“We unfortunately lost our sweet dog Roxy the other day but Minnesota Valley Pet Hospital was a blessing for us. Losing our sweet girl was completely unexpected and she was not going to make it to her usual vet out of town. I had called around to other places and they referred us to emergency clinics in the Twin Cities. As we started our drive there, Roxy started to decline fast and we knew she was passing. We knew she wasn't going to make it to either the emergency vet or to her usual clinic out of town.
We decided to stop at MVPH as we knew Roxy's time was near and we just needed to make her comfortable. Unfortunately, she passed away in the car just as we arrived. That didn't stop the staff from being so extremely kind and gracious to us. Although we aren't patients here, they still treated us with kindness, compassion, and didn't hesitate to help us when we were grieving our girl. I wish I could remember the name of the girl who helped me at the front desk. She was so kind and helped us get Roxy out of our car and into the room where we were able to comfortably spend time with her and say our goodbyes. We didn't feel rushed. We kept apologizing for coming in and being so distraught and not even being patients of theirs but everyone was just so kind. While we will miss Roxy with our whole hearts, MVPH helped us say our goodbyes and made us feel very taken care of.
Edited to add that I understand that they do not provide immediate emergency services at their location. We were desperate and needed a place to either utilize euthanasia or in this case have a place to help us say our goodbyes after she passed in the car.“
“Dr. Mari Feder was amazing with our dog and really took the time to answer all our questions. She was very caring and kept us well informed about our dogs surgery. The sweetest thing was when we picked our dog up, they had a certificate of bravery for him after he went through his surgery. Very nice touch and classy!“

“I was able to get my cat Pickles in for limping first thing in the morning. Somehow she dislocated her hip! The staff was very personable and explained every step in detail. Pickles was well taken care of and now I have a happy, healthy kitty!“
