Valley Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. Our exams include evaluating eyes, ears, mouth, lymph nodes, abdomen, and heart to establish a baseline for your pet’s health. Early detection of potential issues ensures better long-term outcomes, and we tailor recommendations based on your pet’s unique needs.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and nutritional guidance to support growth and development. We recommend starting wellness visits as early as 6–8 weeks to ensure a strong foundation.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for pets aged 7+ (or smaller breeds at 5+). We provide tailored exams, bloodwork, and early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, dental disease, and organ dysfunction. Senior pets often hide illness, so we prioritize subtle behavioral changes and preventive care.

We administer Core Vaccinations (including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo) to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are essential for all dogs and cats, regardless of lifestyle. We follow strict vaccination schedules to ensure optimal immunity while minimizing risks.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our standard wellness protocols. Heartworm disease is preventable but potentially fatal, and we provide annual testing along with monthly preventive medications tailored to your pet’s risk factors (e.g., climate, travel, or outdoor access).

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions to protect your pet from parasites that can cause discomfort, allergies, or serious diseases like Lyme. We recommend year-round prevention, especially in regions like Grants Pass, OR, where ticks are prevalent. We offer topical, oral, and environmental control options.

We perform Microchipping & Registration to ensure your pet can be identified if lost. Microchips are permanently implanted under the skin and linked to your contact information in national databases. We also register chips and provide guidance on keeping your information up to date for maximum effectiveness.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services help pets maintain a healthy weight and diet based on life stage (puppy, adult, senior) and breed. We assess food quality, portion control, and supplements (e.g., joint support for seniors) to prevent obesity-related diseases like diabetes and arthritis. We also address feline weight loss programs with personalized plans.

We provide Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) as part of routine care, especially for puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets. Deworming is critical for preventing zoonotic diseases and ensuring your pet’s digestive health. We recommend fecal testing to identify specific parasites and tailor treatment.

Our veterinarians and staff offer Behavioral Counseling to address anxiety, depression, aggression, or other mental health concerns in pets. We recognize signs of distress (e.g., pacing, hiding, changes in appetite) and provide resources or referrals to specialists. Early intervention improves quality of life and strengthens the bond between pets and owners.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (including CBC and Chemistry Panels) to diagnose underlying conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or infections. Our lab allows for same-day results, enabling timely treatment plans. Bloodwork is especially valuable for senior pets, pre-surgery evaluations, and monitoring chronic illnesses.

Our Urinalysis service screens for urinary tract infections, crystals, kidney disease, and diabetes in pets. Early detection of these conditions can prevent serious complications. We recommend annual urinalysis for senior pets and as part of wellness exams for cats, who are prone to urinary issues.

We conduct Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites, bacteria (e.g., *Salmonella*), and other pathogens. This test is essential for puppies, kittens, and pets with digestive symptoms. We use the results to prescribe targeted deworming or treatment and educate owners on hygiene practices to prevent reinfection.

Our clinic is equipped with Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose issues like fractures, tumors, heart/lung conditions, and foreign objects. X-rays are invaluable for evaluating abdominal pain, limping, or unexplained symptoms. We use low-radiation technology and provide same-day interpretations for peace of mind.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging for detailed evaluation of abdominal organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, spleen), reproductive health, and cardiac function. Ultrasound is non-invasive and helps diagnose conditions like organ masses, pregnancy, or fluid accumulation. Our veterinarians perform ultrasounds in-house for immediate results.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental problems like root infections, fractured teeth, or oral tumors that aren’t visible during a visual exam. These X-rays guide treatments such as extractions or root canals. We include dental X-rays in comprehensive cleanings to address issues below the gumline.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth to relieve pain and prevent infection. Extractions are done under anesthesia with sterile techniques. Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize discomfort.

Our clinic offers Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer) and behavioral issues. We use modern surgical techniques and provide pre- and post-operative care to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or sudden illness. Our goal is to assess and treat life-threatening issues immediately, such as IV fluids, oxygen therapy, or pain management, before further diagnostics. We work closely with emergency referral hospitals if advanced care is needed.

For pets requiring Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, we offer a comfortable, supervised environment with frequent assessments. This includes post-surgical care, chronic illness management, or recovery from emergencies. Our staff is available around the clock to adjust treatments as needed.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to correct dehydration, support kidney function, or maintain hydration during illness or surgery. Fluids are tailored to your pet’s needs, whether for shock, post-anesthesia recovery, or chronic conditions like diabetes.

Our Pain Management services address acute and chronic pain through medications, laser therapy, and rehabilitation. We assess pain levels and provide personalized plans for conditions like arthritis, dental disease, or post-surgical recovery. Comfort is a priority in all our treatments.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate care for ingestions (e.g., chocolate, xylitol, lilies) or exposures to chemicals. Treatment may include induced vomiting, IV fluids, or supportive care. We also educate owners on common household toxins and emergency protocols.

We offer Medical Grooming services, including Sanitary Shave (for urinary or skin conditions), Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression. These services are essential for pets with mobility issues, skin infections, or discomfort. We tailor grooming to your pet’s medical needs.
