West Lake Animal Hospital has earned hundreds of online reviews with an average rating of 4.81 stars, a spectacular 96.07 Rating Score™ and a 2018 Top Rated Local award for being ranking among the top 10 veterinarians in all of Utah!

“Dr. Benson and [the] team at Westlake Animal Hospital are truly the best. We receive the highest quality veterinary medicine delivered honestly and professionally for all three of our pets.

Not Your Average Veterinary Hospital

At West Lake Animal Hospital, everyone — pets and people alike — is treated with kindness and respect, regardless of their status in life.

The team at West Lake gives their clients lots of options, allowing them to make the right decisions based on their wants, needs and finances. They never make their clients feel guilty about not following through on recommendations, nor do they pressure them into anything.

We sat down with the owner and veterinarian at West Lake Animal Hospital, Dr. David Benson, to find out why he does what he does. Here’s what he had to say:

“Everything I do is with the goal to make pet care more affordable for all people without compromising the well-being of the pet. There are so many people who want and need the companionship a pet can bring, and I am just trying to make that possible for as many as possible.”

Building Success Through Quality Service

Dr. Benson credits West Lake Animal Hospital’s strong online reputation to his team’s commitment to providing high-quality service, treating people well and charging a fair price. Dr. Benson and his staff love what they do and share the same philosophy of excellence, and as a result, their clients naturally want to leave reviews and share their story with their friends and neighbors.

We asked Dr. Benson what advice he has for other business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here are his words of wisdom:

“Stop running your business like a business, so to speak, and bring back the human factor. If it is all about the money, it will become obvious to your clients and the loyalty will go out the window. Set aside all the quotas and money goals, and focus on people — both clients and employees — and they will respond better and increase your bottom line. There is also no substitute for honesty and integrity. Read the best book ever on business, ‘Winners Never Cheat,’ by John Huntsman, Sr. He built a worldwide, billion-dollar company because of who he was and how he treated those with whom he did business.”

Dr. Benson’s business philosophy may not be the most conventional, but it works, as evidenced by the growth and reputation that West Lake Animal Hospital has enjoyed.


Congratulations to the team at West Lake Animal Hospital for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dr. Benson, for taking the time to speak with us!
