Riverview Animal Hospital

Service is FANTASTIC! They took our puppy in for an emergency surgery after swallowing a fish hook. My Husband and I are blown away by how these folks go "the extra mile". Thanks to all the staff for saving our pup..!

Took my dog in for stitches and everything went well. Then 2 weeks later called to have them removed they said they were to busy and to call elmwood. I was ticked off thinking elmwood was gonna charge me but they said it would be free. Was pleasantly surprised. Over all pleased with the service I got.

Our 3 year old Shih Tzu Charlie needed emergency surgery.
After the surgery was over, Dr. Penny M called and put our mind at ease. Since then, we’ve received several follow up phone calls to see how Charlie is doing.
I can’t say enough good things about how caring Dr. Penny & the staff have been.
They sympathize that he’s more than “just a pet”. He’s part of the family.
Thank you Dr. Penny and everyone at the Riverview Animal Hospital.

I was referred to Riverview Animal Hospital by my vet in Fredericton when my English Setter (Aspen) became suddenly ill and it became apparent she would require more medical intervention than could be provided here. We arrived at the clinic and very quickly the decision was made to do exploratory surgery based on the tests and ultrasound performed and she went immediately into surgery. A mass was found outside her intestine, and infection had spread through her body. There were 4 vets in the clinic that evening that conferred as to the best course of action. The mass was lanced and debrided as it could not be removed due to it's location, Aspen remained in the clinic for about a week, until a drain from her abdomen could be removed. I was invited to visit with her, help to get her eating, and I could call any time day or night to see how she was doing. Dr. Arsenault was terrific, as were all the hospital staff from the ladies on the front desk to the vet techs to the vets. I felt Aspen was in very good hands and would receive the best possible care that could be provided for her. The follow up has been amazing, from receiving calls as to the results on samples sent to the pathologist and to bacteriology, to inquire as to how she was recovering at home, tips to get her eating, and so on. I have felt truly supported throughout this ordeal. It is now almost 2 weeks since her surgery, and I just received another call from Dr.Arsenault to check to see how Aspen is doing. He is truly a very kind and caring vet. My experience with Riverview Animal Hospital has been very positive. Thank you so much for the compassion and care provided to Aspen.
