I was so pleased with each and every person that works at Valley Veterinary Hospital when I took my cat KoKo before she passed away. Months later I got a new kitty and I made sure I went back to Valley Veterinary Hospital. They have been so loving and caring to my kitty Penny Ann. I would never take my animal to any other place and all I can say is thank you for the love and care you give these animals. Read Less

Dr Gil and his staff were amazing and I really felt like they cared about my furbaby Micah. I was seen almost immediately, and really felt like they all really cared about not just my cat, but were kind and patient with me as well. They were open and honest about prices and costs (which were very VERY reasonable), and not pushy at all about additional services. The lab work came back the same day, and I was immediately called and explained the results, instead of waiting until the following day, so I didn't have to worry all night. I will be taking all my furbabies here in the future to be in their responsible hands! They are just incredible people. Read Less

I took my dog my moms dog and my mother In laws dog here to get neutered they kept all three over night and all three of them just passed from parvo all within 1-2 weeks It’s dissapointing that this veterinary hostipal won’t take any responsibility for their actions, my family is in pain right now because we all lost our healthy 6 month old vibrant babies all because they didn’t take precautions to keep all dogs who are healthy separated from the dogs that were compromised, I hope they learn a lesson and are able to clean thier holding kennels properly in order not to infect other dogs fresh out of surgery.

I bring All of my dogs and cats here. Have for years. I have never had a problem of any sorts. I will continue to bring them here and any future animals I may get. My animals mean the most to me. Nothing bad to say!! Read Less

I was told my animal lab results would be in on Friday. I called them, they said Saturday or Monday. I called Saturday, no results. On Monday, they said the vet was off. Fill in vet nor anyone else could tell, if my pet was ok. They did NOT care about my worry/stress about my pets health. No apology when they called Tuesday, for how long it took. Read Less

I took my two kittens today to get spayed; the last time I took a cat there everything went well and I got an update call from the clinic before 8 pm. It is after 10 pm and I have not heard from the clinic--this situation I can only describe as a nightmare! I don't know what has happened to my little girls! This is pure hell and there is no one I can call at this time! Their emergency clinic told me that they are not connected to Valley Veterinary Hospital. Very unprofessional and they will put me through hell for the remainder of this terrible night! Read Less

This place holds vaccination clinics twice a week which makes it super easy and affordable to care for your pet. It isnt the fanciest place in town but the staff appear to be knowledgeable and compassionate. Read Less

I brought my dog here to get spayed this past weekend and they did a great job! I was able to get an appointment within a few days of calling to inquire. Their spay fee was about $100 less than my regular vet which I was really happy about as well as 30 miles closer! I brought her first thing Friday morning, they told me they would call me later in the afternoon to let me know how she was doing and I would be able to pick her up the next morning.They called me around 3:00 that afternoon to let me know she was recovering nicely and if I wanted to pick her up before closing so she would be more comfortable at home they would wait for me. I brought her home and put her to sleep, she was a little out of it but by the next afternoon she was as good as new! I couldn't believe how fast she recovered. You wouldn't believe she just had surgery the day before. No complications whatsoever. Everyone there was very nice and professional...I think I found my new vet! Read Less

Dr. Gil and the staff here are so helpful. Even though its been more that a year since our last dog died they remember us when we brought in our adopted dog. Dr. Gil even took my call on his day off today. I'm so blessed to have these wonderful people here to help! Read Less

So far my only experience has been more negative than positive. I'm an RN and have worked intensive care for 30+years and I know that basic medicine is the same human VS animals. I brought my cat in a few weeks ago and it's too detailed to tell the whole story but they attempted to make it appear he went into cardiac and respiratory arrest and that they were resuscitating him and I am absolutely positive that what they were doing was not keeping him alive while they wanted me to decide what to do. I told them to stop because he was already dead anyway. They were going to draw blood so we could tell if the infection was something I needed to worry about regarding my other cats. They never got back to me but charged 200$ to do a blood culture. Anyway...I'm taking another cat tomorrow am to be neutered surely they can handle that! I'm watching them like CRAZY...and I'll report them this time. To whom I'm not sure but I'll figure it out. I have several stray and ferrel cats out at my house and they supposedly offer great prices for spay/neuter. So I'm going to try and bring one in ever few weeks to get their population under control. Prices are reasonable so I'm willing to just watch closely. HOWEVER...everything better go damn right! Read Less

