Used to like this place for boarding before they jacked their overnight rates from $25 to $45! They give some BS about all the extra "services" they add on. One on one time being one of them; please other facilities charge $3/day for that service. And all my dog wants is a place to eat and sleep, she's really old. If you want to add on services make it optional! It really is too bad, we won't be back, and they used to be super convenient for us! Read Less

This is a correction of a review I put on a while back. My experience at River City, for several years now, has been wonderful! We had 2 beagles and regularly took them both. I put a one star view on by MISTAKE, thinking it was the highest rating, so this is a major correction to let folks know how we feel about the care and concern our beagles always received (we have only one now, and still take her there!) Love the service and staff there! Read Less

A bit pricey for a vetrinarian but was well worth it. Waiting room is great they have a play area to entertain the kids while our dog got all his shots and a check up. I love how they handle the animals and my favorite part is they are a no far practice. My dog felt as comfortable as he could at their office and didn't bark once at the vet or the staff. They really seem to know what they are doing. They even have plan bundles for services that our dog needed. It made it much easier to take my kids and dog to the vet on spring break which would normally be a bad experience for us but was a wonderful experience for us. We will be going back for all our vetrinary care in the future as well. Read Less

Worst experience I have ever had at a vet. We were in 4 months prior for a normal exam and shots. My dog needed a booster shot, made an appointment, got the shot. When I went to pay they had additionally charged me for another exam. She said that this is their policy to give an exam (and charge for it) for shots no matter how recently we have seen the animal. On my first visit they (tried to) pressure us into buying one of their "packages". When I went in for this booster shot they tried again to sell us a package. It is clear all they want to do is sell $$$ and to charge for services that other vets do not. I will never go back! Read Less

We have a family member that is our vet so I can’t speak about the hospital. I have been taking my 5 month old mini golden doodle to the pet retreat and love it! Every time you walk in the staff at the front desk and the ones that care for him are very pleasant. I love being able to check in on the cameras, I can tell he loves going. He gets so excited when we pull up he knows he gets to see his friends. Read Less

Recently relocated to Eagle & was searching for a vet to care for 3 dogs. The receptionists at this office are top notch - kind & organized. Made it possible for all dogs to be seen on the same day. We had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Troska & in the short time we have been here, two of our dogs have needed additional care to address more complicated health issues. Dr. Troska was able to quickly diagnose and recommend a care plan that has made our dogs healthy again. Very pleased with this veterinary office & would recommend to anyone. Read Less

Choosing a vet is an overwhelming process, especially being new to an area. But if you are looking for a vet, River City is an excellent choice. They were very quick to see my cat, took great care of him, and kept me in the loop with their findings along the way. I really appreciated their help and will surely be back in the future for all my vet needs. Read Less

You don't realize how good you have it until you go somewhere else and realize how far good service and care go. I started going to River City about a year and a half ago when I adopted my first dog (who admittedly is a handful and can be aggressive) and they have always been very patient, warm, and accommodating. Since I started going to RCVH, I've moved twice and adopted another dog, so I tried going to another vet closer to my new home and it wasn't the same. I was actually disappointed with how detached and abrupt the doctor at the other place was with my docile dog and knew there'd be a problem if he treated my aggressive dog. RCVH takes their time in making sure they provide the best treatment and you understand what's going on--which makes a world of difference when your dog's health is concerned and surprisingly, is missing at most animal hospitals. Case in point, RCVH is well worth the commute for me and my pets and I won't be going anywhere else for a long time. Read Less

My puppy had an allergic reaction to a vaccination and the team at river city vet was able to get me a same day appointment to be seen. Fast forward 2 weeks and my little man had an allergic reaction to a bee sting, and once again they were able to get me in for a same day appointment! Not once did they refer me off to an emergency vet. I feel they truly care about my puppy and I love that they will see him in a pinch! Also, check out their health plans, it's a great way to save money and make pet visits affordable. Update: This vet office is amazing! I am constantly surprised by their amazing care. I call and they know exactly who me and my dog is, my dog is not just another number :) Read Less

Dr. Jen Puckett is great! She is very thorough and takes her time with you and your pet. I never felt rushed either. It's only $1 for the exam for new patients!! They are full service too! They having grooming, a pet resort, an urgent care option (which I actually have had to use) and a cool little treehouse in the lobby for the kiddos not on four legs :)Read Less

I will have to say that this veterinarian shop is great. I am a new dog owner and wanted my mind at least. So I went there, no appt and never been there before and they actually fit me in. I couldn't believe it. Thank you guys for helping out me and Tüske. Read Less

