It's not every day we get to spay a pig, especially not one as sweet as Hazel here!
Miss Hazel has since returned home and her owners say she is doing fabulous!
We are so happy to announce the newest member of our team here at Valley Vet, welcome aboard Brittany! If you bring in any horses you might see her out in the barn assisting our large animal Veterinarians, but she also has quite the passion for small animals. She graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a licensed veterinarian technician and has been working in the field for about 8 years. She has her own dogs and horses at home and loves to take them out trail riding whenever she finds the time. If you see her, say hello!
A big thank you to Frye Painting, Inc. for doing such an awesome job on the building. The stain on the pillars and building looks great and it didn't interrupt our day-to-day operations :)
Happy 11th birthday to Piper! This sweet girl came in for her yearly wellness visit today, and her owner made sure her bandana reflected her special day! Thank you Jennifer for letting us snap this picture, make sure she gets an extra slice of cake on us!
What special treats do your dogs get on their birthdays? let us know in the comments!~ :)
Beware the ostrich bone! If a treat is too hard for you to press your finger nail into, it's too hard for your dog to chew. Always monitor your dog when they are chewing on their toys, and throw away anything they break.
Thank you Marla for letting our receptionists meet the mighty but tiny Thelma and Louise! If you or someone you know are in the market for an adorable orange kitten (or two!) check out
We have a limited supply left of Frontline Gold and it's going quickly! Frontline is an over the counter product that does not require a prescription.
Do you ever wonder what happens back in the treatment area when we are prepping animals for surgery? While Dr. Sackett-Fleming shaves the area with a set of clippers, her assistant Hannah keeps the patient distracted with attention and scratches!
Dear clients,
Effective June 22, Valley Veterinary Hospital will not have regular lobby hours or veterinary appointments every other Saturday. These are the Saturdays that Ellensburg Animal Hospital provides weekend on call coverage. Between 5pm Friday and 8am Monday of these weekends, you will get our after hours recording, which allows you to be routed to the on-call doctor for emergencies, or to leave prescription requests or other non urgent messages.
We will continue to stay open on the Saturday mornings that our hospital provides weekend on- call coverage. We will also be accommodating regular wellness appointments for small animals, as well as urgent care appointments for small and large animals, from 8am until noon.
Please see our website for more details on after hours emergency information.
Sincerely,
The Staff and Doctors at Valley Veterinary Hospital and Cascade East Animal Clinic
Coming to the vet can be stressful for more than just your cat! We know how frustrating it can be bring your cat in after you FINALLY catch them, only for the visit to be cut short because your cat is not in the mood to be handled by our staff. This list of tips comes directly from staff members who have a passion for cats, so hopefully some or all of these tricks can ensure your cat has a stress free, and thorough exam. (All cats pictured below are the personal pets of Techs, Assistants, and other staff members!)
We are proud to announce that Dr. Willet is now offering echocardiogram scanning and remote cardiologist consultations! We know that these sort of diagnostics can be difficult to obtain in the valley, and for that reason we here at Valley Veterinary Hospital have invested in updated training, equipment, and software. This service will only be offered at Valley Veterinary Hospital. For appointments call our office at (509) 925-6146.
Nexgard isn't just for the dogs anymore! As the weather warms up and we all begin spending more time outside, make sure that your pets are protected from the most common pests we see in the valley. Unlike Nexgard made for dogs, Feline Nexgard is a topical treatment that does more than kill fleas & ticks; it also deworms them. Remember for any new medications / or refills, we need ~24 hours notice to get these ready for you. Give our office a call today at (509) 925-6146
Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming but that also means noxious weeds are popping up all over our yards and pastures. Every year around this time, our office gets calls about livestock ingesting these plants. While some are more notorious than others, this is the list that our veterinarians have come up with as being the most common culprits of these calls in Ellensburg. For more information about noxious weeds in Ellensburg, please visit the city website: https://www.co.kittitas.wa.us/noxious-weeds/default.aspx
And for owners of pregnant mares, pay close attention to mustard plant. This plant has been shown to cause birth defects in foals. For more information about this please visit https://extension.wsu.edu/animalag/content/mustards-a-concern-for-horse-owners/
Did you know that when our Veterinarians graduate from school, they take an oath before they begin working with your animals? From small animals like cats and dogs, all the way up to horses and cows, we vow to treat them with respect and compassion.
Have you ever wondered how we know when your pet has an ear infection? In our treatment room we do as much as we can in house, and that includes ear cytology.
Let us know in the comments if you are curious about anything else in our treatment room or lab :)
Have you requested your pets medication yet? If not, give us a call! It can take between 24 - 48 hours to refill medications :)
Choose your pet's chews wisely! Talk to your veterinarian about what chews are best for your furry friend and their long-term dental health.

Have your veterinarian at Valley Veterinary Hosptial examine your pet's smile at every wellness visit and follow any dental cleaning recommendations.

Laminitis is a severe and painful condition affecting the horse's feet. Treatment for laminitis is critical – if left untreated, laminitis can cause life-threatening damage to the coffin bone and hoof. If you are worried about lameness in your horse, contact your horse health care team.
Subsolar bruising occurs when there is repetitive trauma to the horse's sole, most commonly due to working on hard ground. Horses with no shoes, thin soles, and low heels are more likely to develop mild lameness from this condition. If you are worried about lameness in your horse, contact your horse health care team.

Happy Watermelon Day! 🍉 Did you know that watermelon is a safe and healthy treat for most dogs, as it is low in calories and fat while being high in vitamins A, B6, and C, as well as potassium? It also contains a good amount of water, which can help keep dogs hydrated, especially during hot weather!