Everyone seemed to be very nice. However, I feel they took advantage of the fact that I didn't state I was on a limited budget. I asked them to take off a few of the items on the medication list and that I didn't think I needed and they basically said that I absolutely needed them to jumpstart the other medication. So $395 later and a dog that has parasites. I truly thought he was being poisoned because he was excreting blood in his stool, so that to me was priceless to know he wasn't being poisoned. Unfortunately not to my husband. Read Less

I've gone here for the last 5 years. And I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Gill and the crew are top of the line. They show love and compassion and most importantly they remember who you are. Thanks guys! Read Less

Thank you Dr. Gill and staff for taking such good care of my sons cat Andy, he loves his cat so much and we could tell that Dr. Gill is a.caring and kind Veterinarian much appreciated. Once again Thank you Dr. Gill Read Less

I've brought all my fur kids here and they have always been kind and courteous. My family has gotten all of their spay and neutering done here as well. Our pets are always well taken care of. I seen another review about a cat and not being able to pick it up because they couldn't pay the charges. They inform you BEFORE any procedure is done to let you know how much it'll be and then you have to agree to get it done. It's completely the owners fault in that situation. Read Less

I took my cat to this vet to be neutered and was called when they had her in surgery and told and they said she had worms and few other things that needed to be taken care and did I want them to take care of it. Well,of course I did. When it came to the bill I asked if I could make payments. I had enough money for the neutering and could I please make a payment in a few weeks. The manager told me that they don't take payments she asked me if i could pay $300 something and I said no I don't have that kind of money now. The office manager said they would keep her at $20 a day. That does not fix the problem that you are charging an exorbitant amount in the end . How can I save to get her when the cost keeps going up and up. They would keep her until I could come up with the rest of the money.I told them I can't pay that much it would take time. She said that was ok and they would keep her for as long as needed yes at 20 dollars a day.. HOW DO I GET AHEAD OF THAT? Everyday more is added. Why wouldn't you take payments? I could have my Pinkie and you would paid by now for the operation. WHY did you turn this into a grab for money. Because I am poor and elderly doesn't mean I am stupid.I am still having a hard time understanding so much greed.I need my cat I love her and she loves me,I need her to be beside me. Why do you treat me like this.Surely you have enough clients that you wouldn't have to treat an elderly woman this way. I wish I could here from you today but I am pretty sure that won't. I want my cat now! I haven't checked the Better Business Bureau or any other organization yet but I think, maybe, there should be some warning of what might happen,, the most important thing to you is money and not animal love. My bill is so high there because you won't take payments. By that statement you are saying I am untrustworthy and my cat is not worth that trust either. When she does, I LOVE HER! AND i NEED HER.!! This will be posted on my son's name. My Name is Linda Mitchell: 6812070. we will be picking Pinkie up today, if my son gets home on time or tomorrow for sure. Why couldn't you have taken a few payments, this would all be over by now? I will not be singing your praises.I think your policies too harsh for some things and money is the bottom line animals,can suffer, and so can owners. Sincerely, Linda Mitchell .Read Less

I recently took Cheena "my poodle" to get neutered and they told me that she would have to stay over night. My dog panics easily when she's left alone even when I take her to the groomers so I knew she wouldn't be able to stay over night.. So I asked them if it would be possible to have her release the same day. And they said they would try their best.. Which they did. They let her out the same day. The girls that work there are really nice and helpful they really do care for our pets. They called me a few days later after the surgery to see if Cheena was doing okay. Today I went back to get her last shot and it was a great visit. Don't listen to the people that talk bad about this place.. It's really good and low cost to keep our pets healthy. (The charge for neutering is based on the weight of your dog) Read Less

They see all my cats and dogs and have always been extremely courteous and the care my pets have received was exemplary. They did their best with my cat Apollo when he developed kidney disease and they worked with me on payments. They comforted me when Apollo passed and they have a customer for life in me. Read Less

Been taking my pets here for 16 years and love it. This place is awesome. The vets and staff are so kind and helpful. Had my dog put to sleep and they were so kind. They made me so comfortable though my hard time. Prices are very fair also..... Thank you so much for helping our animals Read Less

Misleading we found out that our pets are left overnight unattended for up to 14 hours depending on what time they leave for the day. We just picked up our Rottweiler and she was coverd in feces! The staff was rude and non receptive!  Never go here!!!Update: We had to take our rottweiler to a pet hospital.  We found out the meds they use during surgery  are inhumane!  My god they used Telazol with pain meds to operate!  Telazol is use to paralyze our dog! That meens she was awake people AWAKE! SHE FELT EVERYTHING!!!!! DONT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! Read Less

