Always had a good experience at this place. Been taking my dog here for for 8 years now for his shots. They are Profesional and friendly with reasonable prices. Recently my dog was injured and the staff and the vet took good care of my dog and gave me options on treatments.

Unacceptable treatment! On 11/29/2021, my male Yorkie with a one-week history of hematochezia was examine by Dr. Frerking. Abdominal x-rays were performed on that same day. My wife was told that we will be contacted within "one-two days" with the radiologist's interpretation of the abdominal films. However, after several calls to the office and front desk staff promises of a call back from Frerking to discuss the x-ray findings, we received no call-backs from anyone from the office.
Today 12/10/2021 at approximately 9:24 am, 11 days after the initial visit, I contacted the office again and was

This place is a joke of a vet. All they care about is money. I took my cat there for surgery on his eye that has a tumor yesterday and got a call today stating they cant do the surgery because they wont do a payment plan due to an old account that went into collections and got paid off 100%. I now have to find a new vet to do the surgery and have my fur baby back to normal and cancer free. I will never take my animals to this place ever again.

Gracie was adopted near-death after years of abuse. She is a terrified kitty, yet she is calm once we walk through their doors. They have been her vet for years. Although we have tried a few others when we’ve… moved, we always come back because Gracie is best here. From the wonderful front desk staff, to the doctors and their assistants, she receives loving care every step of the way — even when it’s just a sani-shave visit. Great hours, always able to get in, no long waits, and they have the CLEANEST facilities of any vet we’ve ever visited! (Never smells like poo

I have taken my dogs here several times. The doctors and staff are always so friendly and kind. I live in the neighborhood so it makes it convenient when you have an animal hospital so close to home. They are very flexible with appointment times and if an emergency does arise they are more than willing to fit you in to get your pet looked at. Very clean and tidy facility!! Would recommend to anyone in the Southern Highlands area!

South Valley Animal Hospital. A word about Dr Hancock at South Valley Animal Hospital. I realized my dog was not doing well last week and made an appointment, I couldn't get in until yesterday. She ran a bunch of tests and told me he had diabetes, Cushings, Pancreatitis, a heart murmur, mitral valve disease and was in Diabetic Ketoacidosis. WOW, that's a lot wrong and I told her I thought it was too much for him to come back from and I probably had to make a decision. She made me feel like a murderer and said, oh, he can probably live a fairly healthy life, I just had to give him insulin every

I’ve been taking my puppy here for a few months now and just had her spaded with Dr. Parker. She was kind and answered all of our questions (first time dog owner). Would highly recommend. They even called to check on her after surgery. Thanks again!

We absolutely love Dr. Frerking. He is excellent with our pups. I wouldn’t trust anyone else for their care.
Unfortunately, the staff is not as great as it used to be. If you call, plan to be on hold (sometimes 20+ minutes). They never used to be like this. When their former office manager Michelle was there, things were so much better. Rarely a wait on the phone and insurance claims were always handled timely. I now submit my own claims because it takes too long to get any results.

I needed a health certificate to travel internationally with my dog and my main vet couldn’t get me in for three weeks. I called several hospitals around the valley for information and with hopes they could get me in sooner. All the information I received was so convoluted that only left me frustrated and confused!
Until I spoke with Sam at south valley, she was so kind and helpful. She took the time to contact APHIS directly to make sure we were processing everything correctly. We found out I needed the health certificate issued that day or else it would expire and she had no problem accommodating

Super friendly vet & vet tech who took care of my little lady (dr Hancock i believe)... Comparable prices to other offices in the area that had terrible reviews.
Not sure if it was the time of the day I was there but it seemed when there was more than 2 people in line the front desk staff all scrambled around like they couldn't handle the pressure? Or some just stood there with there hands behind their backs not jumping in to help.... Super clean office! Very easy to find and get to! Will be back with my pup, and other dog. AND they have a specific vet that sees/deals with exotics too! Big plus

What an absolutely amazing, friendly, compassionate and competent staff. Dr. Huey and Dr. Havel worked tirelessly in finding and fixing our fur-baby health issue. If not for the quick action of these amazing doctors and staff behind the scenes the unthinkable might have happened. Special shout out the vet techs who spoiled River with love and attention when we were unable to. We appreciate and love you guys at South Valley 😉!
