Services
Internal Medicine
Our internal medicine specialists diagnose and treat complex conditions affecting pets' internal systems. Using digital X-rays and advanced blood testing, we manage chronic diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. Our team provides comprehensive care for endocrine disorders, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems, ensuring pets receive targeted treatments and ongoing health monitoring.
Laser Surgical Care
We utilize CO2 surgical lasers for precise, minimally invasive procedures that reduce pain and recovery time. This technology enables bloodless surgeries with lower infection risk, benefiting pets undergoing spays, neuters, or tumor removals. Our laser therapy also treats chronic pain and inflammation, promoting faster healing for soft tissue injuries.
Orthopedic Surgical Care
Our orthopedic specialists address musculoskeletal issues like fractures, hip dysplasia, and ligament tears. Using advanced imaging techniques, we develop surgical plans for joint repairs and spinal conditions. Post-operative care includes pain management and rehabilitation strategies to restore mobility and improve quality of life for pets with mobility challenges.
Boarding Services
We offer secure, comfortable boarding with personalized attention for cats and dogs. Our facilities maintain strict health protocols to ensure safety during stays. Boarding guests receive regular exercise, medication administration when needed, and 24/7 monitoring during designated hours, providing peace of mind for traveling pet owners.
Wellness & Preventive Care
Our preventive care programs include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling to maintain optimal pet health. We conduct thorough physical exams and age-specific screenings to detect early signs of disease.

They were all very kind and understanding to my stress over my dogs back legs not working. The female Dr. Who helped me gave me hope that my dog may improve with meds since they could not see any damage. I felt better that I wouldn't have to put him to sleep that day. I am so glad that even though Monday was a holiday they were open and returned my message for an appt quickly. They were wonderful.

They absolutely refused to see a dog that was in Respiratory distress and told the owners to go somewhere else! The poor dog died! Absolutely no compassion whatsoever and these poor people had to watch their beloved pet die in front of them. Don't go here ever and I will be spreading the word to never ever rely on them for pet care. How utterly shameful!

My 11 year old, blind, diabetic dog was very sick. I was prepared to have him put down peacefully. After 200 dollar bloodwork, which I requested, Dr Dean said he had a bladder infection and 104 feaver. He said with antibiotics and pain meds he would recover, but would take a few days to see improvement. Paid them an additional 261 dollars for these drugs. 4 hours later he began having difficulty breathing.
He got worse by the hour and died an agonizing death 10 hours after leaving Dr Deansoffice. Dr Dean accepts no responsibility for his mistreatment of my beloved friend, nor will he refund money for costly ineffective drugs. Bottom line is this, my dog suffered horribly, which would never have happened if Dr Dean had not recommended the treatment he did.

Don't bother! They will not take any new patients whatsoever, you will be turned away. Don't waste time begging for help they do not care unless you're privileged enough to be already a pt with them. Not sure how to get on the lucky list of pets who deserve help and need it, but we're not it. Take your pets anywhere else because they will not be seen here.

Guinea Pig had an injury and Dr. Dean was amazing!!! He stayed late to see us and was so kind and caring! Took time to explain to my daughter what may happen and that he would help the best he could. The tech was very nice and even after hours was patient and never felt like the visit was rushed. The amount of patience, compassion, and caring was beyond customer service. We just moved here but we have found our new vet!!!

I wish to thank Dr. Dean and the staff of North Valley Pet Hospital. Dr. Dean was extremely thorough with his exam of my mare. He was willing to listen, and took great time and care with her. Although the hospital is geared toward smaller animals, it is obvious that the doctors and staff are attempting to expand in order to accommodate large animals. I am looking forward to their continued expansion, and appreciate their willingness to serve the equine community in the Bullhead City area.

Dr Kate and Kari were very thorough with the exam and handling of peanut as she is very shy. When we adopted her at North Valley, she was real uncomfortable with all people due to having been badly beaten in the past. Over the 6 years we have had her, she has mellowed a lot and has been good with your staff. This was a wellness exam for her. We have been dealing with North Valley since 1996, and have referred several people to you. We like the whole operation and the way you handle the animals.

We adopted Lucky from the pound. He is a black lab approx. 5 yrs old. Very scared of people and noise. We made an appointment just to have him checked out and see how to continue to deal with him being scared of everything. They waited for him to become familiar with them and the office before going to him and scaring him more. He did not want to go in the door. They were wonderful with him. The entire staff talked to him and worked on making him feel safe and welcome.
The doctor took his time in the room visiting with us about Lucky while getting closer to him so as not to scare him. Lucky allowed him to pick up his legs and move and bend them as well as allowing him to continue to check him out. They worked with him on getting him on the scale to weigh him. We went away with a lot of knowledge and things to try to help him feel safe. We would highly recommend this office and their staff. They were great with our 85 lb scared lab. They also gave us the name of a trainer that would also be helpful.

Coco had a tumor removed on her paw. The staff was very helpful. At check in time I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to talk to the doctor with any questions I might have, before surgery. Doctor Dean was very nice and spent time answering my questions, explaining everything. After the pathology came back Doctor Dean called me with the results. I was very pleased with how surgery is handled and North Valley Pet Hospital.

I am extremely satisfied with the service that was provided for my dog. It was nice and refreshing to have a Vet Hospital treat and care for my dog like he was one of their own furry family members! I love my dog like he was my son and the care that he received, even just for routine vaccines, was more than you would get at any other place in town! I have tried numerous vets in and around the area and Dr. Dean, Dr. Kate and their staff are the best I have ever encountered!
I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who has precious pets and is looking for high quality along with reasonable pricing! They do it all, snakes, turtles, gerbils, dogs, birds, cats, and even horses; both doctors are well rounded and capable of caring for all pets whether they are big or small!
