The vets and staff at Rapids are absolutely wonderful and have an obvious love and respect of animals! They go above and beyond for their clients! I drive from out of town to take my dog here and would not trust anyone else with her care. She is always excited to go to Rapids, even after her spay, that’s how much she loves the people that work there. I really like that they consistently provide a follow up call after visits and are always able to answer any follow up questions I might have. I have noticed a few negative reviews on this site from people who do not take their pets here which is absolutely rediculous! I think posting a review based on third hand information or hearsay is not appropriate and should be ignored.

We have been taking our two dogs Sadie and Bella and our cat Marley here for 4 years now. Jeff is an absolutely amazing vet and always goes above and beyond to fulfill the needs of our babies. In February my husband and I found ourselves at a bit of a loss. Our Saint Bernard had stopped eating and was producing excessive saliva and regurgitating the little food she did eat. We were unsure what was wrong and immediately went to Jeff for help. He ran tests and tried to find ou...t what was wrong. Turns out she had a baseball size paper towel stuck in her esophagus that was blocking most of her food from going down. A couple days later she regurgitated this ball up and we thought all was well again as she was eating and starting to act like herself. On Feb 13, we were up in bed and we heard a noise on the stairs and could hear a whimper, our Sadie girl was laying half way up the stairs on her stomach stuck. She had fallen up the stairs this lead her to have very weak back legs and was unable to walk. We brought her in to see Jeff to find out what was wrong, he did an X-ray and turns out she has full hip dysplasia in her one hip. We were prescribed pain meds and anti-inflammatory for her to help. Dr Jeff suggested us to go see another vet in Sarnia who specializes in rehabilitation. Jeff did everything possible he could to help us find out what was wrong with our girl and help get her back healthy. She now is back to herself, eating and is now able to go for walks! I would recommend this office to anyone who asks! They are absolutely amazing and my husband and I are forever grateful! See More

I can't say enough good things about the vets at The Rapids. We ended up with an emergency situation on Christmas Eve night with our little Shorkie dog being picked up and shaken by the foster dog we had in our care. Dr. Knight called us and met us at the office at 10:00 pm and ended up she needed surgery which happened until 1:00 am on Christmas morning. I am so thankful for the amazing kind and compassionate care that we received that night and continue to receive with follow up visits and calls to make sure she's ok. You and your team really went above and beyond. I will never take my pets anywhere else.

The care given my cat, Spencer was outstanding. He was a very sick boy and the measures taken to make him better were very much appreciated. Dr. Knight was working alone on the Monday when I took him in. She had 4 emergencies as well as regular appointments. She took the time to call and explain what was happening with him. She kept me updated every day after that until Dr Iacobelli took over while she had time off. He also called daily with updates to keep me informed of treatment and progress. They gave me an examination room to visit and spend time with Spencer. Spencer was the only patient there this past Thanksgiving weekend and Dr. Geoff Iacobelli went in to look after him several times a day. Sarnia is very lucky to have Drs. Iacobelli and Knight in our area.

The Rapids have taken care of 5 of our pets. Our pets have received genuinely caring and compassionate treatment each and every time they have visited. It is easy to see that Dr. Knight and Dr. Iacobelli have an absolute passion for their chosen careers. Our newest pets, 2 chihuahuas (who are nervous little guys) receive the best care. Extra time is given to them to make any trip to the vet a positive experience including an after hours emergency visit. The Vets ,assistants and office staff provide us with the very best service. They provide us with the medical care for our pets as well as give all the information we need to maintain good health for out pets. Keep up the great work everyone and thanks for all you do!!

This past Christmas my cat, Mitts, became very ill and I brought her here to the caring hands of Rapids. My experience with the staff and the Vet who provided for her diagnosis and care was professional and caring. And beyond that, they showed great empathy and concern for me when I ultimately had to make the decision to say goodbye to Mitts. It was a tough decision and sorrowful especially at Christmas and Im grateful for the care we both received. I have and will continue to recommend their service to everyone.

