Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include nose-to-tail physical assessments, laboratory testing, and preventive care planning. These annual evaluations help detect early signs of illness and ensure pets maintain optimal health through tailored vaccination and parasite prevention programs. Our veterinarians provide personalized health advice to support pets' longevity.
Veterinary Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures using advanced equipment and techniques. Our surgical services include spay/neuter operations, tumor removals, and soft tissue procedures. Patients receive pre-operative diagnostics, pain management, and detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure safe recovery and minimal discomfort.
Pet Vaccinations
We offer core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs to protect pets against preventable diseases. Our veterinarians customize immunization schedules according to each pet's age, health status, and exposure risks. Vaccinations help prevent illnesses like rabies, distemper, and leptospirosis while supporting community-wide pet health.
24/7 Emergency Care
Our hospital provides urgent care services for pets experiencing trauma, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our emergency team performs critical diagnostics and stabilization procedures for conditions requiring immediate attention. We accept walk-ins and referrals for after-hours veterinary emergencies.

10/10! River Run was amazing we needed to take our lab for a urgent care visit. After contacts some vets around us in Southern Chesterfield area and everyone turned us away due to the holiday rush. I contact River Run they said they take walk ins and they were amazing, professional, treated Buster like he was their own so much so he didn't want to leave. Also very fair pricing! Worth the drive. Very pleased!

A million stars. They took great care of my spicy little husky Lydia tonight. They were patient with her and her anxiety, and were gentle with her even though she is high strung. I appreciate them so much, and am grateful to have found a Vet that is so kind and knowledgeable. The establishment was clean also. She usually left her previous vet traumatized and skittish, this time she left with a spring in her paws and her head held high. The pranciest! We will be bringing her back in the future!

The service at River Run is exemplary. I have always received excellent care for my fur baby. This weekend my dog had a critical emergency and Im not sure if she wouldve survived anywhere else. The staff was professional and courteous and handled the situation excellently. I cant recommend them highly enough.

Exceptional service from beginning to end. Friendly and helpful front desk staff, professional vet techs, compassionate and knowledgeable vets. Just the kind of service you hope for on a Sunday when your pet isnt feeling well. Wish they were closer to me. Definitely worth the drive.

Dr. Parker Nash is a wonderful vet!!! He's very knowledgeable and funny. Had to take our Lucy in and he was so sweet to her. He could have sent me home with meds and ordered more tests but he is an honest vet and I super appreciate that!! Thank you for making what could have been a horrible day a super sparkly day!!

We had an emergency situation with our dog & needed help asap All other emergency centers were full. We just showed up at River Run early on a Sunday morning after a recommendation. They brought us in almost immediately. They were so caring & professional. They took great care of our dog. They helped us to figure out the next steps & helped schedule appointments. Thankfully our dog is doing much better. River Run will be our vet from now on. Cant thank them enough for helping us.
