Services
West Valley Veterinary Clinic is a well-established, full-service, AAHA accredited small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local referral practices when special diagnostic procedures are required.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
Dr. Sam received his Bachelors in Animal Science as well as one in Zoology from Rutger's University. He then attended the University of Prince Edward Island where he achieved his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree. Dr. Sam has owned the West Valley Veterinary Clinic since January of 2005. In addition to all of his duties and responsibilities here at the clinic, he is also a Captain in the Army Reserves.
Firstly, our pets can't speak, they cannot tell us if they feel off colour or unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. We need to examine them every 6 months as well as run some routine screening tests to detect underlying disease BEFORE it is clinically apparent. Use the age chart below to find your pets age in "people" years and the screening testing recommended for each stage of his or her life.
Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.

Here at West Valley Veterinary Clinic, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem.We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

Ever since my first experience with your clinic, I have been raving to my family and friends regarding what a well oiled machine you are as a team. But as well organized and efficient your team is, we always feel the compassion and honesty when it comes to the health of our pets has been your shining star. You cover every possible thing from the "hometown" feel of our in person visits, to the high tech connection and communication with email, text, and online pharmacy. Your team and the work you put into every aspect of your client's experience truly makes it a treat to have you caring for our

I have always been impressed by the quality of care, compassion and professionalism, that myself and my animals, have received. It has been 20 yrs (or more) that I have been blessed to know them. I have never been disappointed.

My cat in a patient here. Dr. Sam is very friendly and helpful. And the Ladies up front have the absolute best customer service.
Also prior to the pandemic Dr. Sam was the only vet who allowed me to job shadow for high-school and college experience. Thank you all for the opportunity and experience!
