Horrifying! Why is this place still abusing animals? DON'T TAKE YOUR PET HERE! My 8 year old dog had no medical problems until Dr Lexi Rugg got her hands on her. Dr Rugg wanted to keep her overnight for tests. $12,000 later I picked up a fully bandaged dog. I removed the bandage at home and it horrified me. She had pulled her skin and fur off and whip stitched it back. When I confronted her I noticed that all the animals in the waiting room had bandages. Most owners like me were too shocked at the time to put it together. I ... read more

Money Hungry Vet If you want to pay for services your pet does not need and be hustled for medications that aren't necessary, this is the place to go. So many unnecessary procedures performed on a daily basis for the sole purpose of charging the client. Don't let this vet fool you. Animals are stuffed into cramped cages where they lie in their own waste throughout the day and medicated improperly

Professional,Friendly Service ! I am very impressed by the services offered here and with Dr Rugg and her staff. My new puppy was treated so well and I was given lots of great advice on handling my new Lab. Fees are very fair as well. I can highly recommend Dr Rugg and Valley Animal Hospital.

They also worked out a payment plan with me. I am very grateful to Dr. Rugg and the staff at Valley Animal Hospital. I'm also shocked by the 1 star review below. My dog was never in a cra... read more

Top Notch, Top of the Line, Just the Best!!!!!! I would have to say this is the best Veterinarian in town. I originally was a client of the late Dr. Westheimer. After many temporary, lousy veterinarians, Dr. Lexi Rugg took over the practice in 2007. Now, there is no one that can replace Dr. W, but Dr. Rugg is great in her own way. She is so knowledgeable in her art. She is frequented by frantic owners seeking answers that other vets simply had no idea where to go. She uses her vast expanse of knowledge, and pulls key treatme... read more
