River Road Veterinary took such great care of my girl, Zoe Jolie. Thank you to Dr. Brignac and staff for getting through what may be the worst part of 2026 and beyond - saying good bye to my good girl on 2/4/26. I recommend River Road Veterinary to anyone who has a pet they love and care for. This place shows the same love and compassion to your pet and you. Reasonably priced but your can't put a price on the care of your fur baby. It may be a while to heal from losing my Zoe but I'll be fine. I will always be greatful to River Road Veterinary.
Dr. John Trahan was incredibly personable and knowledgeable on treatment options for both Bear and Zaria. He gave helpful advice regarding any questions we possessed that related to the care of our dogs. Absolutely painless experience.
I chose this veterinary hospital due to the high reviews and now I can see why their praises are being sung. This location is also available to contact through text messaging (which is new to me when interacting with a business or facility) but proved to be beneficial due to the easy accessibility and timely replies. River Road Veterinary Hospital also has payment plans that benefit their customers with perks.

Every step of the way Henry and I felt welcomed and not rushed.
The extra touches like a personalized folder with Henry’s name and breed photo, as well as being able to check out in the room were awesome!
Dr Ben and Zoe were great and I’m so happy they are taking care of Henry.
