I just got a new stray cat recently, and we had to take him for all his vaccines and a check up. The front desk ladies were so sweet and because my cat was scared, they kept walking by and checking up on him. they also gave me a free bag of cat treats to congratulate me on getting a cat. The actual vet was also amazing. he went through everything very carefully and talked me through everything he was doing. my cat was very scared so he ended up having an accident in his carrier. which they took in the back and cleaned. he answered all questions that I asked in a way i could easily understand. I was then given flea medicine to take home at no cost at all, along with a couple squeezable treats. I was also given a folder with a ton of information about being a cat parent, including food I should be giving him and things that can possibly be toxic to them which i wouldn't know as this is my first cat. i'm definitely very happy with my experience and will continue to go here! read more

Everyone is friendly as long as you are spending money, the moment you ask for clarity or question them, they instantly turn.. Front desk, you couldn't get much ruder.. if you want to spend money with no results or explanations, go here..if you actually want good service for your pet, go elsewhere ! read more

I'm afraid I have to agree with several others who talked about how this vet practice has gone down hill over the years. When I first moved to Akron in 2015 this practice was staffed by the most knowledgeable and caring doctors and staff you could want. They truly cared about our fur babies and when one of them crossed the Rainbow Bridge, everyone would sign a sympathy card and express compassion for our loss. I so appreciated this! But since Dr. Manz retired a couple of years ago, it's become all about the bottom line. I'm sorry to say I'll be looking for a different veterinary practice to take my cats to from now on. read more

as of July 1 2025, they will no longer work with Chewy to send electronic approvals for any prescriptions. you have to come in for a written script and electronically scan it yourself to Chewy. this is a huge inconvenience for everyone. read more

When we first started going here, the people here were caring and personable, and they have become very cold and not about taking care of Our furry animal family, But all about the bottom line. On our 19 1/2-year-old dog who we loved dearly had to go home to the rainbow we were promised a bit of fur and which they lost and didn't care about said too bad. It's the mail he can't help that and I don't think that that's true at all. Their prices have been rising, and they've added a fee that has gone up twice in the past year to more than 20%. We have explained to them that we need help from them to work with us on costs, because we want to take care of our animal, to no avail. I'm sure there is some people who have money that they take care of quite well but if you are a regular middle-class citizen, you might want to look for a different vet one who cares about both the family and the pets they're caring for. This place does not . read more

Excellent doctors/technicians/desk staff. Busy hospital. All so sweet and gentle with my pets. Would not go anywhere else. read more

Outstanding veterinary practice with the best caring employees. Our dog loves them all!

I had taken my dogs to this practice for 25 years. The practice has since been sold and is NOT anything like its former self. My 'new' puppy was scheduled to be seen by Dr Fox. Dr Fox was moderately friendly and I was not sure of the vibe I had been feeling in the reception area either. When the practice was privately owned, they would burn candles and there was a candle placed to burn while a fur baby over the rainbow bridge and that had all been eliminated. Dr Fox took a stool sample and sent it out to a lab. This they use to do on site. When the lab results came back, some young man called me with the results and then told me that Dr Fox was not going to treat the puppy for the problem Well, what does this say? I WILL NEVER RETURN!! THEY ARE EXPENSIVE and WITHOUT COMPASSION!! It is the worst VET experience that I have had during my tenor with pets! Our fur baby is like our child who deserves the best of care and you cannot receive it here. Run to not just walk away from this practice. Also, it is way over PRICED! They deserve NO stars. I had to give it one star so this post could warn people and by the way I HEARD YOU Dr FOX! So next time you want to discuss a client you should take the time to step away from where they can hear you. You are rude and ignorant beyond belief. read more

they are great if you can get past the receptionist. Dr Manz and Ross are caring and great pet docs... But we've been told several times that we should takeoff work when it's convenient for them to see our dogs because they are too busy. I have also been told that medication prescribed by the doctor that are we not supposed to interrupt would have to wait 24 to 48 hours before to be filled. I would say that that's so great unfortunate that they have very uncaring people that work in their office and answer their phones (which by the way sometimes can take up to 30 minutes just to get ia call answered). Great ducks need better support. read more

We were clients of Dr Sands, so we've been going to Valley Animal for over 30 years. Dr Sands sold the practice to Dr Grguric who has changed the drastically the practice and not for the better. We loved Dr Meves & Dr Manz-they we're the ONLY reason we continued to go there. Meves retired unfortunately, but we kept going to see Dr Manz. Any time you take your pet there, you WAIT...and the waiting room is inadequate when they are clearing double-booking patients....feels like a factory. My dog got kennel cough even though he'd been vaccinated. First appointment to get him in:July 11th!!! Dr Manz kindly ordered an antibiotic for him & we scheduled follow up on July 11th. I received the call yesterday at 5:30pm...they close at 6pm. The young lady said "you can always pick it up tomorrow"....imagine my surprise when I arrive at 2:45pm & they're CLOSED for annual inventory. Doors locked...called the office-answering machine telling me they're closed. So my sick dog has to go another day w/o meds. I'm done. read more

I have had a dog almost my entire life and have visited a number of veterinarians over the years. The past few years we chose to go to Valley Animal Hospital and Dr. Grguric. We have never been so pleased with the care and attention given to our dogs. The moment you walk through the door the staff is courteous and kind to not only the animals (calling them by name) but to the owners as well. They even have a dry erase board decorated in a different pattern each day w/ the animals names who will be seen that day. This is the personal touch that makes our visits special. Dr. Grguric is patient with us as we "try" to describe what our dog is feeling or how they hurt themselves. He goes the extra mile to be sure he has checked all the problem areas- even some that aren't problem areas before he gives his diagnosis. Following the diagnosis or prognosis we get to go back to the reception area to pay and wait for any medications and the staff are extremely kind, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. I have and will continue to recommend Valley Animal Hospital to all my friends and family! read more

