How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Valley Animal 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.

The doctors are kind and you can tell they really want the best for your pet! They always get you in as soon as they can and even try to work with you financially to save you money. I have multiple pets I bring here, & have had all good experiences!

How can VAH improve? Be kinder, don't be rude to the clients. And Don't price gouge Dr. Javier Nolasco DVM (the last doc standing) needs to get some bedside manners and compassion and patience. Reception could be warmer and empathetic as well (read the google reviews if you don't believe me), I saw a woman crying today IN PAIN 10/10 due to her fur baby, and receptionist BreAnna and Lety didn't even offer her a tissue let alone comfort. THE WORST!!! The one doctor they have now was soooooooooo rude to me yesterday 10/9, among other things (Dr. Javier Nolasco I am talking about you) he is the only doc available (And I here he owns the place now!), met with Diane Matthews (the Manager of the facility who was a dream)...even after coming back to voice my complaints he still never apologized and STILL treated me as if I was an irritation (cuz he had other clients waiting more important I guess) HE NEVER APOLOGIZED!!!! I've worked in customer service and customer care for over 30 years. I manage 6 bldgs that accept residents with pets.... Do you think I am going to recommend or refer VAH? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! My pet is like my child!! MY FUR BABY!!! And there is absolutely no trust. He was even dismissive on the day I came back to speak with Diane the facility manager. God bless her! VAH you are NOT the only option. BUYER BEWARE. Always check the rating. Prayers out to the pet owner that the review stated they misdiagnosed a tumor and died. Good thing my sister was witness the care and observed how we were not even given the medication that we should have for my pup. GOOD RIDDANCE, Banfield Pet Hospital here I come!!!! I guess my 14yrs at this facility has come to an end!

My dog Ollie cut open his foot on a broken mirror. Poor guy. He needed stitches. Dr. Nolasco and staff took great care of him. They were very kind and efficient. Also, they are open 7 days a week which is very convenient for us working pet parents.
