I have brought my cat with an eye infection, my dog with a mass, and all my pets here for vaccines…read more The doctor is so kind. He is to the point and very quick but thorough with the visit. His prices are very affordable. He's honest and up front about everything. He doesn't perform any surgical treatment but will refer you out if needed! Amazing.

The only real positive is that you don't need an appointment, but you should be prepared to wait in your car till your name is called off the list. Personally, I would only bring my dog here for something simple and routine, not anything serious, as they don't seem medically capable of handling everything. and apparently they don't get good prices.

The only real positive is that you don't need an appointment, but you should be prepared to wait a long time. Personally, I would only bring my dog here for something simple and routine, not anything serious, as they don't seem medically capable of handling everything. so I thought it was a low cost vet but it really just seems outdated, janky. I definitely was overcharged at this vet, but I didn't have time to make an appointment to go to another vet. This Vet is a SCAMMER SCAMMER they dont want to approve prescriptions unless your over paying. DONT GO HERE!!! They will tell you to put your dog down just to get money.

I had to bring my dog Isla in after she was attacked, and I'm so grateful for the care we received…read more From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding during a really stressful situation. The vet took the time to thoroughly examine Isla, explain everything clearly, and make sure she was comfortable. You can tell they truly care about the animals and their owners. Thanks to their treatment and guidance, Isla is recovering so well, and I feel much more at ease. I really appreciate the compassion and professionalism from the entire team. Highly recommend. Thank you to Dr. Farg and his Vet tech Team.

I brought my 11-year-old 62 lb pit mix to Dr. Farag after her tail tip was bleeding. She was…read moreotherwise in fairly good health and had no respiratory or other symptoms--this was the only issue we were seeing besides the bleeding. We discussed amputation as a way to prevent this from happening again. She stayed overnight on Wednesday, March 25. The next morning they took X-rays of her tail and chest and ran bloodwork. Later that day, Dr. Farag called to say they saw nodules in her chest and that it could possibly be metastasis/tumor or a fungal infection. Because of those findings, he recommended we not proceed with the tail surgery and that we see a specialist. He did say her bloodwork looked fairly okay for her age and that she seemed healthy overall. However, when I picked her up Thursday night and brought her home, she was extremely lethargic. I called immediately and spoke with the front desk about her being unusually low-energy. I was told she received a sedative and that more than a normal amount was given to keep her calm and prevent her from wagging her tail. They said if she still seemed that way the next day, I should bring her back, but otherwise to monitor her over the next few days. On Monday morning, March 30 (about four days after being there), I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to my dog struggling to breathe and unable to hold her head up. Within 10 minutes, she died. It was extremely sudden, and it didn't make sense to me given that she had never shown breathing issues prior to this. The next day I called, but Dr. Farag wasn't available. They told me he would call me back; I never received a call. About a week later, I called again from the original number and explained what happened. The front desk seemed honestly confused by how sudden it was. The following day Dr. Farag called me back. I was not satisfied with how defensive he was or how dismissive he became. I asked whether there was any explanation for how she died so suddenly and whether the sedative could have played a role, especially since I had been told more than the normal amount was given. He immediately said the information I was given was wrong, and then he started reading off doses while telling me to look them up online so that I could see the proper dose was given. He also added in there that it wasn't his practice and that it wasn't his fault or responsibility if the front desk gave me incorrect information amount the dose given. He also ended the call by saying she wasn't a healthy patient, which directly contradicted what he'd told me initially. I understand they found abnormalities in her chest on the X-ray. But for her to die within four days, after being active and otherwise fine beforehand, did not sit right with me. I wasn't calling to accuse anyone--I wanted answers, clarity, and compassion. I also want to note that I'm truly grateful for the vet techs and the front desk staff. They were helpful and empathetic throughout the process. My complaint is specifically with the doctor's responses--his defensiveness and lack of empathy--when I was simply trying to understand what happened. In the end, between wrapping her tail, X-rays, bloodwork, and the radiologist review, I spent around $1,300. It feels unbearable to say, but I feel like I spent $1,300 and went through all of that just for my dog to die shortly after. No it's not about the money if I could've spent thousands more just to keep her here I would have, but I feel I was given false hope when being told that she was fairly healthy, especially since I can see with my own eyes that she was a healthy and active dog. I know you can't predict certain things, but none of it makes sense, considering she never displayed any signs of her being unhealthy. If you bring your senior dog--or any dog--to this clinic, please be cautious. I just wish I had been given more clarity and kindness when I needed answers most. Also, since Dr. Farag was so quick to explain this wasn't his practice, and that misinformation given to me about his patient (my dog) has nothing to do with him, for whoever does own this practice, I would reconsider who you choose to assist with your business.

