Valley Vet Supply was founded in 1985 by veterinarians who shared a simple belief—that animals deserve the very best care, and so do the people who love them.
Before establishing Valley Vet Supply, our founders spent their days caring for cats, dogs, horses, and cattle at a mixed-animal clinic in Marysville, Kansas. Those early experiences shaped the foundation of who we are—a company built on veterinary knowledge, compassion, and a deep understanding of the bond between people and their animals.
From the very beginning, customers have trusted that the products and medications we offered were hand-selected by those who truly knew what was best for their animals. And while much has changed since 1985, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do today.
Whether you’re searching for prescription medications, vaccines, parasite control, fencing materials, tack, a new pair of boots, or anything in between, you don’t have to look any further. You can count on us for a compassionate voice to simplify decisions and deliver what you need, right to your doorstep—fast. That dedication has always been what we hang our hat on.
For nearly four decades, Valley Vet Supply has been a trusted source for all things horse, livestock, and pet. And as we continue living the farming, ranching, and pet-loving way of life right alongside you, we remain deeply devoted to helping you care for the animals that mean the most.
We are Valley Vet Supply.

Arnold Nagely, DVM
Dr. Nagely graduated from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, he enlisted as an officer in the United States Air Force where he was the veterinarian at Suffolk County Air Force Base in Westhampton Beach, New York, caring for military family pets and service dogs. After leaving the Air Force, he and his family moved to the Marysville community where he helped open the Valley Vet Clinic, soon to be joined in practice by his then-partner (and co-founder of Valley Vet Supply), Dr. Ray Shultz. In 2018, the community of Marysville, Kansas awarded Dr. Nagely with Business Person of the year. Dr. Nagely enjoys traveling with his family. One of their most memorable trips took them to the beaches of Normandy, France.
Ray Shultz, DVM
Dr. Shultz graduated from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and soon, his veterinary profession took him to Marysville, Kansas, where he joined his then-partner (and fellow co-founder of Valley Vet Supply), Dr. Nagely. Together, they shared the vision of building a company to better serve pet and livestock owners. And in 1985, they founded Valley Vet Supply—today’s dedicated source for all things horse, livestock and pet. Always on the go, Dr. Shultz enjoys historic restoration and construction projects. Recently, his preservation efforts breathed life back into the historic Isis movie theater in Marysville, KS, built in 1912, as well as an 1884 vintage one-room stone school house located in northern Riley County, KS.
