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.

You're about to go for a swim when you notice the water:

❌ has a neon green, pea green or blue-green color;
❌ emits a bad odor; and
❌ is covered with foam, scum or a thick paint-like substance on the surface.

Summer is prime time for blue-green algae blooms at Nebraska's waterbodies. When health alerts for toxins are issued, people (and pets) are advised to stay out of the water.

Nebraska's beaches are regularly sampled for harmful algal blooms and E. coli throughout the summer. Find weekly updates here: https://brnw.ch/21wTlK9

Welcome Dr. Lauren West to Our Team!

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Lauren West as the newest associate veterinarian to our practice!

Dr. West grew up in West Omaha and graduated from Iowa State University in 2020. She earned her veterinary degree from Ross University, where she completed her pre-clinical training on the beautiful island of St. Kitts and Nevis before finishing her clinical year back at Iowa State.

This Friday, Dr. West will be flying to Miami to celebrate her official graduation from Ross University—congratulations, Dr. West!

She brings a genuine passion for veterinary medicine, with a focus on building strong relationships with clients and their pets. She’s especially driven by the challenge of problem-solving and finding the best ways to help animals live healthier, happier lives.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. West enjoys reading, listening to music, and snuggling with her black lab, Maverick.

We’re thrilled to have her on board—please join us in giving Dr. West a warm welcome!

Celebrating Jess for Veterinary Receptionist Week!

Jess joined the Val Verde Animal Hospital family as a client back in 2011, and we were lucky enough to have her officially join our team three years ago. She currently works part-time, rotating between veterinary receptionist and veterinary assistant on Saturdays—and no matter what hat she’s wearing, she brings positivity, passion, and a can-do attitude.

A true lover of dog training and all things Border Collie, Jess is a wealth of knowledge and always willing to jump in and help wherever needed. Her energy, dedication, and love for animals shine through in everything she does.

We’re so grateful for everything you do, Jess—thank you for being such an important part of our team!

A true advocate for dogs and a dedicated rescue helper, Chris is the best dog mom we know—and we’re pretty sure the pups agree!

Happy National Veterinary receptionist Week!
Today, we’re celebrating Abby – one of the kindest, most compassionate people we know. Abby jumped into her role as a veterinary receptionist with confidence, grace, and a natural talent for caring for both our patients and their people.

She’s incredibly bright and quick to learn, and even while balancing college and working toward her dream of becoming a veterinarian, she continues to give 100% every time she steps into the clinic.

Thank you, Abby, for your hard work, your warm heart, and your dedication to the animals we love. We’re so lucky to have you on our team!
