These preventative visits include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and personalized care recommendations. Regular checkups help maintain optimal pet health through proactive medical intervention.

I had mad an appointment on Friday March 25 to get my dog her shots and set up an appointment to have her spade. The next morning Saturday the 26th my 2 dogs got in a really bad fight! I wanted to keep the appointment for her shots this day but she also needed medical car. They told me they were busy and because her appointment was only for her vaccine they could probably only get her shots done.
After going in they assessed her and got her in and cleaned up they gave A+ service. The prices are reasonable. I work in the automotive field and I try to treat my customers how I would like to be treated. Rio Bravo veterinary clinic did an outstanding job. I will only bring my pets here from now on! My daughter needs her dog spade and I asked how much her vet wanted and she said $700-$900. Rio Bravo is half that price!
If you need petcare this should be the only place you go. Best service and petcare I have ever seen in a business in my life. I am 48 so I've been around for a while! Thank you Rio Bravo veterinary clinic!

So fast and easy to get my dog checked. Curbside service due to covid, but appointments are on time and there is a very minimal wait once you check in.
