Valley Oak has been Scotts Valley’s trusted home for pet care for nearly four decades! We know that choosing a pet care provider is more than just selecting a vet with medical proficiency; it demands a team that cherishes animals with every fiber of their being. Our devoted doctors, nurses, and staff rise to this call, delivering uncompromising, top-tier medical and surgical care in a loving environment. Family-owned and deeply rooted in our community, we give your animal companions surgical and urgent care services that are second to none.

Our AAHA Accreditation: Excellence in Veterinary Care

Did you know only 12-15% of animal hospitals are AAHA-accredited? Unlike human hospitals, accreditation is optional in veterinary care, and we’re proud to be among this elite group.

The AAHA seal means we’ve met nearly 900 standards of excellence and undergo thorough reviews every three years. It’s a testament to our commitment to top-tier care. AAHA standards are consistent across states, provinces, and even countries, making it a trusted mark of quality.

Being AAHA-accredited, we uphold a higher standard in pet healthcare. For us, excellence isn’t an option but a commitment. Visit aaha.org/petowner to understand why this matters for your pet’s well-being.

Putting Pets First

We pledge to treat your pet as if they were our own. To be their advocate for quality veterinary care throughout their life. To educate you – their caring owner – together, we can make the best decisions for their health and wellbeing. We will be honest, caring, and compassionate each step of the way. Your pet’s health is our top priority.
