A staff member called our dog's name, told us to weigh him, then walked away without assistance. My husband and I are allergic to cats and were already having reactions--we had been sitting outside because of this--but no one gave us guidance or told us to step back out once she returned and took our dog without explaining anything. Overall, the experience was confusing, stressful, and lacked basic customer service. We will not be returning. If I could give zero stars I would.

Highly recommend this place to take care of your dogs. They took great care of ours.

About six months ago my wife and I adopted a beautiful Labradoodle. His name is Teddy and at the…read moretime we picked him up he was 4.5 years old. He came with some bad habits especially while on the leash. Our Veterinarian recommended Bill Mattis at River Ridge Kennels. After we talked to Bill on the phone we enrolled Teddy in the six week obedience training course. And what a blessing! We found their prices very reasonable and the training was excellent. There were six dogs in our class and each dog had their own set of issues and personalities. The love, respect and compassion Bill showed our pets was nothing short of amazing. Well, Teddy passed with flying colors and my wife and I did as well. Bill and staff come with many years of experience and I can't give enough praise to Bill as he is the consummate professional when it comes to training dogs AND their owners. We highly recommend River Ridge Kennels and Bill Mattis.

I run a registered nonprofit animal rescue in South Carolina. We recently took in a golden retrieve…read morewho spent most of his young life in a crate. His owners were putting him to sleep because they didnt want a dog (was originally belonged to their daughter) and they wanted to go on vacation. He's since been placed with a foster family who decided almost immediately that Lucky belonged with them permanently. I started working on getting this poor dog in for vaccines and a skin scrape as he has massive hotspots. He needed his vaccines so he could go to the groomers as he really needed the matting taken care of. I called SCAH last week and explained Luckys situation ensuring it wouldn't be a issue. They had no problem providing me a quote and immediately booking his appointment. I was told "we work with a lot of rescues and adopted dogs" His foster mom arrived early with Lucky and sat in the waiting room. Lucky was great in the waiting room...barked at a cat but never growled or aggressively tried to get to the feline. He was being sweet with tail wags to everyone who came up to him. He was doing so much better than he was when they took him home a few weeks ago. They called Luck to the back at 9:53 and they were dismissed at 10:03. Why? Because Lucky being nervous dropped to the floor and let out a low growl, not a snarl, he didn't fly off the handle. His foster immediately reassured him and offered to muzzle him for his exam. The vet told her no that wouldnt work the exact quote "Oh no! He can chew right through that!". Which lets be honest is impossible if the muzzle is fitted correctly.  The foster asked about sedation. She was told "I cant do that this morning. I'm not putting myself and staff at risk". He acted like Lucky was a vicious sog snarling and chomping at everyone over a simple low growl at the beginning. Then they asked her to leave as he was "too dangerous" but not before the doctor pulled her to the side to urge her to not adopt him. His reason? Luckys obvious aggressiveness and the fact that she has children. *eye roll*  His foster informed the vet that Lucky is not aggressive, that he is simply scared. Assured him that the children are always monitored with Lucky and he has never so much as growled at the kids. She explained how nobody has ever given him a chance or the opportunity to acclimate to new things. This vet ought to be ashamed that his FEAR was allowed to take precedence and to combat that he chose to lable the dog as aggressive. I really hope nobody has taken their dogs into him for a behavior evaluation as he will let his nervousness take the front seat on that one. Absolutely unbelievable.

For the past 21 years I have only allowed Northside Animal Hospital to take care of and treat my…read morepets. The veterinarian there is most compassionate towards my pets, has the animals' best Interest and welfare at heart, and is the same towards the other pets in his office from what I have observed during my visits. I find it extremely difficult to believe anything which was previously written in the terrible review of this animal hospital. This person stated the veterinarian hurt his/her animal "on purpose" while out of the presence of the owner. The owner does not know what occurred because he/she did not see first-hand what happened and is only assuming something. If lab work was drawn on the pet that day, then yes, the animal would be tender for a couple of days afterwards, just as people are after receiving injections. If this animal became "so weak and almost died," I do not understand why the owner neglected their pet and did not attempt to seek prompt medical treatment for the animal. Also, to my knowledge an animal's records are not required when taking a pet to an emergency clinic or any other animal hospital, unless that animal is being boarded, in which case if an animal were to be boarded emergently any veterinarian's office can call to confirm shot record histories. The veterinarian at Northside Animal Hospital is the only veterinarian I wish to have treat my precious pets. He is extremely intelligent and is an excellent diagnostician. Obviously the person who wrote the previous review of this animal hospital is apparently confused as to which animal hospital he/she visited.

The staff was very friendly, they instruct you on how to get on, ride, guide and get off the horse. The trainer took my husband and I on a 1-hour ride around their property, which was part in the open sun on grass between different fenced off horse areas, and in the "woods" where there were tons of trees, plants and vines to walk through. The tour guide wasn't very talkative, but my husband and I liked that. She answered our questions and led us on a peaceful, relaxing journey with our horses. We both loved it and would definitely come back. In addition to horseback riding and horse boarding, they have pony rides for kids, riding lessons, cabin rentals in the woods and a mini general store, which has your basic drinks, snacks and cowboy merchandise.
