Val Verde Animal Hospital

Val Verde Animal Hospital Your pet is an important part of your family, and our veterinarians and staff are ready to provide your pet with cutting edge veterinary medical care.

From wellness exams and routine vaccines to advanced diagnostics and complex surgical procedures, your pet will receive the highest quality of care at our hospital. Our patients include just about every kind of small animal and pocket pet, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats. Val Verde Animal Hospital is a full service animal hospital specializing

in personalized care; client education is heavily emphasized. We want to be able to answer clients' questions to help them better care for their pets. We don't believe in the concept that only the doctor needs to know the details, it is the owner/family member who has to make the critical decisions about their family's most important companions. We take the time that is needed to do a thorough exam, answer your questions and cover available treatment options.There's nothing more important to us than taking good care of your four-legged family member. Of course, we can get you in and out in record time, too, if that is what your schedule requires.

🐾 Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week (April 19–25)! 🐾

This week, all of us at Val Verde Animal Hospital are celebrating the incredible veterinary receptionists who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes—and right at the front desk.

Whether you’re stopping in for an appointment, picking up medications, or calling with questions, they are the friendly faces and calming voices ready to help. They’re the coordinators, the problem-solvers, and often the first ones to comfort both pets and their people during stressful moments.

Their compassion, patience, and dedication never go unnoticed—especially when they go above and beyond to support families and their beloved pets.

Join us this week in showing a little extra appreciation for the amazing work they do every single day. We are so grateful for everything they bring to our team! 💙🐶🐱

🐾 National Dog Bite Prevention Week 🐾

At Val Verde Animal Hospital, your pet’s safety—and your family’s—is always our priority. Dog bites are preventable, and understanding canine behavior is the first step in keeping everyone safe.

🐶 Know the signs: Dogs often give subtle warnings before they bite. Watch for stiff body posture, growling, showing teeth, or avoiding eye contact.

👧 Teach children safe interactions:
• Always ask before petting a dog
• Avoid hugging or climbing on dogs
• Never disturb a dog while eating or sleeping

🦴 Support your dog’s comfort:
• Provide proper socialization and training
• Keep vaccinations up to date
• Give your dog a safe, quiet space when they feel overwhelmed

❤️ Even the most loving dogs can bite if they feel scared or stressed. Respect, supervision, and education go a long way in preventing incidents.

If you have questions about behavior or training resources, our team is here to help!

Happy National Pet Day from all of us at Val Verde Animal Hospital! 🐾💚

Today we celebrate the pets who make our lives brighter, fuller, and so much more meaningful. From wagging tails and gentle purrs to goofy antics and unconditional love—our pets truly are family.

Whether you have a playful puppy, a cuddly cat, or a unique companion, today is all about them. Take a moment to spoil them a little extra, go for that walk, share that treat, or simply spend some quality time together.

We’re so grateful to be a part of your pets’ lives and care. Thank you for trusting us with your furry (and not-so-furry) family members!

Drop a photo of your pet below—we’d love to celebrate them with you! 🐶🐱🐾

Happy National Hug Your Dog Day from all of us at Val Verde Animal Hospital! 🐾💕

Today is the perfect reminder to slow down and soak up those extra snuggles with your furry best friend. Whether they’re your hiking buddy, couch companion, or the one who greets you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it’s only been 5 minutes), dogs truly make our lives better in every way.

A gentle hug, a belly rub, or even just sitting close can mean the world to them. Just remember—every dog shows love differently, so always respect their comfort and body language when giving those hugs!

Drop a photo of your pup in the comments—we’d LOVE to see all those happy faces! 🐶💙

We are absolutely smitten with this fluffy little visitor 🐾💛

Meet Koda, a gorgeous Akita puppy who stole all our hearts the moment he walked through the door. We don’t get to see Akita puppies very often, so this was such a special treat for our team!

Welcome to Val Verde Animal Hospital, Koda — we can’t wait to watch you grow! 🐶✨

For those that may have seen a post from a Felicia Todd trying to sell Val Verde Animal Hospital Labeled clothing and other imprinted products, this was a fake advertisement and had nothing to do with our clinic or advertising. It has been removed and reported to FB / META as fraudulent. Bottomline is do not order anything from that site if it ever shows again. Otherwise it has been removed.

🐾 If Pets Had Thumbs Day 🐾

If our pets had thumbs… let’s be honest, nothing would ever be the same 😂

🐶 Dogs would:
• Open the treat jar themselves (and never close it)
• Text you while you’re at work: “I need snacks. Urgently.”
• Drive themselves to the park and somehow still be late

🐱 Cats would:
• Lock us out of rooms on purpose
• Leave us on “read” when we call them
• Use thumbs strictly for chaos

From opening doors to stealing snacks and running the household, thumbs would officially make your pets unstoppable 💪🐾

Luckily for now, they still need us—for treats, belly rubs, and vet visits ❤️

Happy If Pets Had Thumbs Day from all of us at Val Verde Animal Hospital!

👇 Tell us… what would your pet do first if they suddenly grew thumbs?

🎉🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RENEE! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of the biggest hearts in our clinic! Renee is truly the kind of person who makes a lasting impact on everyone she meets. We first met her while she was fostering for one of our partner rescues, and from that moment on, she has been such an incredible foundation for our clinic and our team.

Renee is always willing to listen for as long as you need, and in the middle of even the busiest, most stressful days, she’s the first to offer a hug, kind words, and encouragement. Her compassion, warmth, and unwavering support make our clinic a better place every single day.

We are so incredibly lucky to have her and grateful for everything she does. 💕
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Renee, and many, many more to come! 🎈✨
