North Valley Emergency Veterinary Clinic

If you have to leave your pet there in the middle of the night, you better be back before 7:45 because they close at 8 a.m. You might as well just stay up all night. During my last visit, my cat went through a bunch of expensive tests and numerous x-rays. Then the unfriendly vet gave me the news. The only thing wrong with my cat is that she is a little overweight. The price tag for that, $600. REALLY???

Pros: late hours

Cons: price, early closing

An okay place, if you need it. I know it's not possible to "schedule" an emergency, but try not to have to go here. We felt like "just another person and animal that has to be taken care of..." I really wish the staff could have at least acted like they had a bit more compassion.

It is pretty expensive, but you're bound to expect that with it being an emergency facility.

Pros: Open during off-hours

Cons: Expensive
