This facility does quick and excellent work, The staff there loves animals and during tough for times of my life they were extremely generous with their services. There was one summer where we had to keep an entire litter of puppies. Five new dogs! We live in the foothills and it was a particularly devastating year for insects, fleas and ticks in particular. I brought in 3 females over 20 lbs. at that time both me and my mother were struggling to make ends meet and I had three female dogs to fix, The staff will not proceed if there’s parasites present, and the flea and tick treatment was $10 per animal, I barely had enough to pay for the procedure. Together the staff donated the treatment so that we could get our animals taken care of. Professionally, nobody does that anymore! The staff understood our position, instead of judging us, they helped us. I have sworn by them ever since. The only reason I reduce them by one star is because it takes a very long time to get an appointment at least it did the last time I made one. Almost 10 years later we still have three of the five dogs, They were the best dogs we ever had.

Terrible and horrendous experience. Never coming back for vaccines or check ups. Our dog, 15 lbs, is aggressive and we had informed the staff. He had a muzzle on as well. He was fine getting taken into the room but the lady then came out after attempting to vaccinate him, yelling at my mother and telling us not to come back because he was aggressive. She was dragging him by the neck with the leash, and sustained burns from the leash from how hard she had dragged him. He was limping when we had gotten home. Not to mention, he was completely traumatized and we have since moved to a private vet. Much better and has done well since.

Every one of my poms (and poodle mix) gets there shots from Valley's. Since my first experience here, I've never gone to another place again. The staff is so nice and caring. They helped me the first time by informing me about what shots were for what and have handled my one aggressive pom with care. I love Valley and have recommended them to my older sister as well.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Our Low-Cost Clinic pricing is setup to offer the lowest prices available for all community members. We occasionally will have a promotion on a clinic service that would lower the cost on a specific item though. For the month of August 2019, you can receive $5OFF any single $15 vaccine.

I have three cats show up on my patio and I'm not sure what to do because I can't have animals and I feel so bad scaring the off.Ive went door to door in my complex and nobody belongs to them.Not sure what to do with them.help

Rene Gaona | Jul 10, 2022
Michelle R. | Jul 10, 2022

Have you called the Valley Animal Center? If not, give them a call and see if they are taking in strays. Even if they can't because of over population, it's best to try and trap them (if feral) and get them spayed or neutered or your complex is going to have a overrun of cats in less than a year. A female cat can have up to 3 litters of 6 babies in one year and females can get pregnant as soon as 5 months old. Take care of the problem now before it gets too unbearable.

If im homeless and can no longer care for my cats can I bring them here or do I take them some where else? I love my cats but I'm not gonna have no place to keep them can I get some advice.

angie valencia | Oct 8, 2021
Dre Sal | Oct 8, 2021

I'm homeless and finding help to rehome my beautiful husky is tough. Ive called everywhere and mostly only get references to other places. Ive been trying to get him fixed and shots and then get him a home because he deserves better. But its been weeks.. I feel so depressed about it. I called here as well. More well wishes and references. Maybe they will call back and I'll have more to say.

And they will see you are doing your part making sure you don't find yourself in a pickle again. I hope this heps.
