Job description

Riverlands Animal Hospital started out as a brother-sister team of veterinarians providing comprehensive animal care to pet owners in LaPlace and the surrounding river parishes of southeast Louisiana. Our business has grown to incorporate more than ten doctors, including emergency and relief veterinarians, and a staff of more than twenty friendly faces. Riverlands Animal Hospital continues to serve the community as one of the largest veterinary hospitals in the area.

For the more in depth diagnostics and procedures, we turn to Dr. Catherine Garon, Diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. With more than 10 years experience in the field of internal medicine, Dr. Catherine uses more advanced procedures to diagnose and treat diseases, such as performing scopes and ultrasounds. Due to her high demand, Dr. Catherine sees patients by appointment only, though she is happy to consult with any of the more than seventy-five doctors that refer to her.

Our kennels can provide a wonderful home for your pet while you are away, and we take great pride in the level of care and attention our kennel technicians give our four-legged guests. For the pampered pooch, we also provide a bathing service by appointment to leave your pet looking and smelling its very best.

Riverlands Animal Hospital is open six days a week, and is equipped with an in-house emergency clinic and internal medicine specialist. Our emergency clinic is available during office hours. We have the ability to treat and medicate patients walking in the door and can provide intensive care during our hours of operation. Our emergency veterinarians are able to perform certain surgeries, such as foreign body removals and laceration repairs that can save your pet’s life.
