Riverview Animal Hospital is committed to doing everything possible to combat the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

As part of this commitment, effective immediately, Riverview Animal Hospital will be instituting the following precautionary protocol to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

Our doors are unlocked and we are allowing clients into the building. Please maintain proper social distancing once inside.
Face masks are required to enter the hospital.
Hands must be sanitized upon entry.

EMERGENCY CASES

If you are coming with a critical pet and need assistance at the entrance please call us at 506-387-4015 so we can be ready to help you.
All acute emergent same day appointments will follow a triage based system.
Your pet will be triaged by a Veterinary technician, who will determine the level of care that is needed for your pet. Critical patients will be our top priority, and will be seen first. This may increase wait times for patients that are triaged as non-urgent.
Emergency fees will apply.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.
