Veterinarians near Colchester

“I've been taking my animals here for ten years. They're gentle and understanding. They will inform you of all options and make suggestions when needed.“

“I’ve been bringing my pups to see Dr.Shorter for a little while now, every single time I leave I say “god I love my vet”. He listens, he understands and most importantly he explains things in great detail. He is always willing to try things until we get it right and isn’t a pusher. I am grateful to have found him. The front desk staff as well as the vet techs are also so very lovely. Highly recommend!“

“All I can say is amazing! My cat ate part of a blanket and may have a blockage. Showed up at the vet with no appointment. The receptionist was extremely kind and understanding. They got us right in. Did X-rays. Came up with a care plan and really explained all of our options and were very upfront about all costs involved. The vet was extremely knowledgeable and caring. Would highly recommend them to anyone with a pet. Thank you all so much!“

“They listen to your concerns and they treat your curbs it’s like there own. Very careful handling our babies and explain what our furry lil babies need for supplements and very reasonable prices. They aren’t out to gouge you.“

“Highly recommend Dr Josephine. Listens to our needs and easy to talk to. Takes great care of our dog for years. Great person!“

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. Everyone was so kind and compassionate. We felt listened to and taken seriously and because of that our cat was saved. Highly recommend. Especially Dr. Haley. She was so sweet, professional, and smart we felt like crying. Gizmo and his family says thank you.“

“We've been with River Cove now for over 39 years! Many beloved dogs through thick and thin including cancer, vestibular and other less critical issues. We were there back when Dr Ellis was the sole Doctor (and original owner) at this hospital, ...in its infancy. We've stayed with them all through their growth, while adding staff and new Doctors and new protocols and changes through new owners. We're still there! The staff is very accommodating, supportive and prompt to reply when we have issues and questions! They have text capability on their primary phone number! Nice, no missed voice messages and need to call back! We've seen new staff and new doctors there in an ever-changing animal hospital, yet, whoever is at the counter or replying via text, ...the support for pet and client has never diminished at all. It is always A+. Like many businesses now, they have policies that I am fine with in these ever changing times and do be aware that pet care now is very expensive, no matter where you go for quality care. Be prepared for that. Always good vibes at River Cove.........if they can take you on as a client, I highly suggest you bring your pet to them. they will not let you down. Doctors, Joel E. and Amanda L., Thank you!!! You are THE very best!“

“Wonderful staff... Needed them in a pinch and they were compassionate kind respectable and Carling even in the rain. They helped out and gave us options and treated us with dignity and humanity... They were there for us from beginning to end of our sweet friend and a card that came afterwards. Will recommend and def if need be use their services again. Truly remarkable staff“

“I highly recommend this practice. They are professional and easy to work with. The front desk is always polite, friendly and can schedule you within a reasonable time frame. The EVC nurse Alessandra is phenomenal. She is very knowledgeable and took her time with us even though they were quite busy that day. Overall great experience!“

“Very attentive and competent veterinary professionals. They handled our cat very well and explained what their findings and plan at each step. We had to wait a bit, but that’s how it is with urgent care practices where more severe patients get the attention they need.“

“My cat gets pretty stressed out for her appointments, but I feel like this is the least stressful environment I've been able to find for her. I can tell that this is a space created by people who really love cats. Everyone is always so kind and helpful, and I love the detailed notes I get sent to my email after every visit!“
