Yesterday Fish gave Katie fits while being groomed. Katie handled the situation perfectly. Fish looked great even though I feel like Katie was stressed about it. Katie offered a recommendation for her next visit and took care of the arrangements for oral sedation. Everyone at Valleydale has been amazing! I am very glad that I chose to use this clinic and highly recommend them.
