The Vet at West Valley Veterinary Hospital will always be my number 1 choice for my pets. I was super unfortunate to have my blue healer puppy contract parvo and this was the only vet that would take my puppy and allow me to make payments. He was amazingly kind and gave my puppy IV's and then great instructions to care for her. We made it through an enormously hard illness that could of been prevented but he never pointed fingers at me or gave me any bit of a hard time. He was only concerned for my pup and trying to help. He was extremely kind when no other clinic had time to take us. I was extremely lucky to find this kind Vet. We did find that the reason for her parvo was due to an idiot burying a dead deer head that she had dug up and got into. We are lucky she is alive. All of my pets go to Dr Meyers and he has always been kind, informative and very caring. I have found West Valley Vet Hospital staff to always be friendly and super caring. They're fees are normally always the lowest. Its no wonder they are always so busy but they find time for you! recommend 200% ! read more

West Valley Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Sheridan, Oregon

In Short: WVVH was good when Dr. Jennifer was there...years ago, and unfortunately it has not been the same since she left. The RANT: This review will start with my first experience with Dr. Meyer approx 4 years ago.... I had a 130 lb labrador who was aging but overall seemed healthy. Since it had been a while for a check up I took him to see Dr. Meyer, before he even assessed my lab he mentioned only his weight and how bad it was.... he took most of the appointment hyperfocused on my dogs size and nothing else. He will cut you off mid sentence, he disregards any other concerns. Felt that maybe it was just not a good match of a vet for us at the time. That dog lived another 2 years until he passed from cancer, in which we were seeing a new vet at that time. Side note: The next vet we used was not concerned at all for his weight as our lab was a large built dog and was also very active. Fast forward to our other dog (May 2024), rottweiler. Our senior rottweiler who just turned 8 years old had been healthy up until about 2 weeks before we made an apt with Dr. Meyer, he was rapidly loosing weight and refusing to eat. Our vet that we had been seeing didn't have an apt for a few weeks and I knew our rottie needed medical care sooner. Before going to emergency vet I figured I'd give Dr. Meyer one last chance. WORST MISTAKE EVER! If you want to know why you can get in within days of calling, there is a reason. We had a very mild tempered dog, and the second Dr. Meyer came through the door to assess his eyes widened and he stepped back "He's growling." When in fact at that point my dog was dry heaving from pulling his coar so hard (he was sorta excited to meet Dr. Meyer) He grabbed his hips, had us basically put our dog in a choke hold which did make our dog growl a bit. Said he couldnt assess his heart/lungs well because of his "barrel" chest, never checked his mouth (I was concerned for bad teeth), no temps/vitals. I'm someone who wants to know the best route and for a senior dog and my concern was comfort, Dr. Meyer "I DONT know what to tell you I cant see anything blood or x-ray and thats where you start" zero compassion, zero inquiry of what our intentions were.... I said I wanted pain controlled "Well, you can have pain meds, but that wont solve your problem." I asked what he would see/find on blood work or an XR (I wanted to know what the test covered, diabetes, cancer, tumor markers, blood counts etc) He wouldn't tell me anything but "I don't know." He doesn't take time (OR CARE) to clarify what the pet owner wants/concerns. We decided to go for a blood draw, he was more focused on getting a muzzle for our pup which we did. Drew blood, never gave us a turn around time, said he'd call us. Asked the front staff while paying when to expect results, "his machine is back there, we don't send them out." No call back, no concern. Dog was dead the next morning. I am not here to say my dog died as a result of Dr. Meyer but our concerns were downplayed, and what was our last appointment for our dog turned out to be a very negative experience. When we transported our rottie to our normal vet for cremation I received more insight on his health and what could've been the cause...more help than what Dr. Meyer provided. This vet does not like big dogs and talking with other community members that have taken their dogs in have said "He doesn't do well with large breed." He is the last doctor I would ever take my dog into and I should've remembered it from the last experience. Unless your dog is being euthanized he is not a pleasure to be around. His bedside manner is appalling. read more

This vet has always been awesome! If you could take your vet with you when you move, this is the one that I would choose. They treated a number of my dogs from nail trims to surgeries. Staff is friendly and my dogs loved to visit them. read more

I liked this veterinarian office when the lady vet worked there. The male Veterinarian is not nice to customers, patients or his own staff. He traumatized our dog. I didn't like the way he treated me or my animals. Wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

I am concerned that given the fact that pets CAN contract COVID19, that they don't wear masks at all times inside the clinic. I have gone to the door many times and seen the receptionist sitting behind the desk without a mask on and she only donns the mask when she sees me walk in. read more

