Hometown Care at VCA Valley Vet Animal Hospital

VCA Valley Vet Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary medical clinic offering wellness, preventative and all stages of life care, from puppies and kittens to geriatrics to dogs and cats in New Kensington, Oakmont, Arnold, and Tarentum, Pennsylvania for over 75 years. We also provide a comprehensive range of surgical, diagnostic and dental care services.

We have grown from a small converted house to a state of the art facility designed specifically with your comfort and the care of your pets in mind. While many things have changed over the years, the one thing that has remained consistent is our dedication to providing quality, individualized care and exceptional service to each and every patient and client that we serve.

Our evening and early Saturday hours also make it easier for families to keep their pets healthy and happy. We have had a long time association with the local animal shelter, and many of our doctors and staff have dedicated their time and resources to help local shelter pets so that they can find a loving family of their own.

Our clean, modern and welcoming facilities feature a vast surgical suite, including dental, and laser therapy and the support of an in-house lab as well as off-site laboratory for whatever ails your pet. We also offer behavior and nutritional counseling to better manage your pet's health and happiness.

At VCA Valley Vet Animal Hospital, we understand that your pet is a part of your family, and we consider you to be a part of ours. We look forward to welcoming you to our office soon and we hope to be able to serve all of your animal health care needs for many years to come!
