It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform our community that the Scott Valley Veterinary Clinic will be closing soon. The California Veterinary Medical Board has asked for Dr. Spencer to turn in his veterinary license due to age related issues and a complaint that was made in 2020.
We do not have an exact date of closer, but we suspect it will be within the next 1-2 months. We will post the exact date when we know.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for allowing us to serve you and your pets for all of these years, and to let you know that you will be greatly missed in our lives.
Please call the clinic for your pets' records and to get current medications as it will be hard to get in quickly at one of the other local clinics. Please plan ahead of time and start looking now for a new veterinarian.
We are still actively looking for a veterinarian to take over the clinic, and pray it happens soon.
Again, thank you everyone for your support. It has been an honor.

Sincerely,

Dr. Spencer DVM and the staff.
