River Valley in Niles treated us and our puppy Kayla in the worst way today. After her dying during recovery, we went to pick her (and our other puppy) up. We waited at the counter for 5 minutes ---Charlize and I both crying and 3 women behind there not helping a customer --- When they waited on us and came back up front I was handed JoJo and Kayla was in a box. They were shocked I was upset that she was just being passed over the counter in a box as if she was a piece of mail. Then we were told there were not any rooms available so we could wait in our car for someone to come out and talk to us. Roger took her to the back of the truck to wrap her in a blanket. What he found was beyond horrific! The box was too small for her, he had to rip it down at the corners to get her out. She was on a dirty towel with her own feces and had feces all over her rear. They didn't even clean her up. To add insult to injury, the clerk walked out after Roger threw their box back in the office and asked if we still wanted to talk to someone. When I told her no I didn't want to talk to any of their fricken Drs she said 'oh my God you guys are being so unreasonable'. Then told us 'I didn't kill your dog'!! Huh, really??? She's lucky I was holding JoJo or she would have had her glasses and smirk taken right off her face!

After taking JoJo to another vet this afternoon to make sure he was fine since I pulled him early we were told that any surgery for a dog of her breed was extremely high risk. Gee thanks River Valley, your vet tech never bothered to mention that when I asked her specifically what we should know or watch for with a short snout breed!!!

I used to hear great things about Dr Brandt......maybe he used to be good but his 'all vet tech' assembly line is terrible and your staff is so insensitive!

They saved my dog's life! You could tell they had a genuine care for our dog. The vet had to do and emergency spay, after going to and emergency vet in South Bend that almost talked us into having our dog put down.The River Valley vet gave me his mobile number to check in on our dog every few hours.We now consider them part of our family.
