★★★★★

We've had some rough experiences with other vet offices. But this place LOVES animals and will do everything they can to support you and your pets. They have seen one of our cats a few times for wound care and have been so helpful discussing different scenarios and the corresponding options. They reached out the next day to see how our cat was doing and have given us detailed advice over the phone as we tracked healing at home. We've been able to get a same day appointment on more than one occasion. Their fees seem very reasonable and they always discuss costs of different options ahead of time. We've brought in two cats and one dog and had great experiences each time. The icing on top is seeing how they adore the animals they are working with - if you want a vet who is going to care about your pet nearly as much as you do, this is the place to go!

You guys have been taking care of my pets for almost 20 years starting with my cat Casey, then my yorkie, Eddy, and now my basset, Penelope. I couldn't ask for better care for my furry family members. Thank you so much.

Fantastic doctors and team!

Philip S.

★★★★★

My partner and our fur baby have been to 3 different vet clinics due to moving multiple times. At Rice Pet Clinic & Hospital, they treat my 80# reactive baby with so much patience and understanding. They respect his space when he’s overstimulated, make accommodations when he’s upset about needles, and love him up when he’s excited to make new people friends.As a parent of a reactive dog, I am often nervous about introducing my baby to many people, especially clinics. I feel we are accepted and respected every time we come to this clinic. I appreciate each staff member I’ve had the pleasure to introduce my fur baby to! Thank you for all that you do for my fur baby and myself as a dog parent!

Grace B.

Anne G.

★★★★★

Picked this clinic on a whim since it was walking distance from my apartment and so so glad I did! They did a fantastic job taking care of our elderly kitty, and now they’re taking wonderful care of our two kittens. Every staff member I’ve spoken to has been kind and patient, and I’m always given plenty of time to ask questions and go over everything. Pricing is very reasonable and very transparent, I’ve always been given detailed estimates of costs and never felt rushed or pressured. I’ll be moving soon and will definitely be making the 40-mile round trip to come back here whenever my kitties need care - thank you all!

Alec M.

★★★★★

All the staff at the Rice Street Pet Clinic are amazing. Every time I have called either with a question or request they are happy to accommodate.My wife and I have been taking all our dogs over the years there and have always felt that my pet was special and I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them to any and everybody.

John K.

★★★★★

Loving my local clinic!My two kittens are absolutely adored here, and it's so nice to have such friendly reception staff, vet techs and veterinarians looking after my fur babies!

Megan P.

★★★★★

They almost always get us in there the very next day when we call with some sort of emergency, and they have a nice system of organization - particularly with reactive dogs who can't be in the same room with other dogs. The vets are also super friendly and knowledgeable. This is by far our favorite vet clinic and we will continue to come here even though we moved to the Uptown area, 30 minutes away. That is how much we love them.

Zachary A.

★★★★★

We are grateful for Dr Jason’s attentiveness to Goya’s needs and how well he handles his anxiety issues. He is also very patient answering our questions.

Cynthia Anderson P.

★★★★★

I cannot say enough positive things about the care and compassion of everyone I encountered at Rice Pet Clinic. I was visiting from out of state and had to make the decision every pet owner dreads, to put my sweet boy down. From the moment we entered the building, to the follow up a few weeks after... the thoughtfulness and details are very appreciated. Thank you for taking great care of us during this difficult time.

Brianna V.

★★★★★

Dr. Casey was very patient and answered all of my questions. My cat gets very nervous going to the vet, but he was very calm at Rice Pet Clinic. The treatment Dr. Casey provided is already working well for my cat after only a few days. I’m very grateful for her help!

Abbey F.

★★★★★

My cat had a bowel obstruction and they were able to get him in right away and took amazing care of him. They thoroughly communicated and gave me updates consistently. They also gave me a very transparent quote for surgery which is something I greatly appreciate. Excellent, kind, caring staff! Will be our permanent go-to vet for all our pets now.

The staff went out of their way to make my dog comfortable during her annual exam and care. While I think my dog is perfect I know she has anxiety issues but they were so calm and caring that she let them do whatever they needed to.

Cheryl M.

We loved the staff/vet. We were able to get in timely to take care of our dogs ear infection and you really listened to our concerns and care for our pets and didn’t preach (they are a little overweight) but offered gentle suggestions on how to get them where they need to be. You will definitely be our families vet going forward.

First time at this clinic.Everyone was so incredibly caring and sweet. You can request an appointment online and they’ll call you back and walk you through it.The vet I had (so sorry I forget her name) made sure my dog was comfortable when she was feeling scared and nervous. She was AMAZING. She even sat down on the floor next to my dog to help comfort her with me through it all when talking to me about her treatment. It meant a lot to me.1000\10. Thank you so much. So grateful for your patience and kindness. ❤️
