I just wanted to thank everyone at New River for the exceptional care they have given my dog. We have had a lot going on the past couple months and the whole staff has been nothing but extremely helpful. They have went out of the way to answers any questions or concerns I have had. His treatment has been time consuming but they have been very helpful. There prices for visit, treatment and medicine has been great. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else.

Big Heads Up. Their prices are outrageous. I will never take my dog there again. My bill was 251 dollars. I called Peterstown vet to compare prices & they are way cheaper. Find a different vet to take your dog to, your wallet will thank you.
