Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital

My dog needed serious physical surgery and she received it here. I feel confident that I received honest, professional and knowledgeable info about the surgery. An extra large tumor made it necessary to remove a rear leg. It's been a few days and everything is going great. Obvious skill, talent and commitment from the whole team. The time spent in phone calls and speaking with the front desk was always pleasant and accommodating. Follow ups have been booked and I am so relieved. You don't have to question Rose Valley Vet's desire to take care of your pet and you. Lastly, I find the pricing to be very fair and I've had other dogs that needed tumors removed in the past.

I recently brought my bulldog in for a small hematoma on his ear, which later resulted in a full surgery due to it not resolving itself on its own.. doctor bailey was so kind, knowledgeable & helpful during the whole process. myself & blue are very appreciative. 10/10 recommend.

I, too, can't thank Mai and staff at Rose Valley Vet Hospital enough. We had a dying heart failure kitty, Frankie, who would have suffered horribly from being extremely frightened on the 40 minute drive to get to them. We were given Gabapentin to give to him for the car trip and this also helped tremendously to keep Frankie very calm and out of pain at the office waiting for him to be euathanized. And an extremely difficult moment was made so much better by a private room with peaceful music and candles in which to say goodbye. And hugs and kind words from Mai were unspeakably reassuring. Thank you from the bottom of my mending heart!

I wish I could give a thousand stars!!! When I moved to Kelowna I initially wanted to take my cats to Rose Valley based on the reviews of Dr Oz. We ended up taking our cat that had a congenital heart condition to Trilake in Winfield only because they do echos there. Biggest mistake I ever made. One year ago I experienced the most traumatic day of my life at Trilake when we had to euthanize our 8 year old Himalayan 3 hours after learning he was in kidney failure. He had been diagnosed stage 2 kidney disease and started on medication and all new food one month before. The doctor told us she was being pulled in multiple directions and stated "I have 4 minutes." We had no time to ask all the questions we wanted to ask, we were told the only humane thing to do was euthanize, and were left traumatized and with absolutely no closure. She didn't let us know when she was actually doing the euthanasia; everything about that day was horrific. She took him from my arms and when I saw her removing the IV I asked what she was doing then saw him and asked if he was sleeping only to be told "no, he's gone." I fell to the ground, it was honestly the worst moment of my life. Being busy is no excuse and that is an experience that should have been handled with care and grace. I sent a novel long email about our experience and the Veterinarian never even reached out. There was a kind and empathetic manager there that did reach out to me, but of course only the Veterinarian would be able to answer the questions I needed to ask. It would have been so simple for her to call when she wasn't busy and given me the time to ask questions and get the closure that I needed. I would give anything to have that day back and take our precious baby to Dr Oz instead. After hearing about my friend's experience saying goodbye to her baby with Dr Oz, I knew I needed to talk to him. She told me he was so kind and caring, and lit candles, and called the next day to make sure she knew she'd made the right decision and that she was okay.  It took me a year of crying endlessly and not being able to properly grieve before I finally mustered up the courage to call Rose Valley. I said I'd pay anything to make an appointment just to talk about what happened. Dr Oz called me back himself right away, had me send over all the labs and medical history, and answered every single question I had with compassion and empathy. He told me we did make the right decision and fully explained why. I finally have the closure I needed. He didn't charge me a cent and told me I could call him again anytime. Words can not express the gratitude for the kindness and compassion and the gift of closure Dr Oz gave me and my family. I will be taking all of my pets to him in the future, and will tell everyone I know to do the same. He is truly special and cares in a way I have never experienced. A truly exceptional human. ❤️

The Staff at Rose valley and Dr May truly are amazing humans. They shared in the saddest day I experienced in my lifetime when I had too say goodbye too Goobie my dog of 20 years. They were professional, compassionate, understanding. And truly helped me find peace in Goobies end of life. Thank you all so much! Your job is not easy and I thank you for all you have done for us!! When the time is right we will be back with a new pet! Melanie with Mels Fine Finishes
