  Haley and Deena (sp?) were great on the phone and with service at the car. Dr LaRocha (so?) and Dr Winke are always patient and informative with their explanations so we understand the results and plan of action. It’s very comforting to not feel rushed or talked down to.
  We have been with VAC with all four of our dogs. We always recommend VAC to friends, sometimes unsolicited.

  Dr. Winke and the staff have been great with Rusty and always communicate very well with me regarding the best way to treat his ailments and keep him healthy. I am so thankful to have had Rusty in the care of Valleydale Animal Clinic for almost 12 years! He continues to live an excellent and vibrant life under their expertise and compassion. Thank you to all of the staff who help ensure he remains healthy and happy!

  Fantastic staff and incredibly knowledgeable doctors with the best service of any vet we’ve ever had. Can’t say enough about how this clinic cares for the animals and owners and always looks out for the best interest of all involved. Incredibly pleased with everything they have, are and will continue to do for our dog.

  We decided to board our 12-year old dog, Miles, at Valleydale Animal Clinic over the July 4th holiday, while we were away at the beach. On the morning of Thursday, July 4th, 2019, I received a call from Dr. Larocca explaining that Miles had developed gastric dilation volvulus and that he was in need of emergency surgery.
  
  Although it was a holiday weekend and the clinic was getting ready to close for the day when the kennel workers noticed his condition, Dr. Larocca gave my family time to consider our options and we ultimately decided to proceed with emergency surgery. Dr. Larocca made sure that we were well-informed about the risks and expected outcomes, given Miles' advanced age. We never felt pressured into surgery, but decided on our own that we wanted to give Miles a fighting chance rather than to euthanize immediately.
  
  Dr. Larocca performed the surgery on the afternoon of July 4th and as promised, kept us informed and updated on his condition immediately after surgery and then over the following two days. Unfortunately, despite initially appearing to recover well, Miles' condition began to deteriorate on Saturday, July 6th. We asked Dr. Larocca if we could visit with Miles after-hours and he agreed to meet with my family at the clinic in the evening. When we arrived, Miles was lying on the grass outside with Dr. Larocca and we could see he was really struggling. When he saw his best buddy, our six-year old daughter, his eyes lit up and he looked like he wanted to stand and play with her again, but didn't have the strength to do so. He had fluid buildup in his abdomen and an infection appeared to be developing. It was then that we decided that it would be best to end his suffering and to put him to sleep forever. We all said our goodbyes and Dr. Larocca performed the euthanasia as Miles lay on the grass and under dappled sun. It was very peaceful and gentle.
  
  It was the most painful goodbye I have ever had to say to a friend. Miles has been my constant companion since I first adopted him from a small rural animal control center in upstate NY in 2008. The only thing that made this process any easier was Dr. Larocca's compassion, dedication, and professional ethics. Because of these qualities, I am reassured that Miles did not need to suffer needlessly, that he was cared for in his darkest moments by someone who truly cares and as such, received the most prompt, highest quality, and most appropriate care that he could have had. Even though the surgery did not allow us to bring Miles back home, it gave us all a chance to say goodbye and for Miles to pass in the presence of those who loved him most. I shudder to think what would have happened had the kennel workers not checked on the animals one final time on July 4th, when Miles first developed bloat. I think that would have been a painful and frightening way to go.
  
  From the bottom of my heart, we want to thank Dr. Larocca and the amazing kennel workers at Valleydale Animal Clinic. Thank you for your dedication, for your compassion, and for your love for all the companion animals who are under your care. We will recommend Valleydale Animal Clinic to everyone we know and when we find the strength to bring home a new animal friend, we will most certainly bring them back for ongoing care.
