    Best place ever! They took such good care of my cat, he survived Parvo which was amazing with about 20% chance of survival rating! Worth every dollar I spent! Thank you so much

    Right before Christmas I realized I had to put my cat down. I had never been to Valley Oak but it was the only place that was open. It was the most wonderful experience. Every person I was in contact with made the whole process of having my cat put down so lovely. Truly. I am so grateful for each of them making such a hard moment easier. Thank you

    This place made me hate vets. Spent over $1500 for literally no results and they tell me "thats just how your cat is." They are evil just wanting to bank money on people who love their pets. This place is a last resort

    We had an incredibly positive experience with valley oaks. They were incredibly kind and empathetic from start to finish. I had lots of questions and they were patient and answered each thoroughly. Our dog had to have surgery and they kept us updated every step of the way offering frequent phone calls with updates and letting us know we could call anytime ourselves if we wanted to check even overnight. The drs themselves were incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The cost was tough but we knew with an emergency situation it was going to be pricey. To our pleasant surprise they actually charged us thousands less than the estimate. They were upfront about all the charges, and when I asked about removing something from the plan of care they were completely fine with it. Throughout a really rough situation this facility showed us nothing but kindness and understanding. Im thankful we have an emergency vet and thankful for such an amazing staff.
