Report
In December 2021, we were waiting for our dog appointment. A lady pulled in to the handicapped parking without a sticker. I told her that it was a handicap spot and she said "I'll only be 2 minutes". I said "In that 2 minutes, there could be a handicapped person that shows up for that spot". During our appointment with the dog, I mentioned to the Vet that I told someone to move out of the handicapped parking spot. Her response to me was "that could have been a long time patron that you've kicked out of that spot". I also mentioned the parking lot could be resealed and new lines painted. She barred

Our Great Dane needed emergency surgery and the staff and vets at valleyview couldn't have been more helpful or amazing to deal with. From the phone call to the front desk to recovery they were amazing. Thanks again to the team there for helping our boy Parker.

Although this review isnt related to the vet service I think it speaks to the character of the owner and staff. This morning my truck was stolen from my driveway in Westsyde, approximately an hour later before I had heard from the RCMP someone from the vet called me to let me know one of my company vehicles was parked suspiciously in their parking lot. This allowed the vehicle to be recovered before the thieves returned and they even offered to come and pick me up to bring me to it! Thank you so much you guys are great samaritans and great citizens, I wont forget the kindness you guys showed
