How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Valley Veterinary Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I don’t think this vet is better than any other. But watch out for hidden fees. I had two cats, a brother and sister who needed to be fixed. I called them and they said it was only 45 for the male and 65 for the female. When I got there on the day (which by then would’ve been too late to find another vet), the cost blew up to over 150 for each. There were like 9 extra coats a piece. The cone wasn’t even included.

The employees here are very nice and helpful. Never have i had any bad experiences here. Would refer my family and friends to come here.The only thing I would say is would like to see them give injection while we're in the room.

I came in for an affordable puppy plan and the service and care for my new pup has been amazing here! Dr. Wallace, Dr. Gill, and the entire staff do the most that they can to make the visit to the vet pleasant for Buddy! They answer all of my questions and concerns as a new dog mom! It is walk-in only so make sure you come with plenty of time, but I only really had to wait maybe an hour at the most on a busy day. Thank you Valley Vet for being attentive of our pets!

Horrible. Dr Gil has no understanding of FIP. He claims FCoV and FIP are the same. They are not. He told me to speak to UC DAVIS about FIP treatment when labs gave no indication of FiP, only a positive FCoV. He refused to try a different antibiotic on a 2 month old kitten with pneumonia who was out of antibiotics and still having symptoms, telling me the antibiotic he prescribed should have helped. It didn't so we are just supposed to go untreated now. Over the last 8 months I have spent thousands on 4 different cats. 2 died (1 at only 4 months old) and apparently I'm supposed to let another die as well. Over those same 8 months I have left multiple messages with no response, and multiple requests for copies of the labs I've paid for. Staff says Dr called. He didn't. Staff says they sent copies. They didn't. I could understand the occasional glitch but not 90% of the time. When I spoke to him about it, he put the blame on my cell phone and email service providers. Im pretty sure if Verizon and Gmail weren't working for 8 months it would have made the news. Lying and shifting blame tells me the problem isn't going to be solved. I would have much more respect for a simple 'I'm sorry. We'll try to do better.' Instead both Dr Gil and his staff argued and lied to me. Oh, but I'm supposed to come back next week to spend hundreds more on repeating blood work that still won't show any indication of FIP. They advertise as a low cost clinic but the gross imcompetency will cost you more in the end, both financially and in the loss of your pet's lives. There is a male vet tech who works there. He is the one shining star. I only saw him handle animals with gentle care and owners with integrity. Hopefully a better clinic will snatch him up.

Took my 2 month old kitten in due to throwing up they gave her about 3 shots saying she should be fine just for her to get home looking even worse and ended up passing away 2 hours later, don’t recommend unless you want your pet to suffer more then they were before arrival !