Valley Animal Hospital - We ALWAYS get the best care, best service, and knowledgeable professionals when we visit Valley Animal Hospital. - Veterinarians Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Dr. Manz is the best and I trust her completely. I love that I can call and ask questions and she personally calls me back. I drive 40 minutes to keep my dog with Dr. Manz. I highly recommend taking your pets to Valley Animal Hospital. read more

Nice place, nice friendly staff and the vet's are very knowledgeable and caring. I didn't give 5 stars because of the charges and prices. I get charged for an exam every time I go in there, even if it's lab work. They LOVE to make appts and will not tell you if your pet is due for shots or vaccines when your already there. They like to send you out the door and then call you a week later to tell you he's due for a shot so they can charge you for another office visit. Go for the staff but watch your pocketbook with them! read more

We have been clients here for 10 years and have always been extremely happy with them. We used both the vet services and would board there quite often, even making friends with the staff (my orange baby likes to give a tap as they would walk by). The doctors and staff are very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family. But I knew I had to write a review after we had to go through the most difficult thing a pet owner can when we had to have our cat put to sleep. They showed so much kindness and it really made his last moments so smooth and really peaceful. They made sure his last moments weren't ones of stress, but one of peace showed such deference to what I was about to go through. I've had to do this before at another animal hospital and here it was so different. When the staff shed tears, you know your family. Our pets are members of our family, and here they are part of theirs too. read more

The people here are incredibly nice and do a great job watching our pets when we go out of town.

We've been bringing all of our pets to Valley Animal Hospital for over a decade (since we've moved to the area). The staff is organized and takes their time with your furry friend. They are great about answering all of your questions. When we had to put down one of our senior Labs, they were very understanding and made the whole process as easy as possible for us. We appreciated their sensitivity. Their prices are pretty reasonable, too. Though I live part of the year in Florida, I bring my pup back to the Valley for all of her schedule-able check-ups. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! They're rude, incompetent and deserve zero stars on here! 1. They gave my dogs medicine to me and I went home. The pill bottle was labeled 75 mg which is the proper dosage, when I opened up the bottle the pills inside were labelled 100 mg. I of course did a quick internet search to find out they had in fact put the wrong pills in the wrong bottle. Due to their incompetency I decided to call them and explain the issue and tell them I wanted a refund which then leads us to the next issue. 2. When I went back for a refund and for them to give me the prescription on paper to take somewhere else to be filled they rudely told me "you can't get them at any other pharmacy". I said I KNOW I can get it elsewhere. So after some more arguing the pharmacist finally wrote the prescription and I DID get the medicine somewhere else even though I couldn't "get them at any other pharmacy" according to them. Which the pharmacy I went to was cheaper and put the correct pills in the correct bottle the first time! 3. They incorrectly diagnosed my dog with a thyroid issue...She actually had diabetes which she was diagnosed and treated for less than 3 weeks after her visit here. Their vet did not EVEN think to test her for diabetes, or mention it instead all he could ramble about was thyroid or Cushions disease. Given the dog was shaking, had cataracts which the vet specifically said "no she doesn't have cataracts" when we asked, I'd say he's as incompetent as their pharmacist... They're incompetent and extremely rude, specifically Dr. Meves. Possibly the other veterinarians are competent in the building but he almost costed us our dogs life by his incorrect groundless diagnosis. Their pharmacist also almost costed us her life with their negelence to check what pills they put in the bottle. I will never go back...and I will continue to post my review everywhere so people are aware! read more

All of the staff was very considerate and welcoming. They clearly all dearly love animals. Dr. Meves was patient with me as a concerned cat mom with a ton of questions. He obviously loves his job and cares about both animals and their pet parents! It's important as a veterinarian to remember you are also dealing with humans who need calming and reassurance. He made both my kitty and I feel better. The business is willing to work with emergencies and get you in as soon as possible. They were the only place that was willing to take us in when an emergency arose. This was my first visit and I will be coming here in the future for routine checkups and emergencies (although hopefully there will not be any) read more

The front desk people and vet techs are so amazing and nice (which I gave 2 stars for them). But one of the doctor was the rudest! He wouldn't let me talk while we were on the phone, didn't understand my question (because he kept cutting me off and interrupting me), then got frustrated with me because he didn't understand my question (again he kept interrupting me on the phone) and finally got fed up and said he was busy (which I understand but if he would of just listened in the first place the conversation wouldn't have lasted as long as it did) and promptly hung up on me. Then called my boyfriend not me to apologize. I understand that they are busy but if you can't have the patience to talk to your patients then it's a serious problem. Not taking my pet there any more!!!!! Told me my cat could wait till feb to get her teeth clean (this was in october) but by the time feb came she ended up loosing 3 teeth and told me her teeth were so dirty and gums were so red and all this was causing her pain. Tell me how this gets overlooked during a checkup that lasts about 45-30 but the rude doctor above can find a loose tooth in 15 mins and this entire time my cat could of been in pain. Thanks for the headache. read more

Best vet I have found in years! The hardest part of moving to a new city is a new vet and I am so glad to have found one as great as this!
