Brooklyn is a compassionate and dedicated veterinary assistant with a deep love for animals from childhood. With multiple years of experience in the veterinary field, Brooklyn has honed her skills in animal care, assisting with medical procedures, and providing comfort to pets and their owners.

At home, Brooklyn and her family keep busy running two agricultural businesses, growing crops, producing feed products, and raising beef cattle. Outside of her farm life, Brooklyn has been a competitive figure skater since she was a toddler and is now also a coach!

Janet Macdonald06/09/2026We feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Justin Greep and the team at Westvets caring for our two cats, Mackie and Mia. What sets Westvets apart is the way they treat Mackie and Mia - with the same love and compassion that we do, just like the important members of our family that they are. When you love your pets as much as we do, finding a vet you truly trust means everything. With each visit, Dr. Greep has shown genuine compassion, kindness, and understanding. He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to listen and explains things clearly, without feeling rushed. We are so thankful for Dr. Greep and the entire Westvets team - they are clearly in this business because of their genuine love for animals. Knowing our cats are in such caring and capable hands gives us tremendous peace of mind. We highly recommend Westvets to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care with genuine compassion and heart.Posted on Google

M Siminoff18/08/2026One of if not the best vet I’ve ever been to in my 30 years of owning animals. Very quick to see us, got us in the same day, upfront with costs, easy to talk to and non judgemental. Amazing staff.Posted on Google

Heather Bruce17/06/2026West Vets is the type of place where you know your pet is surrounded by staff that love animals. From the lovely receptionists to all the caring vet assistants to the expert veterinarians, this place is filled with people who care. Dr. Geers took the time to fully explain the situation when I had to rush my puppy in. He is one of those amazing doctors that explains what is happening, the options available and his expertise opinion. He never forced a decision, explained the costs before proceeding and truly had our puppy’s health as his first priority. If you want a place where you feel that you can fully trust with your four legged family members, West Vets is it.Posted on Google
Ben Webb06/06/2026Amazing!!! I brought my Cane Corso; just over a year old in to get her weighed and some meds to make her drowsy (she won't let anyone cut her nails while alert and awake) They were super friendly and patient with her even though she won't let anyone give her commands without me there. They gave it the college try before calling me to take her. Amazing staff, great clean clinic and very aware of all animals going in and out of the lobby (to prevent any interactions with reactive animals while we were there). 10000% recommend them to all pet lovers.Posted on Google

Cassandra Walker23/05/2026Dr. Greep is the best vet ever and the reason I go to this clinic! He is a good person, he does not push unnecessary procedures, communicates clearly, and the only guy my cat will tolerate! He is accountable and honest, and wants the best for people's pets.
