I am so impressed with this vet office. Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Schuster and Kendra were very kind and patient and answered all my questions. They also explained the vaccinations and any reactions to expect and what to watch for. Dr. S even helped me choose some better food and treat options for Sophie. Kendra opened the blinds so Sophie could bird watch while we discussed her. Halfway through the visit Sophie was purring and no longer seemed afraid.

Have been taking my dogs and cat here for over a decade. They took excellent care of my senior dog when it was time for him to pass on and let us be there with him, gave us time to grieve after he'd passed, and helped us arrange cremation. They even sent a sweet card with his paw prints and a small bunch of his fur, which I still have four years later.

I have a 17 year old dog who i'm very protective over, especially recently. he was given a haircut and when we went to pick him up they didn't say anything and let us leave, at home i noticed his ear had a cut in it, far enough to almost take off the tip of his ear. i know it wasn't there before & its so disrespectful to cut my dogs ear & say nothing. even if it was already there you should still say something about it to make sure we don't think it's you. in the picture you can see it a bit on the left ear.

We had to put our sweet boy put down today and you guys are seriously the best. The main doctor that euthanized him was amazing. She was so kind to us. They gave us paw prints and made us a little coffin box to take him in. Thank you guys so so much.

The staff at Riverton Veterinary Hospital took such good care of our cat. They helped her to feel at ease during her appointment and blood draw and were very thorough in her care. They were so patient in letting her explore a little to feel at ease and were very gentle. I highly recommend them.

Riverton Veterinary Hospital doctors and staff are amazing! We have been taking our dogs there for over 5 years and have never had a bad experience. They have educated us and helped us lovingly care for our dogs as they got older, and compassionately assisted us in letting them go when it became necessary. The doctors are thorough in their evaluations of any medical need we have had, and in explaining options when we've had to make some tough decisions. Their staff is kind, friendly, and professional. We will continue to use their services with our current furry family; I wholeheartedly recommend Riverton Veterinary Clinic.
