Caitlin Shreiber
Caitlin joined Valley Vet in late 2016, she has a passion for animals, and loves spending time with the animals that come to stay with us in our facility. Growing up she had a myriad of pets including several dogs, cats, chinchillas, and a snake. She has three cats of her own now--Penny, Anakin, and Umbra, and would love to have a whole pack of dogs one day. When she's not spending time with the dogs and cats staying at the Villas at Valley Vet, she loves to go hiking and camping, bake, and go to the Renaissance faire.

Susan Nihart
Susan joined the Valley Vet team as a Boarding and Daycare assistant but quickly took an interest in Pet Grooming. After some time shadowing our previous groomer, she took on the responsibility full time and hasn't looked back! She enjoys making her furry clients feel refreshed when coming out of their spa day showing off their new style!
Our Furry Team Members
Our Furry Team Members
Minnie
Minnie is Dr. Shreiber’s newest greyhound and is a giant love bug! Much like her older sister, Minnie is a sweetie who enjoys all the attention she can get. She loves pets and hugs, eating doggy ice cream and popping up to say hello to all of our clients.
Gracie
Gracie is Dr. Shreiber’s first greyhound in command and is the leader of the office pups. She is super sweet and lovey! She can be found lounging around the office, snacking on doggy ice cream, and playing with her furry friends.
Charles
Charles spends every day behind the front desk- so you'd think by now he'd be better at filing! He would answer the phones if he could, as he loves to get to know people. We most look forward to taking Charles outside on his breaks. He may be a senior, but this greyhound can still bound around the yard like a puppy!
Hudson
Hudson is a friend to many! He's always around to cheer you up with a hug or to play a game of chase. He takes full advantage of having so many loving caretakers and takes time to check in on every operation in our hospital. You can find Hudson stepping on reception keyboards, sleeping in his hammock, or exploring a box or cabinet. And when you hear the galloping of little kitty paws- you know who it is!
Pat
Pat is an individualistic charmer with a disdain for his diet and any rules he is expected to follow. He may want to scare you into thinking he's the boss, but with his favorite people, he's a total sweetheart. Pat is the best seat-stealer in the hospital leaving most of us with the age-old question- do you move the cat out of the chair or do you just have to stand at your desk instead?
Finley
Pat is an individualistic charmer with a disdain for his diet and any rules he is expected to follow. He may want to scare you into thinking he's the boss, but with his favorite people, he's a total sweetheart. Pat is the best seat-stealer in the hospital leaving most of us with the age-old question- do you move the cat out of the chair or do you just have to stand at your desk instead?
Sarge
Sarge is the resident cat of the upstairs offices. He is living out a cat's retirement dream of taking long naps in sunny windows and getting love from his favorite people. He is the most recent addition to our pack but it feels like we've known him forever.
Nigel
Watching over our cat condos is the sweetest cat of them all, Nigel! Nigel won't hesitate to jump in your lap, and good luck getting him up! He loves to play and get to know our boarding cats- but most of all, he wants to snuggle.
LT
LT came to Valley Vet as a sickly, 8 lb. flea-infested kitty that needed medical attention and is now tipping the scales at 20 lbs! No, he’s not pregnant, yes, he is on a diet, but hey, he’s more to love! LT is the Valley Vet ambassador. He can be found wandering the halls at Valley Vet, joining you in an exam room or greeting you in the lobby. When he is not performing his social responsibilities, he is usually snoozing behind the front desk or begging for food (of course). Make sure to say hello to him while you are visiting our office. He definitely looks forward to the attention!

Cosmo
Cosmo was a charismatic greyhound who brought a lot of joy to the office for over 10 years. He was the pack leader, very intelligent, spirited, and full of energy and spunk. He loved chicken fingers and treats, naps with his sister Gracie, and had a special bond with Dr. Shreiber. Cosmo is missed by everyone!
Lucky
Lucky was one of Valley Vet's most beloved friends. She was gentle and quiet and could be found cuddling in a small space or in the laps of the front desk staff. Lucky loved to visit new friends in the building, eat treats, and snuggle up for a nap. She is missed by all and will forever hold a place in our hearts!
