We will do our best to make sure you are brought into an examination room as soon as we have one available. Our goal is to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, but there will be times the occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time.
We monitor our patients closely to keep them as safe as possible during procedures that require general anesthesia. A veterinary technician will continually assess your pet's heart and respiratory rate, . For some procedures, your pet will need to be administered general anesthesia so that he or she will be unconscious and not feel pain.
Knowing if your dog has this condition before an emergency situation arises can mean the difference between life and death. Similar to hemophilia in humans, von Willebrand's disease can result. Canine hip dysplasia (abnormal development of the hip joint) begins when the hip joint in a young dog becomes loose or unstable.
Imagine what your mouth would feel like if you never brushed your teeth or went to the dentist. For many dogs and cats, this is a painful reality.

Dr. Michelle Toms-Greene is hands down, the best veterinarian I've ever dealt with. She has compassion, is empathetic, sympathetic, understanding, kind and pleasant to talk with. The staff are all amazing! Lauren is great with answering my emails about Hope in a timely manner. I can't say enough about her. I could go on and on about the practice. It's wonderful!🐩

Dr. Michelle and the staff at Rutherford Veterinary Hospital have been taking care of my babies for years. From the front desk staff, to the kennel staff to the doctors and techs, they are the most caring, professional, and dedicated group of people you can imagine. They have laughed with me at the antics of my pets, and cried with me when one is crossing the rainbow bridge. They are the best!

I have brought my two labs here since they were pups and also my 12 year or husky before she passed. Dr. Walker has been so caring and thorough in all my experiences here. I have a busy schedule and many times they have watched my pups for hours while I was at work and they needed to be seen and even when we were closing on our house and our lab had an allergic reaction the same morning! When my husky was declining, Dr. Walker and Lauren coordinated with local and emergency vets to make sure she was always in the best care possible. On numerous occasions for all of my pups, Dr. Walker has gone

Dr. Alisha & Dr. Shauna were awesome in helping us deal with our Diesel. We weren’t sure what was going on with him but they jumped right on the situation. Made him feel at ease. Unfortunately, Diesel continued to decline. We had to to the best thing for him & have him put down. It was the hardest decision of my life. They told me they would work with our schedule so our family that wanted to be with Diesel could. They were very kind & understanding. Let us have our own room & allowed us to stay as long as we wanted. When/if we get another pet, I will bring them to Rutherford Veterinary Hospital

I just took our new fur baby, Hershey, for his first vet visit since we got him & of course, the staff fell in love. I was checked in very quick & called back within a few minutes. Dr. Walker and Vet Tech Melissa plus all the other nurses are AMAZING!!! Dr Walker is very thorough with exam & talking & explaining as she goes. Their love and compassion for animals is what makes them the BEST at what they do. They have been caring for all my babies for a few years now. My guardian angel, Boomer, our Dane, Henry & now our lil Hershey (pics below).
I Won't go anywhere else or call anyone else for advise

I went to board our dog here. If everything went well we would also utilize their vet services. We went 2 weeks before schedule to take a tour of facility. Guy named Will showed us around. He yelled at dogs to shut up and asked if our dog jumps fences. He then said owners do not keep up the place and the fences have holes in them but if one got loose He lived next door and could come to catch it. He then proceeded to tell us he has one that likes to jump on him but he just hits it on the nose. The kennels were cold and damp and cobwebs that looked like they came out of a haunted house. We asked
