What Sets RHVS Apart

Unlike traditional referral centers, RHVS performs surgical procedures directly at your primary care veterinary clinic. This model keeps pets in a familiar setting, eliminates unnecessary delays, and allows for closer collaboration between pet owners, primary vets, and the surgical team.

 

Our mobile surgery service is built on three guiding principles:

 

  • Continuity of care: You stay involved from diagnosis through recovery

  • Comfort and convenience: Pets avoid stressful transfers and long waits

  • Clinical excellence: All procedures are performed by a highly trained small animal surgeon

How It Works

We provide advanced surgical care in the comfort of your pet’s primary care clinic; eliminating unnecessary stress, travel, and delays. Getting the care your pet needs should be simple.
We make it seamless by partnering directly with your veterinarian every step of the way.
