We encourage patient loyalty at Bowen Veterinary Services. In the event of an emergency where expedience and efficiency is critical it is helpful if we have seen your pet for routine preventive wellness care and have current medical records here. If your pet is familiar with our hospital then he/she will be less stressed in an emergency or traumatic situation.
We are able to handle any veterinary emergency with any patient but it is much easier on all concerned if we know your pets' personality, history and health information.
If you use us as your exclusive veterinarian throughout the year then your pet will be able to receive 24/7 emergency care with no afterhours or emergency fees.

"Hi Dr. Westcott,
Despite my efforts to slowly get Moss fit again after his operation, he thought the pace was far too slow. Last Friday he saw the bear on Woods Road, took off as though shot from a cannon, and pursued him at full greyhound speed along the road, up a steep, long driveway, and into the woods. Eventually he dashed back, very pleased with himself indeed.
I can't thank you enough for correctly diagnosing the laryngeal paralysis and staying up all night, two nights in a row, to save his life. We are very lucky to have a vet that is so skilled in identifying the problem and willing to work these horrific hours.
I'm sorry I took so long to send this, but I was waiting for a suitable picture--one will come along eventually.
Please use any of these comments you wish on your web site,
Thank you again,"
Mark and Leslie Churchland
