My husband and I recently moved to Richmond and blended our animal families. We've been to the vet many times over the last few months establishing care and coming in for different ailments. Every single person we have met who works here has been so nice, kind and patient. We never have to wait for our appointments and never have an issue getting them scheduled timely. Coming from Los Angeles where everything is so rushed at vets, it has been refreshing to have found a practice who manage to find the most patient staff ever. I am constantly calling, emailing and coming in and they always respond promptly and thoroughly. Every vet, tech, front desk staff we have met have been incredible. So glad we found the perfect place to care for our many fur babies!

Always received the best, most patient and reliable care for all of my pets (2 dogs and a cat). River City has been caring for my animals for over a decade and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else! They’re not the cheapest vet around, but you absolutely get beyond what you pay for here. And when it comes to caring for my animals that are closer to children than pets for me, that means the world. The staff here has seen me through the new puppy stage to helping me calm my neurotic middle aged dog to having to say goodbye to a cherished senior pet with grace and kindness. They’ve grown immensely over the years from two doctors into a new larger practice with much more staff, however all of that growth has been absolutely seamless on the patient/parent end. They have grown their offerings to having cutting edge diagnostics and therapies at this location that level up their ability to care for our beloved animals. Chico Wade and Cosmo can’t express enough gratitude for their care over the years. 🙏🏽

I have been to many vets in the RVA area as a former representative for a dachshund rescue group and I have been soo impressed with Dr. Anthony & Dr. Heather at River City Vet. So many area vets are owned by corporations now and seem to be in it for the money. I can tell that is 100% not the case with River City Vet. They are in for the animals. You can really tell they care! I know without a doubt my 4,15, & 17 year old doxies are in the best hands. I can not say enough good things about River City. I don't trust my dogs care to anyone else. As a petsitter/dog walker many times Ive had to email them with random questions and they've always gotten back to me in a matter of hours or sometimes even minutes. When ever I walk in the door the staff is always so welcoming and I'm treated like an old friend and my dogs as if they're their favorite pet! Their prices are comparable if not better than other area vets. If your looking for a vet in the area I highly suggest you use the team at River City Vet!

I’ve been taking my cats here for the past couple of years and am so happy I switched to this practice. I’ve seen multiple doctors here and am always happy with the service provided. Currently Dr. Ereio is my preferred vet just because he was so helpful when one of my cats had hyperthyroidism. He shared how he related because one of his cats had it in the past as well. However, I would recommend any of the vets that practice here. The entire staff is wonderful and their pricing is affordable/fair. Cannot recommend River City Vet enough.

I don’t even know where to start… I am new to this vet. I called them late one night to inquire about switching vets. I rescue, mostly feral and colony cats so a lot of my babies are in poor health when I trap them and in desperate need of veterinary treatment. My previous vet never saw them as precious little lives that have been neglected, forgotten, dismissed, abused and invisible. They were numbers at the end of a receipt. If their conditions required anything past blood work they would push for euthanasia. One of my rescues had gotten an infection after surgery and when I took her in I was asked “how much is too much with this cat?” “Are you doing this for her or for you?” I begged her to please look at my baby and just see all the life she has left in her. She conceded to give me antibiotics and within a week my cat was running around playing with her favorite ball. That was 4 months ago. If I had euthanized her I would have robbed her of the last 4 months she has spent being healthy and happy. I could go on because unfortunately it only got worse for some of my other trapped cats. I called River City Vet about 10 minutes before they closed and the receptionist that answered showed me so much compassion. She gave me an abundance of information to get started and assured me no vet here would ever see any of the lives I save as worthless. I have been twice now with 2 different rescues and seen 2 different doctors and my experience was amazing. When I left today I just cried and cried from guilt for not finding them sooner and pure joy that I have them now. I took a 17 yr old cat to them (Rascals) and this poor baby has had an extremely rough life. The doctor that saw her never saw a 17 yr old cat. She saw just a beautiful cat in need of some answers. She never mentioned euthanasia as an option. She set up a plan to see if we can get to the bottom of things to hopefully give Rascals a great quality of life for however long she has left on this earth. This Vet is absolutely outstanding. The kindness and compassion they have shown to me and my rescues is unmatched and I am certain it will stay that way. This vet is truly a blessing for me and my babies. I rescue on my own and cover the costs on my own and that in itself is extremely stressful but I thank god I don’t have to stress anymore over the quality of care they will receive going forward. Thank you River City Vet for proving their are still veterinary doctors out there that haven’t become desensitized to the lives and well being of our fur babies.