Found River City on Yelp. So glad we did! We moved into the area last month and need a vet. Our 4 year old Lab Buddy broke his nail and it was pointing upward. It was Friday night and needed an appointment asap! They scheduled us quickly on Saturday and took care of Buddy! Read Less

River City Vet is outstanding! A few years ago our dog was sick and needed a surgery. We had a set amount that we could spend and no more. Once they started with the surgery they realized it would cost more than they thought. We couldn't pay what was required but instead of putting our young dog down, they finished the surgery and did all the post-op checkups for what we told them we could afford at the outset. We now have two new dogs and we will never go anywhere else for our veterinary care. They truly have the best interest of the animals in mind and work hard to build good, trusting relationships with the pet owners. They have certainly earned our business for life!!! Read Less

Our family has been client and patient of River City for over eight years. With all senior pets now the challenges of care are greater then ever. All the staff at River City go out of their way to be accommodating and are always compassionate with what ever my current crisis might be. Also, back in his younger years my pup was a big fan of the doggy day care. Great during the winter when there is snow everywhere. From the front desk staff to the veterinarians in the exam room there is a great team effort. Read Less

Just took my almost 15 week old puppy there today and everything was GREAT. He has an infected rash, and I loved how they went over everything with me before just doing it. They also do estimates for the pricing so you know what to expect, and don't get a huge surprise at the end. This also made me feel better spending the money that can seem like too much at times because I understood why and what it was for. I would also say their prices are very reasonable compared to others in the area. They are also very knowledgeable, and gave me a great idea of what we might be dealing with in the future good or bad. THANKS SO MUCH AND EVERYONE TAKE YOUR PETS HERE! Read Less

AMAZING... this place rocks. My Aurora love this place and so do I. I feel so happy and know that my puppy is safe and having fun. the prices are good and I feel like the staff really really loves their job. I will not take her anywhere eles. Read Less

My dog and I had a great first experience with River City Vet Hospital.   The friendly staff immediately made us feel welcome.  All my questions were thoughtfully answered by Vet Techs and the Veterinarian.  Received a follow-up call the next day.  I'm very happy to have found a caring, thorough medical establishment for my pet. Read Less

Both the wife and I have our dogs on a vet plan at ...dare I say....BANFIELD...however, it seems like they are always too busy to get a person in or the wait is prohibitive...so when our little chihuahua (female) got sick and seemed to be in need of a vet service, we were glad to find one just around the corner from where we live (within 5 miles)...so we called...were told to bring her in, was seen by the doctor within just a few minutes, he seemed to know what he was talking about, made suggestions and offered up advise....am very please with the service the professionalism as well as the courtesy and quick response we were given, we WILL be RETURNing if we ever require additional animal service. thank you RIVER CITY VET HOSP. Read Less

We love River City Veterinary Hospital! They are always willing to discuss everything as well as look at every option possible to keep our pets healthy and happy. Their Paw Plan is really reasonable and makes it easy to take care of our pets. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a Vet for your fur babies. ;) Read Less

I love taking my dogs to River City! I'm always greeted with a smile. I feel like we get truly individualized care and the staff really has an interest in helping my dogs get to their best health. One of my dogs has had ongoing bladder issues that wasn't really explored at our previous vet office. Dr. Puckett at River City has really done her job trying to get the issue resolved for good. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Read Less

I contacted these guys to do my dogs' nails after having them "groomed" at another vet the previous week. The groomer didn't do my dogs' paws or nails and these guys are close to me so I called them. They were able to get me in the same day and suggested I get one of my dogs' nails done every two weeks until the quicks were grown backwards a bit. They were quick and efficient. When I went in, the atmosphere was frazzled, like everyone was just slightly overworked. Maybe they were overbooked. I didn't get warm fuzzies. Don't get me wrong, they weren't unfriendly at all. They just weren't as welcoming as the other vet I'd gone to. Apparently they needed my dogs' vaccination records for baths (?!) Since we just moved here from out of state, we didn't have everything unpacked yet and our lame vet from back home didn't have us in their system. So we had to skip the baths. Bummer.They were quick and efficient and got us in and out fast. From the time we checked in to the time we were all done, it was about 10 minutes - not too shabby considering it was 2 dogs. One star off for pricing. It was $38 plus tip for both dog nail trims. I later found out there is a place in Eagle that will do it for $10. $38 is ridiculously steep for a nail trim. I spend a lot of money on my dogs and I don't mind doing so at all but I don't lose sight of what's reasonable - and this price wasn't really reasonable. Despite the good points here, I won't be coming back because of the pricing. Some people are fine with it, but I just don't see how they can justify that, especially considering grooming isn't their primary function or money maker. There are people who accept it and that's totally cool! I just don't happen to be one of them. Read Less

