Preventive care

From doctors to staff from my first experience with them was the cared about your pet first . Very down to earth and caring. In this day and age of chain locations and the need for profit over services when it comes to your fur baby I can assure you that your baby will come first here over and above anything else. They really do look out for your pet and owners well being above profit.

A very down to earth place to take your pets or animals to for personal care. They're also a veterinarian clinic. I highly recommend this facility. You will not be disappointed.

Called for a price to have a dog put down,left a message for them to call me back. They did not call until after my dog was already put down. If thats what you call "Taking care of business" then no thanks

I am a 71 year old man. I was raised on a farm. Coming up we used the local Vet for vaccinations and problems that we couldn't handle on our own but we always knew that when and if we needed help, that help was only a phone call away. Last Thursday evening my 11 year old Springer Spaniel began vomiting. By morning I knew that he was in serious decline. I began using Rhiner Veterinary several years ago for boarding and for routine care. It has been almost 3 years since Buster needed veterinary care but I felt confident that if he needed care help would be there. I waited until the office opened Friday morning. When I called, I explained the seriousness of the situation and that I thought Buster might need to be put down. The receptionist put me on a brief hold only to return to say that because it had been almost 3 years since our last visit the Doctor wouldn't be able to help PERIOD! Before I could find a clinic willing to assist Buster bled out on the bedroom floor. You can be the judge here, but I found the practice to be cruel and uncaring. Because of my age and the trauma of my experience, I doubt that I will ever have another dog, but if I ever change my mind Riner Animal Hospital would never care for it. The extreme lack of compassion shown there was disgusting. This is my TRUE experience. If you are a pet owner considering using this practice perhaps you should ask upfront exactly how frequently you must visit in order to obtain services in an emergency.
