Southern Veterinary Partners (SVP) is pleased to announce that Valleydale Animal Clinic has joined SVP’s network of animal hospitals in the Southeastern United States.

Located in Birmingham, Alabama, Valleydale Animal Clinic represents SVP’s fourth hospital overall and is an ideal fit as it strengthens SVP’s footprint in Alabama and the Southeast. Valleydale was established in 1976 and purchased by Dr. Jeff Falone and his wife, Dr. Laura Falone, in 2009. Valleydale Animal Clinic is a full-service, AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital that takes pride in offering patients and their families the very best in cutting-edge medicine as well as superior diagnostic and surgical technology.

Valleydale Animal Clinic’s services for companion animals include wellness exams, dental care, surgery, radiology, nutrition, allergy, dermatology, ophthalmology, and behavioral counseling. SVP is pleased to welcome Jeff, Laura and the rest of the Valleydale staff to the team. We are excited about the partnership with Valleydale and Dr. Falone, who we know to be well-respected in the Southeast veterinary community, said Jay Price, Chief Executive Officer of SVP.

“Valleydale Animal Clinic represents a great first step as we further seek to expand our regional presence in the South.” “I'm thrilled to join the Southern Veterinary Partners network,” said Dr. Jeff Falone. “For me, the partnership made a lot of sense given SVPs local ties and high standard of animal care. I look forward to being a part of the future growth.”

SVP plans to support Valleydale Animal Clinic with centralized finance, accounting, human resources, IT, sales and marketing. SVP is committed to retaining the local culture of Valleydale and believes that leveraging the back-office infrastructure at SVP will help facilitate best-in-class clinical services.
