We have a small funny farm. Multiple pets dogs and cats. Been taking our baby bears to this veterinary clinic for many many years (like at least 10 years). They have changed names, ownership and staff a few times. Today we took our puppy in to get a swollen and infected anal gland examination. Another awesome vet appointment. Place is clean, well decorated, staff is lovely, they really care about our pets. Read Less

Love this clinic and it's veterinarians. They take great care and concern when treating and handling our animals. Today we updated our shots for two cats and completed a general check up. I Received information on billing for teeth cleaning for cats, the fur babies got some extra ear rubs from the vet and we were on our way. Everyone left with a clean bill of health.This clinic is newly renovated with great spaces for animals and fur parents. Mini bar w/ refreshments and a solid selection of pet care products.Insurance accepted. Read Less

We have been coming to this vet for almost ten years. The staff have always been pleasant but we especially like the current vet, Dr. Stelfox. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and doesn't push things on you that aren't needed. I would say they are middle of the road in terms of pricing. Their space is newly renovated, I highly recommend.

My dog always makes herself at home at the vet's. Everyone remembers her name and they love to pet her and play with her. Dr. Stelfox went out of her way with Molly's appointments and even called when my Dad took my dog for a problem with her eyes. He's not the best with relying what any medical personnel tell him. So Dr. Stelfox called me to explain everything in detail. Read Less

BE AWARE, SOME OF THEIR VETS RUN SCAMS! Not like it's any different at any other vet, I've heard of this same experience all over Edmonton. In May 2016, I brought 2 cats to this vet. Dr Stelfox as my estimate and receipts confirm. I've been going to a variety of veterinarians here since 2011 for these same two cats, the youngest tends to get herself into trouble. The doctor examined the cats, and stated that they both had very bad gums and teeth. She told me that on my eldest cat, 7 at the time, there were multiple teeth that were rotted and decaying. She told me that BOTH cats needed extractions. I was obviously thrown completely because neither one has ever had any dental problems at all from observation. I monitored them over the next month, and they both enjoyed having their mouths rubbed although not probed too closely. They simply got annoyed and pulled away, nothing indicating hitting a rotting or painful tooth as the vet indicated. She had stated she was "surprised" they didn't attempt to bite or were very protective around the front teeth. They were not. I received an estimate for 2000+ dollars. I have no benefits or insurance for myself, and make just enough to live on. I'm not in a position to put that money down immediately and would have to save 1 year+. I can't afford a dentist for myself, let alone my cats, without serious planning. I take them back to the same vet May 2017. Dr Stelfox. I'm anxious to hear how the rot and teeth have progressed, get their boosters, etc. She takes a close look at both cats and says their teeth look "great" and is very enthusiastic about how clean their gums are. I did not prompt her to remember these were the "cats with rotted teeth", she barely seemed to glance at their files, mistaking their genders and ages and weights often. I stayed silent at this point, and she recommended loosely a teeth cleaning for the eldest as "preventative" but forgot which cat was the eldest and mistakenly went back and forth on the youngest needing a cleaning vs not. I would have had this vet extract HEALTHY teeth. Rot does not magically reverse, decaying teeth do not heal them selves, and I have not taken the cats for any dental work. She would have removed healthy teeth from my cats simply as a cash grab. She is so concerned with money that she would mutilate animals. I will be asking for a different vet next time, I do not want a sadistic animal abuser anywhere near my animals. Read Less

For the last two years, we've been taking our cat to see Dr. Stelfox at the River Valley Vet Clinic. Over the past year, our cat has developed allergies, and Dr. Stelfox has gone above and beyond to do various tests to determine how to mitigate his symptoms. It's so refreshing to have a vet who takes the time to explain everything so you walk out of the clinic knowing exactly what you need to do next. Thank you Dr. Stelfox and all the other amazing staff at the River Valley Vet Clinic - you guys are amazing! Read Less

By far the worst! I have been going here for over 3 years due to once living behind them. I have witnessed all of the great doctors who used to be there leave after Dr. Jennifer Stelfox arrival. I can now see why after dealing with her. Dr. Stelfox is by far the most incompetent vet I've met who is quick to over charge and pile unnecessary procedures on you. I now go somewhere else that actually has better service with more competency and less stress for no reason to my cats Read Less
