Chautauqua Veterinary Services

Friendly staff and they were very sweet to Miss Hemi. She's home and back to good as new!

Wish there were more stars to give…Dr. Rice is no nonsense, compassionate, and an excellent vet. I would not think of using another vet since meeting him. Simply the BEST!

Dr Rice and his staff have always been amazing. They definitely go the extra little bit to help both humans and animals get through the various trials of life. I've had to take the final step with 2 of my pets and it has been a peaceful and comforting experience.

Received amazing service for my havachon who is going on 14 and has a grade 6 heart murmur. Other vets in WNY would not assist and/or insisted we should see a dog cardiac doctor which is basically eventually spending thousands for a dog nearing the end of her life. She was coughing and was put on simple water pills that have done wonders.

Absolutely awesome! Got me in next day with a very sick kitty and got her in even tho they were obviously super busy! I called several places and Dr. Rice made time and got us in our uphill swing to getting better! Excellent bed side manner and hassle free and VERY reasonable on costs!!:) THANK YOU!!

Dr. Rice is to the point. There is no nonsense and he does what he is able to do. Walk-in times are super helpful and it is good to get there early because you will be waiting! Good with all pets and is quick. Doesn't overcharge!

Dr. Rice and his staff are a Chautauqua County treasure! His care is always efficient, compassionate, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend him for all your veterinary care needs.

The staff were very compassionate and caring .Very helpful with the emergency situation my friend experienced while in the area from her home in Massachusetts

The veterinary services here are perfect for the community and our furry friends. The veterinarian is always willing to tell it straight and get the results to help your pet in need. Tim answers his own phone after hours and is always quick and honest. Prices are beyond fair. When I was young he was a large vet technician and always fixed our animals on the farm. Thanks for the many years of hard work.

Dr. Rice treated our old cat for what may have been a urinary problem. Unfortunately it did not resolve and we opted to have her put down in lieu of further tests or treatments. Dr. Rice was totally non judgemental re the decision and did so with care and comfort for our beloved kitty and for us. He could not have been kinder or more realistic at this sad time. He is the best!

Drove and hour and a half to get here for a simple rabies shot. Fantastic service, got us in at a decent time. In and out in 5 mins

DR. TIM RICE IS THE BEST VETERNARIAN IN OUR AREA

If I could give Dr. Tim Rice, 10 stars, I would.
Ease of scheduling, evening & weekend office access, level of care, proficiency as a vet and attentiveness to his patients sets him above other practices. He went above & beyond for my pets.

Last night, my 7 month old kittens were walk-ins for routine shots. I chose Dr. Rice based on referrals from friends. I witnessed Dr. Rice's timely handling of pet needs & emergencies for multiple breeds, while his wife Kathy managed the front desk with finesse and a friendly demeanor. It's clear that they have a loyal client base.

Two hours after I got my cats home, my male kitten Brian began showing abnormal symptoms. I Googled it. His adverse reactions to the distemper shot were linked to cases of fatality. I called Dr. Rice's office, got their after hours emergency line and left a voicemail message. I then began calling 24 Hour Emergency Vet Services (the closest 1 - 1 1/2 hours away). Dr. Rice called me back as I was preparing for a late trip and long drive. He listened to my cat's symptoms and offered to meet us at his office - at 10:40 PM - and spared us a trip out of town!

When we arrived, Dr. Rice was prepared to treat my cat in the event that he was going into anaphylaxis. He checked over Brian, gave a diagnosis and altered his course of treatment. He helped us, and for that, we are very grateful.

Dr. Tim Rice was willing to meet a brand new client late at night, after hours, in order to save the cat's life. How's that for peace of mind? He is knowledgeable and showed compassion and genuine concern. You can tell he takes pride in doing his job well. He also refused to accept any payment. With that, I told him I'd be writing a rave review. He more than earned it. We will be lifelong patients.

If you're in need of a great vet in our area or ready to switch to better services, this is the one.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. RICE WITHOUT A DOUBT :)

Dr Rice is an awesome vet.
All 5 of my dog goes to him.Will be 6 here shortly.
He take extra care of our Maggie wolf. She loves him.
Highly recommend

Brought a female semi feral cat in for a spray. Dr Rice and staff did a great job. I've brought my dog here also. And when I had to say goodbye to my senior cat, Dr Rice took care of him, giving him dignity and respect. He also gave me time to grieve. Later I recieved a card from them on the loss of my cat Bob. Would definitely recommend coming here with your fur babies.

Very very nice! Dr. Rice is the best!

I had a sick dog over the past weekend, and my regular vet was unavailable. I frantically searched for a vet in Chautauqua County who would take her, as I dreaded having to drive to the emergency vet in Erie, PA due to torrential storms, as well as a potentially unaffordable bill (which I gladly would have done for my little girl). I left a message for Dr. Rice on his emergency number, and he returned my call within 20 minutes. It was Saturday morning, and he advised that his office would be open for walk-ins at 10:00 AM. He also warned me that there might be a wait, as it's first come, first serve. We waited for about one hour, which was totally fine with me. Dr. Rice was very pleasant and professional, even joking with me to calm me down! It turned out that my dog may have injured herself while running around the house. He gave her some meds, and she was back to herself within hours. I also appreciated that he listened to my concerns about giving her a cortisone injection, and provided other options. It was very affordable, and I will be using Dr. Rice as my regular vet. He was highly recommended by friends, and I am happy to do the same for anyone who reads this review. Thanks, Dr. Rice!!

Very happy with Dr. Tim and our visit today. It was my first time there and he made me feel comfortable while he checked out my puppy who was limping. Definitely going to change over to Dr. Tim as my vet

Awesome ppl!! They Even have walk in hrs and weekend hrs. Busy but not to busy that they gave me suggestions on how to address my fur baby for the 24 hrs until I could bring her to the walk in hrs because he had no apts thay day. Made me feel like they cared about me and my pet. (Shitzu mix vomiting all night white foam )
Thank u 💗

I just love the care we get for all of our furry family from Dr. Rice...they always try to get appointments as soon as they can and always gives the best pet advice.

The main things I appreciate about Dr Rice are his experience and his practicality. He provides the meds and the equipment I need, right from his office, to treat the animal. He has treated both my dogs and my cats.
