I can't say enough good things about New River Veterinary Hospital and the amazing staff who work there. Every time we come in for a well visit, they treat my dogs with such kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Today was no exception—my pups were greeted with smiles, gentle hands, and lots of love. The team is always thorough, patient, and attentive, making sure my dogs are comfortable and healthy. It's clear they truly care about animals and take pride in what they do. I always leave feeling confident that my dogs are in the best hands possible. Thank you for consistently going above and beyond.

I am so upset with this vet. I took my dog in for ear infection and exam. Walked out of there paying 350.00. They gave me some cream and cleaner and said I could put it on outside ear too. I called 2 days later to confirm which medicine I was supposed to put on the outside and they did not know what I was talking about. I reminded them about the sores on the outside of the ear and they again said it was not noted. There is NO way you could do an exam of the ears and not feel the bumps all over on the outside of the ear too. I asked to come in for a 2nd opinion with Dr Sarah. I came in and they finally gave me an antibiotic and itch meds... her ear was really bad. They charged me another office visit and I only had 100.00 more (now $450 total) and the bill was $180. I told them I only had 100 but could pay the rest in a day or two. They immediately asked me TO GIVE BACK THE MEDICINE that she needed badly, since I did not have the whole 180.00. I told them that I would not even be here today if they would have properly examined my dog 3 days ago. I Could not believe my ears. I gave them 450.00 in 3 days and they took back her medicine and sent me and my very sick dog on our way. They should not be in business! That is not how you care for sick animals. My 100 would have covered the meds and some other charges. They did not use to be this way. They are now just about the money, not doing their best job. I am appalled at this staff and will never go back! Oh. ...when I told them they should waive the 2nd exam fee I was told I'm not welcome back...

The best vet in the North Valley! We've been bringing our dogs here for nearly 10 years. Dr. Sarah and Dr. Jordy are compassionate and caring... always giving us the time and guidance to keep our "furry children" happy and healthy. Their staff is amazing as well! Long story short, they are our go to vet for all of our dogs over the years.

The staff are amazing. Last month I had to put my dog Cooper down and they have an amazing inviting room set up. The experience was like being at home and although it was hard on my boys and me loosing Cooper, we had privacy and each step the staff was there.

I recently had to put my beautiful himalayan cat to sleep and I was devastated. I've never had to do that before. I was not a current "patient" with NR Vet, but the wonderful staff there worked with me to schedule in home euthanasia. I could barely hold it together every time I spoke to them, but everyone was so compassionate through the whole process. I really didn't expect the level of care and outcome I received, but my baby is back home with me now forever. It's hard to believe 13 1/2 years of love is in this small box, but I will cherish it forever.
