Black River Veterinary Hospital

Deserve the best

For the pets who

You’ve searched for a place where your pet matters as much to them as they do to you, and now you’ve found it. Here at Black River Veterinary Hospital, we’ve built a world apart from corporate clinics—a family-focused practice driven by genuine relationships, remarkable skill, and unparalleled trust. Step through our doors, and let us show you what true, tailored veterinary care feels like.

We’re not your standard vet clinic. We’re a team of dedicated doctors and animal lovers brought together by a shared mission: to deliver the highest level of care without sacrificing warmth, integrity, or your pet’s comfort.

Who we’re for

If you’re the kind of person who would cross town, or the globe, to ensure your pet’s well-being—this is where you belong.

In a world where corporate mandates and protocols often overshadow personal connection, we do things differently.

Each of our veterinarians is empowered to make independent decisions, adapting treatments to every patient’s unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all rulebook.

it’s the only standard we accept.

Here, “the best” isn’t just a tagline...

We welcome everyone who believes their animals are true family, not just pets. Whether you’ve rescued a scrappy, beloved companion or painstakingly raised a Westminster champion from abroad, our approach remains the same: total respect, genuine empathy, and meticulous care.

Who we’re for

From timely vaccinations to thorough health checks, our team treats routine visits as an opportunity to build a stronger, healthier future for your pet.

Great care isn’t just about emergencies or advanced surgeries—it’s about doing the everyday things extraordinarily well.

We’re here to educate, guide, and elevate the common veterinary experience into a deeply reassuring and inspiring experience.

Not only are they the best veterinarians in the area. They are humane, understanding, and very caring. Dr. Tack is wonderful.

I am incredibly grateful for the care that both my cats received at Black River Vet. Dr. B was kind, called me after hours, and talked me through a difficult diagnosis. The hospital is collaborative with other vet hospitals to help provide the best pet care possible. All of the doctors helped me make best decisions I could for my pet. Black River Vet keeps organized and on time with an amazing support staff!

When our 12 year old dog was ill, the Dr and staff at Black River were so gentle with her. It took a lot of research and care to find out what the problem was. With some temporary meds, new dog food and their kindness (including calls checking on her), she is back to her perky active personality. Thank you Black River!

This is the best veterinary hospital in the country. I drive almost 2 hours to have my Bullmastiffs and foster dogs treated here. The staff is attentive and helpful; they go above and beyond your pet’s needs. Dr Doug Tack is an expert veterinary doctor with compassion, kindness and gentleness I appreciate and respect. Thank you Black River Veterinary Hospital.

The best just got better
