Best vet ever! Love the staff and the vets here at Whitworth. They take such great care of our furry babies.
Quick appointment scheduling. on time, efficient and excellent care. Highly recommend Dr. Whitworth and staff…
I took my three dogs to get their annual check ups here today for the first time. The staff was so nice and welcoming, and all three of my dogs loved them. Dr. Whitworth made sure to listen to all of my questions and concerns, and answered them very thoroughly. Truly a great experience, and I’m so glad I decided to take my dogs there! Will definitely stick to this clinic in the future, and will recommend to my friends/family.
Absolutely fantastic people. We’ve been taking our dogs there for over 20 years, but when one of my dogs was badly injured and I thought she would die, they took care of her and she made a full recovery. They don’t overcharge you in times of crisis, either, like some vets do. Highly recommend!
I was having a bad run-in with my old veterinarians office about my elderly dog. The day I called Whitworth, they got me in that day. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my sweet old lady. She was about to be 20 years old. But the way they handled us was amazing. And I’m very picky about who I’ll let around my dogs. This was the first time I ever lost a dog, so it was very scary for me. But they did everything they could to make sure that I knew that I was making the right choice. Because my dog was very miserable. She was just so tired. I am very grateful for this place. I wish that the visit was different, but we had a feeling that it was time for her to go. But I will always hold the people that work there, a special place in my heart. They took really good care of her . I attached a picture of my baby girl before she got hit hard with doggy dementia. This is how I want to remember her. Happy and healthy! I Definitely recommend this place.was having a bad run-in with my old veterinarians office about my elderly dog.

Dr Whitworth, Jennifer and all the rest of the staff are amazing! My family has been using Dr Charles since he began his practice in Madison. He is so caring and he takes his time with any questions or concerns you have. Jennifer has a huge heart and a love for the patients and the “parents”. I highly recommend Whitworth Animal Clinic for excellent care, companionate hearts, and all the warm and friendly staff.Thank you for always taking care of all my “babies”!
I think that Whitworths Animal clinic is one of the best in the HSV/Madison Area. They take so much time and really seem to care for all the animals they care for. I am a Chow Chow Person and allot of people are scared of them, But Whitworths groomers and Vets show all the animals allot of attention! They have some beautiful Cats that are not scared of anyone, they are always on the front counter and come up to you. I just want to say Thank you for taking so much care and time with Luna, She is our Baby!!!!! Randy Lyle
We have been using Whitworth Animal Clinic on shots, care for our new puppy and very positive experience so we decided to board her for the first time with Whitworth and it was a very positive experience and very affordable. I highly recommend using Whitworth Animal Clinic!!
