7535 Bailey Cove Rd SE, Huntsville, AL 35802

Are you an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) who thrives in a team-first, culture-driven environment? Do you love supporting your teammates as much as your patients? Ready to grow your career in a hospital where education, collaboration, and fun are woven into the fabric of every day?


Valley Animal Hospital & Pet Resort in Huntsville, AL, is calling your name.

About Us


For over 30 years, we've been proudly caring for the pets of Huntsville, earning a reputation for excellence, compassion, and innovation. With AAHA Accreditation, Fear Free practices, and recognition as a Cat-Friendly Practice by the AAFP, our 7-doctor hospital delivers cutting-edge care while treating every pet like family.

We operate out of two beautiful buildings, a full-service hospital and a brand-new state-of-the-art wellness center. We offer a full range of services from routine care to surgery, dentals, and advanced diagnostics. Our Pet Resort and Dog Day Camp bring the fun, with camper birthday parties, pool days, and more!

Tired of the repetitive routine general practice but not looking for the grueling overnight shifts? Welcome to the middle ground where you will handle the "see-it-today" cases with efficiency and empathy.

What Makes Us Different

• Culture is Paramount: Our leadership team is laser-focused on fostering a healthy, positive culture. We care deeply about the vibe in our hospital and want to know: What does a positive culture mean to YOU? And more importantly, how do you contribute to one?
• Teamwork Is Everything: Open communication, having each other's backs, and celebrating wins together, that's how we roll.
• We Love to Teach: Our doctors are committed educators who love helping our technicians grow. We support career development, CE, and continual learning.
• We Make Work Fun: Dog Day camp, camper pool parties & birthdays, and every-other-month team meetings that feel engaging-because when we laugh together, we work better together.

• Client education and team collaboration
  • clearly communicating with clients and working closely with DVMs
