Veterinary medicine is at a critical moment. We are losing high-quality, knowledgeable, and caring people to other fields. Our team is not immune to the pressures of providing high-quality medical care. The burden felt by our team is exacerbated by inflation and the high cost of living in our area. This increase will go directly to supporting our technical team who has been working very hard to keep your pets healthy. Late arrivals (more than 10 minutes), missed appointments or appointments rescheduled with less than 24-hour notice will be subject to a $75 cancelation fee.

They have been taking care of my geriatric dogs for the last 2 years. Dr. Bartels always takes time to explain what is happening and walk through the pros and cons of different treatments. It does seem a little expensive, but I came from Texas, and was using a vet that was mainly a livestock/equine practice, in a place with a much lower cost of living, so I did have some sticker shock when I first moved here. That said, I am happy with the service they provide. I recommend River Cove to everybody.

The River Cove team is incredibly thoughtful, organized and communicative - it is an outstanding experience. We have been in 7+ times in the last year, and every time, we receive excellent care, help in making decisions (both practical and financial), and thoughtful follow-up calls and texts to ensure our pet is well. We are very grateful for their services.

New to using River Cove Animal Hospital and wasn't disappointed! They were thorough with examining my ill kitty, and their reccomended solution was thankfully the right option. They did come to get my cat from the car 15+ minutes after the scheduled start time (social distanced visits), but they really take their time with all animals so that was alright. Very much looking forward to visiting again for a teeth cleaning for my kitcat and a new vet meeting with my husband's cat.

Such a compassionate staff. They take time to explain everything and listen to you. Always friendly and welcoming. You can truly tell that everyone who works there loves what they do. Very fair in cost and they take time to explain everything to ensure you understand any shot, testing, etc. before they charge you. Thank you for treating our (pet) family like your own!

We are new puppy owners and are absolutely thrilled we chose Dr. English at River Cove as our vet. He has been beyond helpful and attentive as we navigate all that comes with being first time pet owners. His staff is equally great, and I've been very impressed with how they've navigated the limitations and changes caused by the current pandemic. We highly recommend River Cove and Dr. English- thank you, thank you!

River Cove is the best vet in the Burlington area. They are incredibly service focused and very reliable in all circumstances. I have taken three pets here over time and recently adopted a disabled dog. The team at River Cove did absolutely everything to accommodate the new girl's needs. These are fantastic caring professionals. Wouldn't go anywhere else! They care so much about each animal- simply amazing health care for your best friend.