I don't know if people realize this, but Modesto Spay and Neuter is the same facility as Valley Veterinary Hospital (which has more stars...) SO I will post my review of them under both MS&N and VVH.They do regular vet stuff, not just spaying and neutering animals.  They charge $30 for an office visit, plus extra to fix your animals' particular problem if need be.  There are no appointments, only walks ins, so get there either at 9 when they open or at 2 after lunch break.  When I went the wait was about 15 mins, there were two animals ahead of me. They fixed my cat and gave me great detailed advice about her diet and general health. My total cost was $55 for the check up and procedure, the whole thing took less than an hour.  They also gave me an estimate for my cat having surgery for $315 ($125 without biopsy).  Idk how that compares to other local vets, but I thought I would just throw that info out there in case it helps anyone.  Very clean and budget friendly, personable staff, nothin fancy (you wouldn't go there for the ambiance, but it's not scary or anything).  I would totally bring my cat there again! Read Less

I LOVED this place.  I brought my precious, little baby (4lb Chihuahua) to be neutered and was quite frankly a wreck about it.  The girls were sooo nice to me and patient with me.  They explained everything to me, kept me calm, answered all of my questions, tolerated ALL of my silliness/panic attacks -- even told me it was "normal" for me to feel that way and that a lot people are that way with their pets.  I was even able to leave a blanket, shirt I slept in and her favorite toy for her to sleep with!Cost wise I have to say they were far less $$$ than many other Vets I called and 1/2 the price of the Vet my dad uses (Village Oak Veterinary Hospital).  I decided to get her teeth cleaned while she was already under general anesthetic and I still ended up paying $150 less than what my dads Vet was going to charge me and they do not keep the dogs overnight.  My dad decided to change Vets after that :)I just can't say enough nice things about this place!  I treat my baby as if I gave birth to her, yes I am one of "those" people! (never thought I would be, but I am)  The staff is fantastic, they take their time with you and take excellent care of your precious family members.  They do not price gouge you in the process.

I am writing this review in hopes of helping future patients and current or potential animals from being harmed. I have a female kitten who underwent a kitten plan at the Modesto Valley Veterinary Hospital. I paid nearly close to $300.00 dollars and received horrible service every time, the last nearly fatal. When I picked up my kitten from being spayed the office manager by the name of Susan told me that I was to give .70 ml of Hi-Vite with Torbugesic to my kitten once every 12 hours.?I get home and at 9:00 a.m. I gave my kitty the medication as instructed by mouth. I then once more look at the bottle and notice that the bottle was intended for another patient! The label on the bottle had the owners full name and their pet's name on it along with their client and patient ID numbers. I quickly called the office back and told them of what happened and they told me that I should have given her .50 ml and not .70ml but she will be fine just a little more drowsy than normal. They told me if I wanted I could come back there and they would put another label on the bottle if I would like. ( I was upset by the little concern she had when I told her that it was someone else's name on the label and that it was intended for another patient. I could have killed my cat if by chance this was not the correct medication even though the dosage amount was incorrect. The lady had patronized me by acting like the problem was over a sticker that she could just slap on if I wanted so badly to be done.) I tried calling the office later that evening to report this incident and the office manager Susan was the only one that I was able/ allowed to talk to. In the end she just asked me basically how she could do her job better and told me that she is assuming that I will no longer have my kitten as a patient there and that she will inactivate our account. This office would rather get rid of business and cover up their own mistakes instead of trying to keep it. I once more expressed to her that it is upsetting to have to undergo the entire process (kitten plan) to the end due to being locked in a non refundable contract only at the end being able to express your upmost concern and disappointment for lack of common sense. I once more told her that fortunately this time the medication was the right medication although they need to have tighter reins because next time they might not be that lucky.? The horrible part about it all is that they really don't care and they just mark your name off their sheets and cover up their own messes without being held responsible as if you were only another name and number. I am highly upset due to having paying nearly $300.00 dollars for such terrible service and almost had a tragedy as the outcome. All in all I took this kitten in to our home as a stray, tried to do the right humane thing and take care of her needs medically and give her love and good health. In the end she could have died do to all of this. That is the horrible irony of it all. This could happen to someone else?s beloved family member / pet if it hasn?t already. I just want some awareness brought out of this as I see that this is the only justice that my kitten will be able to receive and it is something that she would want done as well. Please beware of the terrible service and the lack of concern they have for you and your loved one. They focus and care solely about your money. -Concerned citizen of Modesto CA and owner of a loving kitten Read Less

