Your pet is your family member… one of a kind.
We are your veterinary hospital …one of a kind.
Come to our neighborhood.
We will make you feel right at home.
We have watched “our” family of puppies and kittens grow over the years. We have been here for our clients and their furry families through good times and sad. We have been here when our new puppies and kittens walk through the door, we have been here when they need to lose weight or they have a tummy ache, or they have eaten what they should not have…..and we have been here for the most difficult time in a pet owner’s life …to escort them to the rainbow bridge.
We want to know you and your pet so we can help when you need us.
We will learn your preferences for things like appointment times, medication refill schedules and food choices. We understand those patients that…maybe do not want to be around other patients and we can modify their experience to enable their stress to be kept at a minimum. We understand that it is not your pet’s favorite ride in the car…. To the Doctor…. So we will escort them to the exam room and bypass the public waiting area. We do our best to minimize time spent waiting, but when diagnostics are ordered, we make every attempt to report results as quickly as possible.
River Valley Veterinary was established in November of 2000 at a unique building in Cheswick.
One Doctor with a dream …To put more compassion into the veterinary experience. To support not only the pet, but the person behind the pet.
We are a “local family”- owned business and we support locally owned businesses to help us run ours.
River Valley Veterinary outgrew our small building and relocated to a much bigger building in Springdale, where we continue to grow our ability to diagnose and treat, all under one roof.
We are constantly looking for ways to support the dog and cat families of the surrounding areas.
