I had mad an appointment on Friday March 25 to get my dog her shots and set up an appointment to have her spade. The next morning Saturday the 26th my 2 dogs got in a really bad fight! I wanted to keep the appointment for her shots this day but she also needed medical car. They told me they were busy and because her appointment was only for her vaccine they could probably only get her shots done.

After going in they assessed her and got her in and cleaned up they gave A+ service. The prices are reasonable. I work in the automotive field and I try to treat my customers how I would like to be treated. Rio Bravo veterinary clinic did an outstanding job. I will only bring my pets here from now on! My daughter needs her dog spade and I asked how much her vet wanted and she said $700-$900. Rio Bravo is half that price!

If you need petcare this should be the only place you go. Best service and petcare I have ever seen in a business in my life. I am 48 so I've been around for a while! Thank you Rio Bravo veterinary clinic!

So fast and easy to get my dog checked. Curbside service due to covid, but appointments are on time and there is a very minimal wait once you check in.

I started with this place when my veterinarian retired. This place offers fabulous care for your dog or cat. The veterinarian's aren't pushy and they research the pets problem. They offer what needs to b done and gives you prices before they do the work. I highly recommend Rio Bravo Veterinarian best care my pets have gotten here and priced reasonably as well including when your on a budget.

I had to put my old dog to sleep. Rio Bravo Veterinary made the process painless and without fear for my big guy.

Super over priced, during covid we had to wait outside and my dog was trying to get out of the door and they didn't have control and they door shut on her head. Everyone Ive encountered was rude. Thought oh maybe it was just a bad day. Went again for a follow up, and nothing changed. After that I called b/c my dog was having a lot of seizures and the medication they prescribed was not working so I felt the best was to put her to rest so I called for guidance and they person on the phone showed no empathy, they asked me what i wanted to do instead of suggesting other options.

They didn't even try. They could have looked up my dogs information and tried, but they didn't even have the decency to do that!. Called South Valley pets and they took great care of us immediately! I do not recommend this place what's so ever!. They don't even deserve the one star

Everytime I take my lab mix in there everyone is always welcoming and friendly. All the Drs there always explains what is going with my doggo and answer my questions.

Been taking my dog here for two years and they are the greatest. They even deal with her not wanting to go inside. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone.

Quick and efficient for a heart worm blood test and medication appointment. Prices aren't bad and employees are friendly and good at what they do
