About Us           

James Valley Vetarinary Clinic was started at the corner of Dakota Avenue South and 12th Street in Huron, SD in December of 2002 by Dr. Rebecca Rink.   

Dr. Rink believes in providing excellent quality medicine and surgery, and compassionate care for all animals.  Superior client communication is the foundation of her practice. 

The staff at James Valley Veterinary Clinic deliver kind, thorough, thoughtful care to the patients and clients that call or come into the clinic each day.  Education about pets and pet health care is of utmost importance.  Puppy and kitten visits are a lot of fun and often quite involved.  Our hope is to start the bond between the person and the pet out right...to set a strong base for a lifetime of joy and good health for our clients' pets.   

The primary goal of everyone at James Valley Veterinary Clinic is to treat patients like family members. We offer the most up-to-date, highest quality, safest medicine and treatments for the animals that are seen each day.  We set our protocols to ensure each patient's health and welfare.  We strive to never assume to know what a pet owner wants, to offer all of the available options, and to help with the decision making process.

Occassionally, the necessary care for a patient is better provided by a specialist.  Dr. Rink and her staff offer any needed referrals for diagnostics and treatments outside of James Valley Veterinary Clinic.  They feel it is important to offer all of the possible options for care that are available, and then to help guide each client toward the appropriate care for their pet.  We understant that different factors play into each client/patient relationship and that what is right for one may not be right for another.

As our patients age we strive to be proactive in their health care.  Disease processes, painful conditions, organ failure, and dental disease, just to name a few things, are BEST prevented where possible.  Addressing these issues before they are problems is another one of our goals.  We offer, and recommend, senior wellness profiles, preventative dentistry, and arthritis screening for all of our patients as they age.  We also offer compasionate end of life options for our patients, and counseling about these options for our clients.  We do have a crematorium for the respectful care of our patients' remains.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU IF YOU ARE ALREADY A CLIENT OF OURS AND TO EXTEND AN INVITATION TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT CLIENTS YET.
