Rivertown Animal Hospital 135 New England Place, Stillwater, MN 55082

"We absolutely love Rivertown. We brought our cat for an emergency and she had never been so comfortable at a vet so we switch all our animals here. They are so patient with our anxious dog and answer questions over the phone. They spend time talking through everything and we just appreciate them so much. Dr Rutledge and Dr Howe are the best!!"

"I had such a welcoming experience from the moment I walked in to checking out from my appointment. Kelso was so excited and enjoyed meeting the associates! The tech Nichole was so informative and asked all the right questions along with answering any of my own. The Dr. made my dog feel very comfortable and I didn’t feel rushed throughout the entire visit. I feel like I got my moneys worth and would recommend River town animal hospital to friends and family!"

"I have taken my furry family to see Dr. Carrie Howe for the last five years. I have 3 rescued cats and 2 rescued dogs, and they like to keep us on our toes. Dr. Howe is amazing. She’s friendly, patient, and respectful of pets and their owners. Her bedside manner is stellar and her vet tech staff mirror her professionalism and high standard of care. I also want to put a shout out here for Christa who works the front desk. She was the first person we ever met at the practice when we moved to Minnesota, and she’s seen us through a lots of ups and downs. Her empathy and kindness cannot be overlooked, as the front line of customer service desk staff sees all the happy babies and all the sad goodbyes."

"My pets have been going to Rivertown for years, and have enjoyed great care from all of the staff there. Just a few days ago we had two new puppies to our family and never once thought about going anywhere else. I’m always confident that my dogs are getting the best possible care, and that the doctors and care team, consult with me about options and costs in advance."

"This is probably my favorite vet I've used in almost 20 years of having dogs. I have met multiple vets and they are all wonderful, compassionate, and understanding, especially when it comes to my dogs. My most recent dog is very nervous when it comes to vaccinations and doesn't like to be restrained. The vet, tech, and front desk staff are all so kind and understanding to him. No matter which person I schedule with I know they will be kind and understanding. They have multiple strategies to help dogs feel safer and feel less pain when getting vaccinated. I really appreciate all they have done for my dogs!"