We recently adopted a puppy from a rescue. It felt good that we were trying to do our small part by adopting from a rescue to help with unwanted animals. We noticed the day after we brought the puppy home he had loose stool and it progressively got worse. So after two days I took him to Valley Vet and because it was Friday I had my 4 year old grandson with me that I babysit on Fridays. The puppy tested positive for the parvo virus. I was really upset. They quarantined us in a room and we were not allowed to come out. I had to open the door and stick my head out to talk to them. After a couple of questions they told me, again, to stay in the room and not come out, which I hadn't. And even though they told me they were going to treat the whole place with a bleach solution when we left, we still weren't allowed to come out. However, they did make sure to come in and collect payment, $74 dollars. When the vet came in she was uncaring, unsympathetic and very matter of fact. She informed me the puppy had a 50/50 chance to live if he was hospitalized, but they were not set-up for that, which she repeated several times. So we were on our own to find a veterinarian hospital that did. I had to ask if she could recommend one, she said maybe she could think of two. She would have the girls out front get that for me. They didn't. She handed me a print-out of parvo, but didn't have time to answer any questions. Like, can my grandson contract this? I realize the seriousness of parvo, that a puppy or dog could die, but didn't know the details. They were all extremely unsympathetic, uncaring, and rude. As we left, no one said goodbye, good luck, we are so sorry, nothing. We were treated as if we had leprosy, myself and my grandson. I will never go there again and I will tell everyone I know how they treated us. Read Less

The place is conveiantly priced and they do a good job on the surgeries. I usually appreciate a place with a little more decor and ambiance but I suppose they would have to raise their prices for that so I can do without. What matters is that they do a good job and my dog was already running the day after surgery. I was charged 95 for a weimaraner 70lbs. That was very reasonable compared with the 245 my regular vet wanted. This is the place for a fair priced spay or neuter!! Read Less

Horrible experience. I saved a dog that was malnourished and had his shots at the clinic. Then I scheduled an appointment for my dog to be neutered, microchipped and a skin tag removed. They day before the surgery they called and rescheduled. I had already explained the dog had x-rays, blood work etc. and was in good health and that I had the vaccinations done at their clinic to save a little money. They said no problem we will see him at 10:00am on 7/7/11. My girlfriend took him in. The receptionist tried to act like the dog was not seen at the clinic and that paperwork needed to have been brought in -when we had already been told to bring the dog in. My girlfriend was berated. I called and talked to that office manager who accused me of bringng the dog in for the same treatment he had with the other vet-hello I had explained I spent $480.00 on dog bills and was trying to save money on vaccinations which is why I had him vaccinated in their office. Obviously he had not been neutered -he still has his testicles! Very rude and unprofessional. A complete waste of my time. Two wasted visits and lost time from work. The girls in the office are complete airheads. These people don't even act like they care or want to help the animals..Robert Read Less

I've been going there ever since Dr. Tilleman has been there and it's changed.I brought my pets and my friends have brought their pets there for surgery and it's just not that good. My female dog keeps going into heat still, and it's been a long time since surgery, and sometimes they have had their incisions get infected with their lamp shades on! They also don't require vaccines, so that means that your pets aren't protected either. You might as well go to American Pet Hospital because they don't require vaccines either, they're the same cost and you don't have to leave your pet there overnight to risk more contamination. Read Less

Price was about $75 to spay our little Fifi and I think about $35 or so for the microchip. Check in/drop off was fast, and they kept her overnight, which was a relief so that I didn't have to watch her during the night. When she came out in the morning, she was walking on her own and pretty much back to normal! No extra meds were required, and a plastic cone wasn't even needed. She healed completely within about a week. Totally recommend this place! Read Less

Our cat was having some issues that needed to be attended to immediately. We were informed that we would need to get x-rays, blood tests, etc. for the cat and it would cost over $250 just to see what might be the problem. Then we wanted to get an estimate on what surgery might be if she needed it. No one would give us a direct answer as to any costs that would be incurred. It is common practice to have prices for procedures of this nature, and they should be given up front. We kept getting the run around and the dr. kept sending in an assistant to deal with the pricing, but they still wouldn't give us a direct answer. So we walked out the door with our cat and our money and have taken her somewhere else. What happened to Dr. Tilleman? Won't go back to this place again, I don't know what happened to it, but even x-rays for a human don't cost $250. Give me a break. Read Less