I do not recommend this vet. I've had multiple experiences here that left me feeling frustrated and…read morehonestly taken advantage of as a pet owner. Most recently, I brought my cat in for an eye issue and was quoted over $600 for an exam, sedation, tests, and medication. The price immediately felt extremely high, especially for an eye infection, so I decided to call another veterinary clinic to compare. The other clinic examined both of my cat's eyes, and the total cost came out to under $120 including medication. They also determined that sedation was not necessary at all. My cat was calm, friendly, and even purring during the exam, which made me question why sedation was being pushed so strongly at the first clinic. This clinic does not allow pet owners to accompany their animals due to "safety protocols," so it left me wondering how my cat was being handled during the visit. Another frustrating part of the experience is that you don't actually speak directly with the doctor. All communication goes through the technician, who goes back and forth between you and the doctor. As a pet owner, I would much rather speak directly with the veterinarian responsible for my pet's care, instead of receiving information through a middle person. At the other clinic, the doctor was with me during the entire exam, explaining everything step by step, which felt much more transparent and reassuring. What also shocked me was that they mentioned charging a fee for each CPR attempt in case of an emergency. As a worried pet owner, hearing about additional charges like that felt extremely discouraging and overwhelming. Isn't the priority supposed to be protecting the life of the animal under their care? This unfortunately isn't my first bad experience here. During a previous visit, my cat needed a cast. After the procedure, she was still sedated and very sleepy, and the cast fell off immediately after we got home. She had barely moved, so it clearly wasn't my fault or my cat's fault. I called the clinic hoping they would fix it since it appeared to be an issue with how the cast was applied, but they charged me again to redo it. At the time I didn't push for a refund because my cat's wellbeing came first. Looking back now after this second experience, I truly feel I deserve a refund for that cast, since the issue was not caused by anything I did or by my cat. I do want to say that the front desk staff have always been kind and supportive, and I appreciate them. However, overall my experiences with this clinic have been very disappointing. I care deeply about my cat and want a veterinary office that is honest, transparent, and focused on the animal's wellbeing, not adding unnecessary services that dramatically increase the bill. There are other veterinary clinics in the area that provide great care without making pet owners feel this way. I strongly encourage others to seek a second opinion before committing to treatment here.

I am so impressed with how much care my animals receive! I've recently had 2 of my dogs visit…read moreValley Animal Hospital. One saw Dr. Bowers (we usually see Dr. Duprez... but Dr. Duprez wasn't in that day so Dr. Bowers saw her) and I appreciate all that Dr. Bowers did for my little girl. Dr. Bowers gave me the assurance that she would be more than happy to see her again to resolve any problems if the problems continued.... My Sadie already had an appointment set with Dr. Duprez and she was seen again by Dr. Duprez and more extensive tests were done. I'm so grateful for both doctors caring so much about her and taking the time to take care of her. Thank you Dr. Bowers for being so available to take care of my Sadie girl! Then my little man had a large growth on his side.. I already had an appointment with Dr. Duprez for him but it was growing quickly so Dr. Duprez got him in quickly and also fit him in for surgery to remove the mass. I am so grateful for her and the care she gives my dogs. They are happy to see her and willingly go with her! Dr. Duprez, thank you for always being there for my dogs! I'm so grateful for the time, care, and love you give to them! A special thanks to Jeff also for taking the time to pet my dogs and assure me that my dogs are loved while I'm not with them! I know my dogs are in great hands when they are being taken care of at Valley Animal Hospital so much so that I am willing to drive 45 minutes to take them there!!!

Been meaning to leave a review but had a lot of stuff come up , sorry !! Would give them more stars…read moreif I could , never been to a vet that I actually trust like this place . Every single doctor I've had has been awesome , not a single issue. Fluff and boogie are starting to look a lot better now luckily from their help They even call or text to check in a few days later to make sure they are ok . Really liked that , another big reason I've taken the time to leave this review . Everything seems to be super affordable so far also , and trust me I called several places each time before making my appointment and they had the most reasonable prices for the great service you receive . I'll definitely be back , I used to think vets were scams until I found this place
