Why do we think you will love BVH?

We provide individualized care and support to each person and pet we serve. It’s not our comprehensive services, cutting edge treatment options, shiny new building, or our friendly staffed team that make local pet parents choose our hospital—the reason why we’re the veterinary office of choice in Cheney is because we love what we do and our passion for improving the lives of animals truly shines through.

• Great Culture: We go above and beyond to make our patients feel welcome, comfortable, and at ease so that visits to our clinic aren’t just something pets tolerate, but something they look forward to! Beyond the work we do within the clinic, our team is also dedicated to each other and the community. We routinely contribute to a variety of local animal, youth and school causes that are near and dear to our hearts.
• Personalized Medicine: For more than 40 years, we have served pets in our community and given our clients undivided attention. Our practice has high-quality, modern equipment and has plenty of room to grow! We're well-equipped with digital radiography and ultrasound, 2 exam rooms, a dental unit, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure we have the tools needed to perform a variety of services.
• Great Location: About 20 minutes southwest of Spokane, Cheney is a wonderful community close to the Washington/Idaho border. Home to Eastern Washington University and an abundance of outdoor activities, it's a great place to meet people and explore the beautiful PNW! (P.S. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge and Fish Lake Regional Park make great spots to spend a day outdoors). Plus, for those who want to get away, Cheney is only 15 miles from Spokane International Airport, and a flight away from endless adventure.