"A hospital is an institution where the sick or injured are given medical or surgical care, as well as emergency care." This place is not a pet hospital. I called around to all 3 emergency clinics all night and the wait was anywhere from 10-16 hours, so in conjunction with that I was waiting for hours for this place to open and see if they were available. Called the second they opened. Immediately put off by whoever was answering phones at the front desk. Her tone was horrible and she sounded like she'd rather be anywhere else. Apparently, they only see surgery cases (dental cleanings) and pets who made appointments 3+ weeks out. They have no doctors available there who care for pets, or can make any room for a dog who needs medical attention urgently. It's crazy to me how many people are in the business of "pet care" and can't take 30 minutes out of their day to asses a pet if the pet doesn't fit into their agenda, even if the client is willing to wait ALL day. I walk by this place often while walking the dogs since I live down the street, and the parking lot is ALWAYS empty. No matter what time of day it is from 8 am - 5 pm. Unless you can predict your dog hurting themselves 3 weeks in advance, this is not the place for you. :-) This is a place that cares more for clocking out for lunch on time vs giving your pet urgent care (like hospitals do). We just moved out to this area away from a wonderful vet, and am realizing it's extremely rare to find an animal clinic that actually cares about pets. The woman on the phone rushed me off, had no sympathy or desire to try and work anything out, and was just unpleasant. I would recommend making the drive out to Newberg to Family Pet Clinic. They are amazing, and flexible depending on the severity of the pet. The people there CARE about pets. Years ago, I've even had a vet there not go on lunch right away so she could squeeze my pet in because she had hurt herself. It's worth the drive if you can get out there. Obviously it's not ideal, but they put pets FIRST. read more

We have been going here for years. With 4 animals we are frequent visitors. I love that they know our babies personally. When it was time to say goodbye to our old guy they cried with us as he loved them so much. They take our concerns seriously. They try to keep things cost effective while giving the best care. They were not afraid to treat our puppy who had parvo when other vets wouldn't even allow her in their door. Now she is a happy 2 year old. read more

I have never had such loving care from a veterinarian in my life. The doctor is just amazing. She's so gentle. My dog was kicked by a deer and had a loose tooth and a bruised hip. It was rough. The doctor was super loving and didn't charge me extra for anything unnecessary. She's a class act. Thank you. :) read more

The doctors at West Valley Veterinary Hospital are great. From the moment they walk in the room you can tell the animal is the most important being in the room. The doctors and staff are friendly and caring. When we had to let one of our dogs "go", they explained the process, tended to not only Quincy's needs but mine as well. He went very peacefully. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I will definitely recommend these people to my friends. read more

Horrible. They offered to do a surgery to save my girlfriends cat for no charge instead of her having to put her down, but only on the condition she sign over the cat because the surgeon wanted her. read more

I absolutely love the staff and care my pets receive.. Great affordable prices. Highly recommend

My uncle took his dog in for a small open wound on his paw. They advised him to do tests to make sure that the dog would be ok under anesthesia. The results came back that the dog was healthy. They stitched Diablo and a week later he took Diablo back to fix one stitch. They called my uncle and said Diablo died. They charged him to release the dog and had no answers for him. This place is the horrible and should not have a license. Do not take your pet here if you want them to live! James Meyers and Jennifer choate should be closed down! read more

these are very caring vets they really help make me well. really nice humans. read more

I took my 13 year old diabetic cat in for a dental in August of 2016. He had bad breath and several bad teeth, some needed to be removed. The price for this was reasonable, but the cat came home panting and drooling. I've had cats 45 years and never saw this before from a dental. To make things worse, the cat still has the awful bad breath he had when I took him in!! Now I'm scared to take him back there and want a different vet to see him, in McMinnville. I should not have to pay for more work on this cat, but if I do, it won't be there! read more

the best vet i've visited. my dying kitty was treated with compassion and kindness. i'm taking my new kitty, walter, to be neutered. we're lucky to have a good doctor. read more

I have been using this veterinary clinic since 1996. I think Dr. Meyer is very thorough and gives you your best options. He actually waived his fee on my dog so I could afford the orthopedic surgeons fees in lieu of my having to put my guy down due to the cost of the surgery. And then he boarded him for 2 months for almost nothing to make sure he didn't damage the plate the surgeon had put in his leg. Above and beyond! Highly recommend him. They also take Care Credit which is very helpful. read more
