Rio Grande Animal Hospital
Albuquerque, New Mexico
General Info
Located in the heart of the North Valley near Old Town and Rio Grande Blvd, the staff at the Rio Grande Animal Hospital is dedicated to helping you provide the best quality of life for your pets. Our hospital started out in the early 1940s as a family-owned neighborhood practice and continues to be an integral part of the community. This makes us one of the oldest yet progressive hospitals in the county!
After Dr. Galassini retired in 2009, the practice was purchased by Dr. Daniel Levenson and continues the spirit of an independently owned hospital (no corporate or out-of-town owners). We have 2 full-time doctors, 1 part time doctor, and a full staff of caring, knowledgeable people who excel in the science of veterinary medicine.
Rio Grande Animal Hospital is a full-service small animal hospital offering a wide array of products and services for your pet.
We provide emergency care during normal business hours if needed as well as comprehensive medical exams and consultations for both well and sick pets. Beyond routine vaccinations and annual exams, our hospital and staff offer exceptional care in dental health, internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, radiology and surgery. Our patients also benefit from our on-site blood analyzing equipment, which can provide important information within minutes and a full service pharmacy.
We are excited to offer our clients knowledgeable information and counseling on a wide range of topics such as nutrition and weight control, pediatrics, parasite control (such as fleas and ticks, heartworm, and intestinal parasites), common behavior problems and care of your geriatric pet (including arthritis, pain management, nutrition and quality of life issues)
On behalf of the staff at Rio Grande Animal Hospital, we appreciate your interest in our hospital and look forward to including you and your pet into our Rio Grande Family!
Rio Grande Animal Hospital - part of your community for over 60 years.

I finally found a vet office that I LOVE. Staff here is all attentive, knowledgeable, and they obviously have a passion for pets!
They have been able to schedule us without delay even same day when necessary.
They've always been on time and prices are very reasonable. I've been to vets all over town and this one stands far above the others.

We've had dogs (and cats, though not for some time) for many years. None of the vets we've had were better. Dr. Delanoy is a rare and caring vet. Many blessings are deserved.

Docs are fine, location is convenient but the counter person is so unpleasant that finally decided I am taking my business elsewhere. Calling or coming in with a sick injured animal is already difficult. When you are 'greeted' with a terse attitude it is just not acceptable. This is the consistent interaction I have had with this individual.

My new veterinarian. Both the vet Hopkins and assistants were gentle, positive, friendly, observant, and slow with my puppy. They didn't rush through the appointment. They took the time to get to know my dog. I felt like Dr. Hopkins was thorough in checking my dog before deciding how to proceed. They didn't push treatment but explained what they thought the problem was and what was needed. Made treatment plan w me. Veterinarian Hopkins followed up w me by phone call. Clean, liked waiting area, ontime w my appointment, friendly staff. No cancellation fee for cancelled appointments (even same day - my experience: 30 minutes till appt.) Open and easy to talk to about cost of treatments. I felt heard, understood and most importantly for a veterinarian clinic, I felt like my puppy was understood and her reactions paid attention to. If in Albuquerque I recommend this vet, especially over the VCA's in abq.

Everyone at Rio Grande is excellent! They always take great care of my fur babies and have been exceptionally and extra sweet and caring since the recent loss of our cat Megatron. I love this hospital and everyone who works there! I will never go anywhere else unless they are not open, but that usually means we have an emergency and go to the ER. #1 by far!

This vet really needs to re evaluate its practices. Long story short, I was out of town and the family watching my animals told me my cat was sick that evening, so I told them to take it to the vet, so happens to be this Vet. When they go to take him, he had wandered off, no sign of him. He had a microchip, so we posted lost signs, worried that he may be in danger.Well come to find out, a neighbor crazy cat lady and her daughters, found my cat and took him here to Rio Grande animal Hospital. Same place I was having my pet sitters take him.Now every vet I have ever visited in the last 3 years first thing they do is put the animal on the table, check its vitals and scans the animal for a microchip. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. INSTED THEY WENT WITH THIS LADYS STORY WHAT EVER IT WAS, AND PUT HIM TO SLEEP WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING FOR A MICROCHIP, WHICH IS COMMON PRACTICE, WITH ANY REPUTABLE VET I HAVE VISITED.I care very much for my animals, and would of been happy to pay whatever amount to nurse them back to health.Instead, this second rate place, did not bother to verify a microchipped, which is pretty standard practice, and he was put to sleep. Awful place, I am furious, that. 3 second scan would have saved his life.
