Dr. Nicholson was the vet that I went to a couple years ago when my dog had to have surgery, she had a bad infection. She was SO good with her, she was gentle, caring, and took VERY good care of our baby girl!!

They are somewhat pricey, but when they are the only local vet, sometimes you do what you need to. Recently we had to euthanize our dog when she got Mammary Gland Cancer, and the Vet and staff were incredibly thoughtful, caring and super sensitive to my daughter and I. Holly was my daughters best friend and companion, and deciding to euthanize her was what was best for her. The staff did everything they could to help my daughter make the decision. They took care of the cremation and when we got her back she was in a super cute urn, and they made an impression of her paw print with her name on it for my daughter as well. Overall they were very amazing to us during a very difficult situation. Kudos to all the staff at Rainy River Vet. You guys were awesome in the last care to my daughters baby Holly.

Always very professional and welcoming.

They really care about your pets and will go out of their way to help you as well as your pets. When I got the phone call about my dog having 2 good sized tumors the vet was crying with me. I think that's a sign of a genuine person.

Danny Harris

Have taken great care of our fur babies!

A sad experience putting down our 14 - 15 year old labrador, but the staff was very professional and compassionate.

My, world came crashing down on December 3 of 2019. My buddy xellos who I raised since a kitten finally was being taken by a condition we dont really know. The people at rainy river told me to bring him in right away and I made the 60 mile journey with my best buddy clinging to what life he had left. The people were compassionate and let me know that it was unlikely he may recover with the efforts available. It broke every bit of my heart but I elected to have him put down and the support and caring from the staff was immense. I'll always carry a hole in my heart for the loss of my dear xellos but the people at rainy river vet took care of me and while it saddens me I look forward to bringing xellos back home where he belongs with his collar and bowl by the fire place. He may be gone but will be forever in my heart. Thank you rainy river vet.

Jordan Howmann

Bringing my animals here feels safe and welcoming. If prices could be reduced, that would make a huge difference for everyone in the community considering that this a rural poverty-stricken area. Thank you for always taking great care of my animals and being so kind.

KANES “Rottie”

The staff here are very caring and helpful. They're going to go out of there way to take care of your pets needs.

mojo jojovra

They are very friendly everytime I go. I only give three stars though because the prices... nail trims for example are $18. That I can handle, but when he needs prevention's or checkups, it costs a lot more than I could spend at bemidji or cook. I'd rather drive there to save money for some of the bigger things. Like he needs surgery next month, and I feel more comfortable financially else where. I've heard both bad and good about this vet! My rate is 3 stars after coming here almost four years.

Save yourself a headache (and a lot of money) and go somewhere else.

Freya Vida

my shi tzu had her neutered here and hwen we got her back she had a lot of wounds from razor and she suffered more on this razor burn and wound than the stitch itself... i am so mad.????????????????????

Ginger Vincent

The vet really took care of my dog during his surgery and and was very understanding to my needs.

Sevon Simon

The staff are always very friendly and caring towards our dogs and extremely knowledgeable. Costs can get a bit high.

Jeff Carlson

Quality care for your pets. The staff maybe some of the nicest people around.

Erika Jutton

We took our cat here a few times. These people are very disorganized. They didn't have records of giving him a rabies shot or any of the vaccinations they told us they had given him 6 months before. The male vet tech was nice amd seemed much more knowledgeable than the other vets, but he was popping our cat's cyst with his fingers. We just moved and our new vet said that this put our cat in danger of infection. Other than the disorganized nature of this facility they always treated us well and addressed our concerns.

Rhonda Paradis

They are so great with my cats. Only lost one star because they have limited hours in my community.

Terry McDonald

Needed to get some Meds for my dog, they called my vet and filled the prescription.

debbie cole

The Vets there are very friendly & understanding !

Brian Staneart

Friendly staff.

Rachel Hasser

Nothing but a great experience here at RLVH! They are quick to make appointments and are pretty friendly. After coming from a big city, I'd say my dog absolutely gets better care here than anywhere we'd been to before. As for cost- I think prices are reasonable for nails and more extensive treatments too.

E RAS

We Love coming to this Veterinary Hospital! My animals LOVE the staff here and we always feel welcome!

Krystl Larson

Rainy River Veterinary Hospital as of 6/28/20 is still doing curb side pick up and drop off. Even though there is no walk in availability, they are still keeping the doors and equipment sanitized.

Katie Seguin

wonderful place! Our experiences have been nothing but positive.

Robert Konz

I was very happy with their efficiency and the desire to get the job right that needed getting done. And a friendly attitude with a smile goes a long way.

