A Legacy of Compassionate Care in Fredericton

Welcome to Valley Veterinary Hospital, where we’ve been serving the Fredericton community and surrounding areas since 1985. As pet owners ourselves, we understand the special bond you share with your animal companions. Your pets are cherished members of your family, and we promise to treat them with the same level of attention and dedication we give to our own.

Our practice has evolved significantly over the decades, but our core mission remains unchanged: to elevate the standard of veterinary care and advocate passionately for animal health and wellbeing. We believe in the power of preventative medicine and personalized care plans that acknowledge each pet’s unique needs and circumstances.

Modern Facilities, Personalized Approach

At Valley Veterinary Hospital, we’ve invested in creating a comfortable environment equipped with advanced diagnostic technology, modern treatment equipment, and an on-site laboratory for rapid results. This allows us to provide timely diagnoses and effective treatments while minimizing stress for both pets and their owners.

What truly sets us apart, however, is our approach. We recognize that behind every pet is a caring family, and we take the time to listen, educate, and involve you in healthcare decisions. Our team stays at the forefront of veterinary medicine through continuous learning, bringing innovative solutions to help your companions live longer, healthier, and more comfortable lives.

Comprehensive Care for Various Species

While dogs and cats make up a significant portion of our practice, our expertise extends to many other species. We proudly provide specialized care for exotic pets including reptiles, birds, and a variety of pocket pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, ferrets, chinchillas, degus, and sugar gliders.

Proactive Health Management

Because our animal companions age much faster than we do, their health status can change rapidly. We generally recommend annual checkups for healthy adult pets, with more frequent visits for puppies, kittens, senior animals, and those with ongoing health concerns.

These regular evaluations often make the crucial difference in catching conditions early when they’re typically easier and less expensive to treat. Through appropriate vaccination protocols and preventative care strategies, we can often help your pet avoid developing certain diseases entirely.

We take a balanced approach to vaccinations, ensuring your pet receives proper protection without unnecessary treatments. Working together, we’ll develop a wellness program tailored specifically to your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors, and health history.
