Riverwood Veterinary Clinic - Clayton, North Carolina

Our pets have received excellent care at Riverwood Vet! I love the way they ask how the other pets in the home are doing each time we bring one in for a visit.
Sadly, our sweet kitty, Thumper, developed a serious medical condition and we had to make the incredibly difficult euthanasia decision. Dr. Adam Saylor was so compassionate and supportive as he guided us through the procedure. He and Vet Tech, Jimmy, were so loving and gentle with her, and patient and kind with us as we tearfully said our goodbyes.
We are so thankful for the excellent staff and service at Riverwood Vet Clinic!

I have been taking both of my dogs to Riverwood Veterinary Clinic for years, and I can’t say enough great things about this team. I’ve had the opportunity to meet all the doctors and techs, and I have never had a bad experience. Every single person at this clinic is not only highly skilled but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to listen, explain things thoroughly, and always help ease any concerns I have about my dogs’ health.

One moment that truly solidified my appreciation for Riverwood was when I unexpectedly had to put my mom’s dog down while she was overseas. It was an incredibly difficult situation, but the compassion and care they showed made the experience as easy as it possibly could have been. They handled everything with kindness, empathy, and professionalism, and I will always be grateful for that.

If you’re looking for a veterinary clinic that truly cares about your pets as much as you do, I highly recommend Riverwood Veterinary Clinic. They are the best!

Just moved back here to Clayton and I have a pup who is very allergy prone. Every time I have called Riverwood they help immediately even if it’s just to let me come pick up some more meds quick. They are ready within an hour of me calling. I appreciate everyone there and so does Aldo!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible kindness, compassion, and exceptional customer service provided by the team during an incredibly difficult time for our family.

When we had to make the painful decision to put our beloved 16-year old dog down, the care and empathy shown by everyone at the clinic were truly remarkable. From the moment we walked in, we felt supported and understood, even though we are relatively new clients. Dr. Saylor and the team's professionalism and genuine concern for both our pet and us as owners made an unbearable situation a little bit easier to bear.

We just received the ashes, paw print, and card, and our hearts were deeply touched by these thoughtful gestures. These keepsakes are a precious reminder of our beloved Bella, and we are profoundly thankful for the care and effort that went into providing them.

It's rare to find a veterinary clinic that goes above and beyond to ensure their clients feel cared for and supported during such emotional times. We are incredibly thankful to have found such a wonderful vet who genuinely cares about their clients and their pets. We are happy our other two dogs will have such great care in the future.

Thank you once again for your kindness and compassion. We are truly grateful for the exceptional care we received.

The staff is great. They always get me in when we need to be seen. A little pricey but what vet isnt? They called to check up on my kitties the next day, after our visit... I cant say enough about this place. I HIGHLY recommend.

i wanted to take a second to thank all of the staff at the riverwood vet. i brought my 1 1/2 year old chihuahua jack russel in, he unfortunately did pass away but all of the staff and vets were so kind and let us take our time to say our goodbyes. we never once felt pressured to make quick decisions about anything. they did anything and everything in there power they could to save my baby and i couldn’t thank them enough for being so kind during a rough time for my family. i would 100% recommend this vets office.

It has taken me some time to write something regarding my experience with Riverwood Veterinary Clinic
I recently lost my puppy to Parvo. With all our recent new responsibilities (taking care of my inlaws whose health has deteriorated and a volatile job situation), I missed an appointment for the final set of shots he needed. This was the shot that could have saved my little guy. I thought I would get around to it, I thought I had more time...but isn't that always the case? We think we have time... until we don't.
I went through all the stages of denial when he was sick. Maybe it was something he ate, maybe someone poisoned him.The night before taking him in I thought he turned a corner. He was back to his playful self, playing with his toys and finally licking some water from my hand after not drinking water for so long. Then it got bad , really bad and I called Riverwood Vet for an emergency visit.
From the very first phone call they were warm , patient and comforting. I didn't know he had Parvo but I had a strong feeling judging by his terrible symptoms. What happened next is something I still struggle with. Everything that followed felt surreal, as if everything moved around me in fast forward while I moved in slow motion.
I was saying goodbye and I didn't want to. Every step of the way the staff was incredible ..displaying a level of empathy and humanity rarely seen or experienced today. I wasn't ready for what happened that day.
I don't know the names of who helped me through this event , I am going to say everyone in that office was empathetic to me that day. They felt my pain and shared that pain with me. They let me hold my boy as he was put to sleep, his pain gone, mine remaining. They gave me privacy to say goodbye. I stood there apologizing for failing him , half expecting him to just jump up and jump on me like he would always do. He was at peace, resting now.
Days later I received a letter from the office . I thought it was just an invoice or receipt , I was not ready for what I opened. A card with my boys Paw print and condolences from the entire staff. I was floored with emotion in the middle of the mail room. I am extremely thankful for the level of humanity and sympathy from this office. This very triggering and depressing event was made easier by their caring actions and I am so....so thankful.
I still hurt every time I pass by food lion. But I am reminded that despite how bad loss can feel this world has good in it that can help. Thank you so much
