I knew my Cali was in the best hands! Fabulous dentistry department. Dr. Haggerty was exceptional. Cali's remaining teeth are so white! She was well cared for and every detail was attended to from parking lot assistance to superb communication with the doctor to expertly prepared meds from the pharmacy. Overall, very impressed. Nothing but the best for my Cali-girl!

When my pomeranian of 18 years was going thru a difficult time, someone had recommend I check out RBVH. I enjoyed the way you cared for my pet. Surgery went well and I was able to get to more years with her after that. Eventually when she was on her last breathe she had passed in my arms on the way to the hospital. It was the toughest time for me but when I got there all the vets and staff had offered condolences and did their best to comfort me.
I had my moments with her before I left her there in the hands of the vet. I chose to cremate my dog and I have kept her ashes. The card and the delicate care I recieved even during that time made it easy to cope with. 2 years later I was able to open up my heart again to a new member of the family, a French bully. This is my second pet that I bring to your hospital for all the regular check ups and procedures and I love the feeling that I get knowing my pets are in good hands. Just the attitude and attention to detail gets me every time. I love this place and I highly recommend for all your pet's needs. Plus the atmosphere is like no other!

On more than one occasion for different pets, they have saved the day for life's unexpected illness. The facility is clean, staff respectful and reassuring, organized, and more importantly compassionate. Both times I've utilized their services. My pets received amazing care. I trust all of my babies in their capable care. Every question I had was answered and not ridiculed. I felt like the staff were caring for their own pet when I handed my babies to them. Thank you for everything!

My rabbits go here for emergency visits. For example, Nate, my almost 2 yr old mini Lop was having GI stasis symptoms in Dec 2021. Dr. McCleery was able to diagnose him correctly with liver lobe torsion and helped us get the surgery he desperately needed. She saved my baby's life! She also did a very thorough wellness exam for both of my rabbits. Usually with other rabbit vets, they just say "your rabbit is healthy" after spending a quick time with them.
But with her, she actually checked a lot of things and you could see it in the discharge notes. I'm very happy and thankful about their services. Choosing them for emergency visits for your rabbits is worth the money.

Rex came down with pneumonia very suddenly and we are so thankful we went to RBVH. They gave us our options and ultimately we decided to keep Rex in the ICU for a couple days. I called for updates way more than I should've but everyone was so patient and caring and knew exactly how he was doing. I think potentially we may have lost him or he might have had to spend his life on oxygen had we not gone to RBVH. Can't recommend them enough. (Also for routine visits we've seen many doctors and they all are wonderful. )
