes calm, respectful euthanasia with the owner able to hold their pet, and efforts to keep the animal secure.
• •Cost: one reviewer calls the practice “the most expensive vets in Yorkshire,” which conflicts with other reviews that focus on service quality rather than price.
