I passed through Canada with a puppy that got sick. Closest vet clinic was Rivers Vet and I’m so thankful it was. The staff was very attentive and got my puppy right in when they opened and got me back on the road ASAP. In my opinion Fort St John is lucky to have a vet clinic like this one. Me and my puppy are home and he’s well and we’re both extremely thankful and happy. Read Less

Everything went well. In and out within 20 min for a health check up. We behaved well so my dog received a few complimentary treats!

Great place to bring a sick pet they are always getting me in on short notice and explanation of all charges. They don't overcharge like some clinics do.

I really like this place, they're consistently nice and clearly care about the animals that are brought in. The vet called me back to check how my kitty was doing after being put on antibiotics and asked about him again when I brought in one of my other kitties. They're also very clear in explaining what your options are and how you should go forward. Read Less

Very disappointed with the level of care and service at this clinic. My cat was very ill and they discharged him from their care because they did not have a Doctor from Saturday evening until Wednesday. They made absolutely no transitional provisions for care (to another Doctor or Clinic in FSJ). I had to scramble to find another Vet because my cat was deteriorating quickly upon taking him home. Luckily I called North Peace Vet Services and have not looked back since. Read Less

I used to love the whole experience at the hospital....Justin was great! Although....as per my last 2 visits....I would have to say...I will never attend there again with my fur babies! I will definitely be switching vet clinics. I did give them a chance to make the situation right....I have left 2 messages for Justin to contact me....unfortunately that hasn't happened. It's to bad that I had such a horrible experience as I really used to enjoy going there! Read Less

Rivers animal hospital - Justin and staff. We just lost our beloved pet. They worked hard to find the issue, keeping us informed and making sure we totally understood everything they knew and even when they had no answers, they were honest. In the end letting our boy pass was the best option & Justin called us personally to explain and say how sorry he was. Our boy was treated with love and kindness until the end while in their care the 4 years we had him and we as pet owners couldn't ask for better ppl to care for our pets when we need them. Thank you Read Less

Every time I've came in has been positive. River's staff was so caring and even sent us a beautiful card when we had to put our beloved cat, Darcy, down. They put on a weight loss clinic and helped our other cat, Toothless, lose 10% of her body weight! They've helped us with food questions and tried to help us with a cat we found. Shalise is a wonderful vet tech and Justin was great with our dog too. The other staff are equally as wonderful. Keep up the hard work and loving personalities! Our pets thank you Read Less

I have been dealing with this business for years and have to say I have had nothing but professional, compassionate, over and above service. Β I have had minor and major surgeries done to 2 of my pets and actually received a call from the Vet at 8:30pm at night just to say he was in doing checks and just wanted me to know that my pet was doing well, that was all he called for, so the leaving the dogs in cages, well I have a hard time grasping that. His call was very much appreciated! I also stopped in after work to check on my pet after surgery and they were more than happy Β to let me go to the back to see her. Β I was impressed because one of the staff was placing warm towels on a dog that just got out of surgery and was sitting with it petting it's head. With appointments I have received more than enough information on any questions or care I have inquired about. The business is always clean and friendly and the staff are fantastic.. Β My one pet has a chronic illness and the Vet there is the only one who actually diagnosed it. I took her to 3 other vet clinics Β with no luck, he is the one who after 2 months of research and Β testing finally, finally, figured it out, I have had her on the required medication now for 4 years with no problems. I am shocked at the last review as this has in no way been my experience, Β I have recommended this hospital and will continue to do so in the future. I'm staying put, because and only because my pets are very, very well cared for there and have received fantastic service. Read Less
