Our Story

Rooted in care,
growing with you

What began in 2001 as Shaughnessy Veterinary Hospital under Dr. Leah Montgomery grew, in 2016, into the Tri-Cities’ first cat-only clinic. By 2020, both joined forces as Riverwood — a purpose-built space with thoughtfully designed separate areas for cats, dogs, and exotics.

We’re privately owned, deeply local, and built on the belief that your pet’s care should feel as personal as family.

★★★★★
I can’t say enough good things about Riverwood and their amazing staff. A special thank-you to RVT Natalie, who made us feel truly heard and supported throughout our dog Henry’s visit.
Her compassion meant so much — Henry is a very nervous dog and doesn’t love the vet. The team treated him with such respect while he was sedated, and Dr. Jacelyn did a phenomenal job. We’re so grateful.

Dr. Chantal showed professionalism, empathy, and was great with my dog Duke. Duke is extremely anxious around new people, and the team knew exactly how to deal with him.
They’ve treated my senior dog with the best possible care and quality of life. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff.

We recently transferred to Riverwood with our two dogs after our longtime vet retired — we weren’t sure what to expect. How lucky we are to have found them.
On a recent emergency visit during the holidays, I arrived disheveled with my dog who’d gotten into Christmas chocolate, plus my two toddlers still in pyjamas. They saw us immediately and treated us with such kindness. Their pricing is fair and transparent — I truly cannot recommend this clinic enough.

Dr. Amanda is EPIC handling our current anxious foster kitty. These people are cheerful, quick, helpful, and lovely!

My cat passed away suddenly — when I found her I rushed over to Riverwood. They were closing in an hour but didn’t hesitate to take her in and examine her quickly. They were communicative and sensitive throughout. Thank you, Riverwood team.

★★★★★
We recently switched to Riverwood and couldn’t be happier. After a clinic that seemed dismissive of my concerns, a friend recommended a second opinion here.
Dr. Leah identified my poor fluff’s dental disease within 30 seconds of seeing her and had her in for surgery the next day. Since then she’s been thriving. Dr. Leah is amazing — the rest of the team is so kind and supportive.