Ann Shickell

Everyone at Rainy River Vet is AMAZING!!!

Sherrie

I called and got in that same day. Very friendly and explain things well. Compassionate about my pet's issue.

Haley Walker

I had a scary experience with my cat getting into something and the on call doctor put my worries at ease and helped me care for my cat at home. Even explained I would pay a lot to bring her in just for them to not be able to do any different then I can. She was very professional and was explaining in detail everything I needed to know. Very grateful for them.

Diana Stevens

Helpful, nice, and knowledgeable .

I've been using Rainy River Veterinarian Hospital for over 10 years for my dogs. They are a phone call away on the weekends,when my pups run into some trouble. I've used this more than oncd on a Saturday or Sunday. They are empathetic when I'm concerned about my dogs, and treat them with respect like they are family. Recently, my oldest dog has turned 13, and in the past couple years she's had some big health scares. Most recently the past two weeks. The whole staff is very supportive when i call about questions, and are very patient with me and my emotions. They have gotten Maggie in on such short notice these past few weeks, that i appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. They are dedicated to find an answer to Maggie's health issues. I have no doubt we will get there and they will be with me every step of the way. Dr. Nicholason and Dr. Hasbargen are the best Veterinarian's I've had. ????????

We moved up to Warroad and Rainy Vet was the only clinic serving the immediate area. Our lab suffers from seizures and is on phenobarbital which keeps them under control. As our medication for him was in its last week before refill, we called our prior vet to send the prescription up to Rainy River to be filled. I waited 5 days to hear from them, but never did. I then called to see if the prescription was ready and it was only at this time they told me they were refusing to fill the prescription without seeing my dog first. Now we had only one day of meds left. Luckily they had an opening the next day, so I drove from Warroad to IFalls for a vet visit and to fill his prescription. They charged me for an “emergency” visit even after admitting that they had not called me back after receiving my previous vets prescription request almost a week prior. They apologized for “dropping the ball” but still charged me an emergency vet fee for an emergency they manufactured by “dropping the ball”. In addition, the meds which I normally paid $38/month for were now $97/month through Rainy. I called Thrifty White in Warroad and they said they could fill the prescription for $46/month, so clearly Rainy is charging a gross amount over wholesale. They have no customer service, no tact and always seem to have an attitude. I will never again allow my dogs be cared for by this overcharging and careless clinic.

Si Cain

Expensive, rude, not friendly, expensive, will treat you like you're the ass hole, etc. If it's not an emergency, go somewhere else.

Tracy Stanley

The most amazing staff you could ask for.

Linda Chezick

Friendly staff.

Katrina Kramer

From initial phone call to payment for services, RRVH staff were efficient and treated us nicely.

Sue Christianson

Great service

Jean Evens

My experience at RRVH has always been top notch. Everyone at RRVH works diligently to help my dog, Phillip. From the vets to all other personnel working there.

Oh

A little on the spendy side, but overall great service

Joseph Kapla

Staff is always friendly and very accommodating.

Lesa Jurek

I wouldn't take my pet anywhere but Rainy River Vet hospital!! They are the absolute best veterinary care for you pets.

Tammy Morin

Some of the workers are very rude and not very patient with animals, and it takes more then 5 minutes to trim nails on a dog and didn't get a chance to talk to the front desk about a pamphlet and a record of my dogs shots, it has been a week and half already has to have his nails trimmed again so I know that they weren't done right, also they would not take our Buddy in when he was sick they told us to see if he gets better over the weekend if not then call Monday to make appointment, well our Buddy died 2 hrs after talking to them if I could've done something to let everyone know how they are money is the object not the animals, if there was another veterian in town I would be there instead ! Disagree!

E Kay

Absolutely horrible experience. Staff are inexperienced, poorly educated, racist, and discriminating. Do bring your pets here!

Cookie Anderson

Very pleasant staff and Dr. was awesome.

Anthony Blaise

Very knowledgeable staff

HeadlessBoogieWoogie

GO TO BEMIDJI!!! You will save alot of money and the staff at most of the vet hospitals in bemidji actually CARE about your dog.

Stevie Rose

I had to schedule an emergency appointment over a holiday weekend. They were able to see us within the hour, and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was a little worried about the costs of an emergency visit, but their prices were very reasonable. I've been to a clinic in bemidji and 3 in Duluth (including the emergency hospital), and Rainy River seemed comparable --if not better-- in terms of affordability.

Eilene Marsh

Such awesome people! Great service.

Frances g

Lisa

Called to schedule an appointment for a pet who is bleeding. Was told to come next week. The pet can bleed to death by that time. Helpless.

Marilee Simons
