Welcome to Riverside Veterinary Hospital

Riverside Veterinary Hospital is not your average local veterinary clinic; it’s a welcome homecoming and a family you can trust when you need help with your pets. We are a privately-owned small animal practice that offers comprehensive wellness care, urgent care and same day appointments, advanced on-site diagnostics, surgical services, dental care, chronic disease management, and much more.

At Riverside Veterinary Hospital, we combine cutting-edge medical knowledge with a deeply personal approach to care. Our background in advanced veterinary medicine allows us to offer thorough diagnostics, proactive treatment plans, and a heightened ability to recognize and address complex conditions—without losing sight of the importance of comfort, trust, and communication.

We strive to create an environment where pets feel safe and clients feel informed. Whether your pet is due for a wellness check or facing a more complicated issue, we’re here as a knowledgeable and compassionate partner in their lifelong health.

At Riverside Veterinary Hospital, we’re more than a clinic—consider us as a trusted partner in your pet’s lifelong health. Our combination of advanced medical training and a heartfelt commitment to personal, compassionate care makes us unique.

We believe that every pet deserves individualized attention, clear communication, and a calm, caring environment.
