Riversbend Animal Hospital

A family owned and operated practice with you and your pet in mind. The waiting rooms are cat room for cats/dog room for dogs to help ease the stress of co-mixing animals and that helps makes this practice a GREAT place to bring your 🐾 babies! The office staff and care providers genuinely care about your animals as if they are their own. ...and when it's time to say goodbye to your beloved family member, just know their hearts hurt as your heart hurts.

I have never been to a vet office that came as near as close as this place with their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness! I was so nervous going in with a liter of 11 golden retriever puppies and how it was going to be done. The staff made us feel so welcomed and had a plan to come out to our vehicle and wheel the giant crate inside (I had a 1yr old and was super pregnant so I was not much help) once in the room, of course 11 puppies comes with chaos, they handle it so well it actually became a fun experience. The vet Dr James Scott was so calm and polite, his assistant (I really wished I remembered his name) was the biggest help rallying up the puppies to go. This was my first time here and I will definitely be a returning patient with my future furry friends!

We have been trying to figure out what was wrong with our dog Peanut. We were told she was having seizures and was put on meds for that. Dr Scott found the reason for her episodes. She has Atrial Fibrillation. So she is finally on the right medication. So Thankful to have answers. The staff has been amazing and helpful when I've had follow up questions also. I highly recommend them ❤🐕

We were referred here to see Dr. RUTH for our dogs broken leg to see if it required surgery since my vet didn't have a full time orthopedic doc anymore. It didn't need surgery so we went to our normal vet for splint changes, after my dog developed a bad pressure injury we were referred back to her to manage everything as our vet recommended amputation. Dr. Ruth is very knowledgeable and all the staff there are great. She was confident it would heal just fine and definitely didn't need an amputation. Would definitely recommend coming here for an orthopedic needs or regular vet services. Plan on switching to them once we move.

Riverbend Animal Hospital in Big Rapid's is fantastic! My mother's dog was very temperamental the staff and Dr's were amazing to him! They made everything so easy when it was time to put him down! Thank you for making his transition over the rainbow bridge so much easier!

Very easy to get to. The facilities are very clean inside and out. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The doctors were very knowledgeable and helpful in providing information to help you make the best decisions possible for your fur babies.
