We love Great Rivers Animal hospital. They’ve taken care of all our pets over the years. This visit was for an ear laceration and Dr. Collner was spectacular as always. Rosie is doing great!

Staff are wonderful support with all pets. They showed compassion for RIP Ethan Grace. Plus, Kat was a bit scared but appeared, relaxed for her yearly exam. Thank you for guiding me with all the stray kittens over the last 3 years. Judy