The vet did not even touch my dog. When I brought him for not eating, she stood on the other side of the room not even near him. Plus the exam room i was in was filthy, you could see the layers of dirt. Read Less

I would recommend this clinic for the great pricing. The cost to spay our small dog was $75. Our own vet office quoted me $230-250! The staff seems extremely nice and the office is clean. Our pup is recovering well and didn't need any extra meds or follow up visits. My only complaint about Modesto Spay & Neuter Clinic is the wait time to check in on surgery day.  We waited about an hour before getting to the counter to check in. I understand this is a high-volume clinic but maybe they need to add someone to the front desk. Read Less

I have been taking my cats to this place for at least 12 + years and have had numerous cats I took. Yesterday my 8 year old female cat was scooting her bottom and there was from it plus when she used her litter box there was in the stool so I loaded her up and took her in immediately to the vet and the vet could not look at her because she is siamese and a bit of a hand full so I took her back the next moring so they could put her under anesthesia and look at her. I took her at 9 am and at 230 that afternoon I called and they had just put her under. They had wrestled with her for hours before trying to handle her without the anesthesia and I had told them they could not work on her without it and even agreed to the cost of it then the doctor waited for ever to call me back. I have called 2 times and still waiting to hear from the vet. There is a new vet and he is not good with animals at all it seems he just wants money and the prices have went up alot. This vet is not user friendly and I will never go there again. I have numerous times referred people there but that will never happen again as well. I am just sorry that I took my lilttle girl there and she had to suffer at the hands of Dr Bennet. My cat had not eaten when I took her and she was starving and it was my understanding that they were gooing to put her under right away but then was told that the surgeon will not come in until the afternoon. So my cat set in her tiny carrier starving with no water and no place to toilet. She is not a people friendly cat and becomes extremly stressed in a new environment with people she dont know. As well they are going to leave her overnight with no one there to check on her all night after waiting until late afternoon to sedate her. This is ridiculous. Dr Tilleman never treated us that way and I will never return to valley veterinarian again under any circumstances. Read Less

I like it here, I've taken many dogs and a cat here whilst doing some rescue work. They're no-nonsense, so they may seem a little frosty, but one has to bear in mind the DROVES of stupid people they deal with on a daily basis ("I didn't know that if it smelled bad that meant it was infected".  I can only imagine...I'll always bring my animals to them, I've had at least six dogs spayed or neutered through them and never had an issue. Read Less

I completely agree with my twin sister on this (shocking, I know) but seriously folks, Modesto Spay & Neuter is SO great- I never knew what a great place it was until I moved out of Modesto.My family has taken literally ever animal that has crossed our path (minus the goat- don't ask) here for shots, check-ups, and minor surgeries (re: tater is now toothless). I even took my kittens here before I knew they would be mine (I agreed to take them to get them checked out for a neighbor who found them- but I fell in love and kept them).They are SO reasonable here, very similar to humane society rates- they even have clinics for spays/neuters several times a month for like $20- or even free sometimes! AWESOME! I have since gone to several other vets that seriously price gouge and really miss the honesty and loyalty of the personnel at Modesto Spay & Neuter Read Less

My family has been taking our beloved pets here for as long as I can remember.  The service staff and medical professionals are all so attentive and kind, I really feel like they genuinely care about me and my animal instead of just going through the motions.You don't have to make an appointment to be seen, which is convenient but be prepared to wait if you come early in the morning because it's usually busy.A few weeks ago, I found out my baby Tater Tot needed some dental work done after a routine trip to the vet for some shots.  I wasn't prepared to have to shell out a bunch of cash for dog dental care (I was moving to China in a few days, after all), and the vet was totally willing to work with me on the cost and really went out of their way to make the price as minimal as possible. I dropped the Tot off in the morning and he had to stay over night after a mid-day surgery.  I called the vet at 5 p.m. because I hadn't heard from their office all day and I wanted to see how the pup was doing. The doctor called me back within 30 minutes and was so sweet and explained the procedure and everything she did.  She really went out of her way to put me at ease, and even though I am 100% positive she had a ton of stuff to do, she did not rush the conversation at all and talked to me for nearly 20 minutes on the phone.This is the only place in the 209 that I would trust to take good care of Tater, no matter what the procedure!