I just got a puppy a week ago (Bento) and this is my first time owning a puppy so new mama fear is in the back of my mind constantly. I had noticed that he and a soft lump on his tummy, what I googled said it was an Umbilical Chord Hernia. I contacted River City via Yelp and they answered me within the hour! When I finally had a chance to call them they knew who I was and what I was calling about and they had informed me that they had saved a spot for me to bring Bento in the very next day! How thoughtful was that!? The staff immediately fell in love with Bento the moment he walked in and they showed us the doggy daycare and let Bento meet one of the smaller dogs. Bento took to them quickly as well, giving each of the staff well deserved puppy breath kisses! When we went into our exam room our Tech was so loving a gentle with him he let her do her exa, with little complaint, the worst part for him was the stethoscope - definitely thought it would've been the thermometer! He was such a good boy, he met Dr. Harsch who was also very gentle and caring toward Bento and gave him his first shot with ease. He also explained the Hernia issue so that I could understand it for Bento's health, he didn't talk down to me which is refreshing and beneficial for a doctor and patient relationship! Bento and I can't wait to go back for his next appointment in 3 weeks, Thank You River City Vet for loving on my pup as much as I do! Read Less

We're very happy with our experiences at River City Vet. Dr. Harsch treats all 3 if our dogs and is just wonderful. He's very knowledgeable, patient, kind and puts us and our dogs at ease. The staff is also terrific! Very friendly! Highly recommend! Read Less

Although very pricy compared to our vet in our previous state, we really love this vet place. Everyone is so nice and the vet and her assistant are very thorough. The center is very nice and we are going to board Ginger in December for a week, with a half day of socializing with other dogs Read Less

Super nice, friendly, caring staff that seems totally committed to the best experience possible in regards to our pooch & his parents! There is no faking a happy dog so he gives them a very high paw to hand bump!Magoo's Mom, Taryn Read Less

We love Dr. Harsch and all the staff! They have taken extra care of all our dogs! They were also very caring when our 13 year old dachshund was ready to pass on. They made her very comfortable and reassured us that she would not be in pain. They just care! Love River City Veterinary Hospital! Read Less

We worried our Bayden was ill. River City got us in quickly and did a thorough check. They talked to us about Bayden's arthritis and how to care for him. We have always had a great visit whether it was an emergency or wellness check.  I trust taking my furry babies there and know they will always get the best care.  We live out in Nampa and make the long trek because of their hours and care. Totally worth it! Read Less

I've only been to one other veterinarian in the area, this was my second place I have taken my dog to. My dog didn't really know it was the vet so he wasn't on high alert which was really nice, the staff was really nice and friendly. I think the best part of the trip was meeting Dr. Harsch! He really looked at my dog and did a full through examination unlike the other place i had been to. He really heard what I was asking and gave me loads of information and for that I am very grateful! My dog seemed to love it there too! He did awesome! Read Less

Love River City Vet, staff very professional & polite. My kitten was very relaxed & comfortable which puts this mama in her HAPPY place!!! If you have fur babies go checkout River City Vet...you will not be disappointed! Read Less

They do a great job with exams and spending time answering questions.  Gentle with the animals. I saw an employee spend 20 minutes gently coaxing a dog into the room for a bath, never pulling or forcing them. I think that's great because you never know what happens when you drop off your dog. All of the staff are very helpful Read Less

I have taken my cat Samantha to River City for over a year now and each and every time I feel like they have answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable with the tough decisions I had to make and above all I feel like they genuinely care about their customers and their pets. With the help of Dr. Harsh and Laura at Gentle Goodbyes I was fortunate enough to get to spend one more year with my precious friend. I would recommend them to all my family and friends and will continue to use their services when needed. Read Less

We've been to many Boise vets over the years, and River City is our favorite. Our standard vet is Dr. Harsch, who remembers our dog and has great rapport with animals and humans. We have visited other vets within the office and always had a good experience. Our favorite things: -Open Saturday and until 7 pm weekdays. No excuses, and plenty of scheduling flexibility. -Friendly staff with good communication.  If we call and talk to someone and come in later, we can expect any employee to know why we are there (no re-explaining required). -Indoor kid playground. Very nice if you have non-fur children with too much energy. -Daycare and boarding has 24/7 webcam. Our less favorite things (noteworthy, but not at all an issue):-Office is a little out of the way. -The groomer books up FAST.  Set those appointments early. Read Less