A year ago we took our Sphynx cat, Kit to Dr. Jeff Iacobelli after she had a bad reaction from a vaccination from another local vet. Dr. Iacobelli examined her and suggested that due to her smaller size that she should receive vaccinations one at time rather than all at once. This strategy has worked well for her.
Since last year we have adopted another Shynx, Missy, who came with some breathing problems. Dr. Iacobelli diagnosed Missy's problem as a secondary bacterial sinus infection which he believed was left over from a previously cured viral infection. He then went to the trouble of consulting with a veterinary internist before determining the best antibiotic to prescribe for her. She is about three quarters through her antibiotic treatment and breathing much better. We have no doubts she is well on her way to a complete recovery.
We feel blessed to have found The Rapids Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Iacobelli always takes his time with each of his patients and takes great care to educate pet owners in layman's terms. We find that a better understanding of our pets has allowed us to better care for them. Dr. Iacobelli, Dr Knight and all the staff at The Rapids are wonderful, caring professionals who we highly recommend to any pet owner.

We love this clinic. The vets are wonderful and professional and it's the only place that we've gone to that they have called the next day to see how our fur baby is doing. We have had minor issues with our dog's health and have even had an emergency call. 5 star service ever time.

The Rapids have taken care of 5 of our pets. Our pets have received genuinely caring and compassionate treatment each and every time they have visited. It is easy to see that Dr. Knight and Dr. Iacobelli have an absolute passion for their chosen careers. Our newest pets, 2 chihuahuas (who are nervous little guys) receive the best care. Extra time is given to them to make any trip to the vet a positive experience including an after hours emergency visit. The Vets ,assistants and office staff provide us with the very best service. They provide us with the medical care for our pets as well as give all the information we need to maintain good health for out pets. Keep up the great work everyone and thanks for all you do!!

This is an exceptional animal hospital. The doctors take their time to greet and love up your pets each and every time you visit. They are knowledgable and I will always bring my pets and recommend the Rapids team! Despite this recent string of 1 star reviews from people who don't even bring their pets to this clinic - this place is nothing short of amazing and the staff truly care for all animals that step into their establishment.

This past Christmas my cat, Mitts, became very ill and I brought her here to the caring hands of Rapids. My experience with the staff and the Vet who provided for her diagnosis and care was professional and caring. And beyond that, they showed great empathy and concern for me when I ultimately had to make the decision to say goodbye to Mitts. It was a tough decision and sorrowful especially at Christmas and Im grateful for the care we both received. I have and will continue to recommend their service to everyone.

If this is true i dont think i can trust your judgement..... This is truly distributing to me.... I'm not too sure if I could trust the newest member of our family to someone whom would not do the right thing!!! Regarless of CLOSING TIME!!!

We just left your office and wanted to say thank you for taking the time to care for Mollie tonight. You have always been very compassionate with both of our dogs and tonight was no exception. We love our animals very much and it's reassuring to know that you are there for them no matter the hour.

A year ago we took our Sphynx cat, Kit to Dr. Jeff Iacobelli after she had a bad reaction from a vaccination from another local vet. Dr. Iacobelli examined her and suggested that due to her smaller size that she should receive vaccinations one at time rather than all at once. This strategy has worked well for her.
Since last year we have adopted another Shynx, Missy, who came with some breathing problems. Dr. Iacobelli diagnosed Missy's problem as a secondary bacterial sinus infection which he believed was left over from a previously cured viral infection. He then went to the trouble of consulting with a veterinary internist before determining the best antibiotic to prescribe for her. She is about three quarters through her antibiotic treatment and breathing much better. We have no doubts she is well on her way to a complete recovery.
We feel blessed to have found The Rapids Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Iacobelli always takes his time with each of his patients and takes great care to educate pet owners in layman's terms. We find that a better understanding of our pets has allowed us to better care for them. Dr. Iacobelli, Dr Knight and all the staff at The Rapids are wonderful, caring professionals who we highly recommend to any pet owner.
