At Animal Clinic of West Lake Worth, caring for pets is our passion

Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love.

Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together.

So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you!

Here, we see dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and more. And, we’ll strive to make their visit a comfortable and positive experience.

    Stephanie Johnston

    Dr. Stephanie’s father retired the family to a hobby farm in North Carolina after 32 years of service in the United States Air Force.

Following graduation in 1998, she moved to South Florida, where she’s been enjoying the tropical climate ever since. As a relief vet, Dr. Stephanie has practiced in over 30 veterinary hospitals in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties. She joined the Animal Clinic of West Lake Worth family in 2008.

Happy Pet Parents

  • All the doctors and staff here are incredible! I can’t stress enough how wonderful they all are. We’ve been taking our dog here since we first adopted him in early 2018. Every experience here is absolutely perfect. They truly care about our dog and us. The doctors always explain things in an easy to understand way. Right now during the pandemic, we came in for his checkup and they have a great procedure in place for keeping us and their staff safe. I highly recommend them!
