West Mountain Animal Hospital
About Us
Our Story
West Mountain Animal Hospital (WMAH) has been a leading force in animal healthcare for over 45 years. We provide veterinary care to animals in Southern Vermont, Northwest Massachusetts, and Eastern New York. We strive to enhance the lives of companion animals and their owners. Our goal is to provide progressive, high-quality medicine combined with dedicated client service.
West Mountain Animal Hospital began as a small mixed animal clinic in 1979 under the guidance of Dr. Bob Bergman and Dr. Anna Worth, who were married in Veterinary School. Dr. Linda Morris joined them as a partner in 1999. Drs. Bob and Anna’s son, Dr. Bo Bergman joined the practice in 2009.
Exceptional Care
WMAH facilities grew through the years and in February 2007 moved to a new location at the top of Harwood Hill in Bennington, Vermont. WMAH’s expanding practice is a testament to the dedication and the caring attention provided by the doctors and their knowledgeable, caring support staff. We continue to look for ways to improve the level of animal care for the region.
AAHA Accreditation
An accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) since 1978, we have been awarded the highest certification AAHA offers. Based on the highest standards of veterinary medicine, on-sight evaluations are performed regularly. Only 14% of the veterinary practices throughout the United States and Canada make the commitment to voluntarily participate. The evaluation consists of an intensive assessment of the hospital, its medical equipment, practice methods, record keeping, and patient health care management.
West Mountain Animal Hospital’s entire staff utilizes AAHA’s extensive resources for continuing education. The AAHA Standards of Accreditation are composed of 940 standards and 18 categories covering all areas of veterinary practice—from anesthesia and pain management to recordkeeping and client communication. Achieving and maintaining the highest standard of care provides our hospital with peace of mind that clients and their beloved pets are receiving the very best of care.
Cat Friendly Practice
The Cat Friendly Practice program is awarded through the Feline Veterinary Medical Association, and is a global initiative intended to advance the care for cats by reducing stress and making practice visits more calm and enjoyable.
We value all of our feline guests, and want to make sure that everything in our power is being done to make their visits as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our hospital is committed to evolving and staying up to date. We invite you to learn more about our Accreditations & Certifications.
