A longstanding tradition.

We are one of the longest tenured AAHA accredited practices in the entire nation! Fewer than 15% of veterinary practices in the United States are AAHA accredited. To become an AAHA practice, an animal hospital must undergo regular and comprehensive evaluations on approximately 900 standards of veterinary care. Why do we do it? Simple. We believe your pet deserves only the highest standards of care in the world!

A unique approach.

To us, it is obvious that every pet is unique. We believe that in order to be as effective as possible in treating your pet, we need to really learn about your pet’s unique health situation and requirements. To us, it’s a real joy to do… We are inspired to do what we do because we have a deep feeling of love and compassion for animals. Your pet will be treated with the same level of care and attention as if it were one of our own.

At River North Small Animal Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.