I can't say enough good about River City Vet. From front of the house staff, to the doctors and medical assistant staff, to the daycare  and groomers.  They make you and your pet feel very special and important. They are all so caring and very good at what they do. My dog gets so excited whenever we pull into the parking lot and cannot wait to get inside to see everyone.Rates are reasonable. Thank for all that you do River City Vet!! Read Less

I switched vets a few years ago, after receiving subpar care for my animals at another facility.  I found River City Vet Hospital and knew it was the best place for my two dogs who are like my children.  The staff and vets truly care about the animals in their care. They have an amazing daycare facility and every time I bring my dogs in, even for something as simple as a nail trim, it's obvious they love what they do.  I'll never take my pets anywhere else! Read Less

I board my dog here and love to be able to see her on webcam, she usually comes home tired which is great for us since were tired from being out of town. Staff is great, super friendly and give a report of how your dog was in their environment. I've boarded her multiple times with them and will continue to use them. Read Less

I initially visited River City because we were looking for a same day appointment on a weekend for our pup. They were open and willing to fit us in. From the first visit, we felt at home with River City Vet. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and took adequate time to address our dog's issues. I felt their prices were reasonable too. They have become our permanent vet and we are grateful for the quality care offered to our pup. Read Less

We took our older dog, Rocky, to River City Vet when we first moved here in 2013. It's a bit of a drive for us, but it's well worth it. Sadly, Rocky passed away in April this year. Dr. Harsh let us say goodbye to him in the private room. It was so hard, and I could tell even Dr. Harsh took it hard. You get so attached to your fur babies, and I'm sure the staff does as well. We had Rocky for nine years. It was just his time as he was old.Read Less

River City has been caring for our dog since he was a puppy. They have seen him though two surgeries and have always gone above and beyond to ensure hs well being. Not only that, but my brother, who is in the military, was in the process of moving across the country with his family and cat when they had a pet emergency in the middle of nowhere. Sarh took their call, persisted through several dropped calls because of their remote location and walked them through their hardship. Who does that? I am so grateful and blessed to know there are people who still really care! Thank you River City Vet! Read Less

We absolutely LOVE River City Veterinary Hospital! The staff is so friendly! My dogs just can't wait to play in the Doggie Daycare! We get so excited to watch them play on their cool Web Cam. I just can't say enough about their genuine love for what they do!! Read Less

Dr. Harsch is always kind and gentle with our 2 Pomeranians. The office is conveniently located, immaculate and the staff makes certain our pets are scheduled so we do not have long-waiting times.. The office always remind us when prescription meds and innoculations are due. Also -- excellent grooming and dental services! Read Less

I have taken all my dogs and cats in. Dr. Harsch is a wonderful Doctor. So kind and easy to talk to. Vet techs are very helpful as well. The daycare and lodging area is nice. The caretakers are very sweet and loving to all cats and dogs that enter!! Very pleased with their services! Read Less

Super nice and clean facility.   Bids great job with our fur babies.  Be sure to inquire about various boarding prices such as doggy daycare,  one on one time, etc. which may result in add fees.  We will be going back. Read Less

First trip in today. Friendly staff. Matt Harsh was very nice and down to earth. I had heard good things about this place and found it to be in walking distance witch is very helpful because I can't get my lab in and out of my truck with arthritis in his hip and back. I would refer anyone to River City Vet. Read Less

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This was the first time I had to take my dog to a Vet and I was scared of going somewhere she would have just been a patient. But not here. Everyone treated her like a queen. They loved her, took time to care for her and explain to me everything that was going on. 24hrs after leaving I was a little concerned with her progress so I called and I spoke with a nurse who put my mind at ease. Every person we encountered here was kind, loving, and helpful. We are so grateful for the kind souls and loving people at this wonderful River City Veterinary Hospital. Thank you all who cared for my little Roxy! Read Less

Couldn't ask for better service. Dr Liddell was so caring and gave us very detailed information about our sick kitty. She was honest and upfront with what we were going to be dealing with. The office staff is always friendly and welcomes us and our cat. They make you feel at home no matter the severity of the case. High class service. The clinic is one of the nicest I've ever seen. 5 stars aren't enough.Read Less
