General Info

Mission Statement At The Valley Veterinary Clinic we are dedicated to providing high quality, progressive veterinary medical and surgical care. We strive to educate both clients and employees in order to improve animal health and well being. Our staff is committed to providing excellent service and genuine concern for our clients and their animals. We are pet owners serving pet owners. We are a full-service Veterinary Hospital, serving Western Garfield County, including Rifle, Parachute, Silt and New Castle. We offer exams, vaccines, parasite detection and treatment, surgical and diagnostic services. We accept CareCredit. Diagnostic Services: Our in-house laboratory and digital radiology abilities allow for complete blood testing and x-rays, enabling us to diagnose and monitor many medical conditions. We also have the ability to do complete urinalysis and parasite testing. We often send blood work to an outside laboratory for specialized diagnostic testing, and confer with specialists. Surgical Services: This includes anything from routine ovariohysterectomies (spay) and neuters to laceration and fracture repairs, bladder surgery, intestinal foreign body removals and amputations. All surgical patients receive intravenous fluids while in surgery. Our heated surgery table keeps pets warm during these procedures. Anesthesia: Veterinary medicine has come a long way in the last 20 years. We now use many of the same drugs that are used in human hospitals, ensuring greater safety for our pets. We also use monitoring equipment such as an ECG machine, pulse and blood oxygenation levels, and blood pressure monitoring. Preventive Health Care: This refers to all the things necessary to prevent disease, or catch it in the early stage. Examples are routine exams (twice a year!), vaccines, flea, tick and heartworm testing and prevention, routine fecal testing and deworming. Dentistry: We provide ultrasonic teeth cleaning and polishing, dental X-rays, and tooth extractions. Referral Services: There are many specialists now, just as in human medicine. We utilize these resources whenever necessary to provide the best possible care for your pet.
