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.

I use to see Dr. Stack for my cat and he was amazing for the 15 years he was her Vet. I inherited my mother’s dog after she passed away and this is the first year I’ve dealt with my dachshund’s allergies. For regular check ups Valley Vet is fine but in relation to a “condition” my experience was not great.. Scrappy suffers from allergies and hot spots. I originally visited the vet in April and it was confirmed to be allergies. After the initial visit my dog experienced no relief. I told the vet my dog is screaming and uncomfortable and returned for a follow up visit and was told nothing appears wrong. After the steroid, pain pills and anxiety meds he is still scooting, biting and scratching... 2 full body dog suits, five prescriptions and 400.00 later my dog is still in a cone and I’m trying everything possible to relieve his itching because he’s to the point where he’s scooted the fur off his tail.. I’m in the process of searching for a second opinion. He’s literally itching himself on my rug as I type this review.

I’ll start by saying that every single person at Valley Vet is super attentive and genuinely cares about your pet. From front desk to veterinary. Great stuff! We got our dog’s teeth cleaned and the whole process could not be any smoother! They took great care of her. It’s very hard to find vet that not trying to rip you off BUT this was never the case with them!! All charges were discussed upfront, nothing was tried to be upsold to us. All in all excellent service! I highly recommend! Roxie loves her white pearls 😁

Dr. Morkos is an exceptional veterinarian. He treated both of my pets since we moved to the area 6 years ago. His Medical care gave us a few more years to enjoy our baby girl, Nala, who we sadly sad goodbye at 12 years old girl. Dr. Morkos took care of everything from start to finish with the most compassion and care. Thank you Dr. & team.

A couple weeks ago, my dog suddenly became very ill (we know now it's lymphoma). The valley vet staff stayed after-hours on a Saurday to see our dog. I greatly appreciate all the employees working that day to have done this. We have been with Valley vet a few years and they are always wonderful (and reasonably priced). Thank you everyone at Valley Vet!
