Dr. Justin Sewell was born in Fort St. John and spent his childhood days attending Charlie Lake, Bert Bowes and North Peace schools. He grew up on a farm in the Peace valley where he spent his summers working. After graduation he obtained a biology degree from Trinity Western University in Langley.
We take pride in providing the best care we can. Not only do we engage in ongoing education for our staff, we also invest regularly in upgrades to our equipment and technology. We have recently purchased advanced ultrasound equipment and the latest in digital X-ray. Our orthopedic surgical equipment, anesthetic monitoring abilities, and in-house laboratory technology are regularly reviewed and upgraded.
At Rivers Animal Hospital, you can expect state of the art medical care for your four-legged companions. We believe in nurturing the human-animal bond and creating a harmonious relationship between people and animals. You can expect to be greeted by a courteous receptionist, clean exam rooms, friendly doctors, and caring technicians.
Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pet's health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.
We know that caring for horses and livestock requires a special understanding of their biology and behavior. We provide a variety of services for large animal needs and concerns, ranging from routine care to more advanced procedures. We also offer advice regarding herd management. Please contact us today if you have any questions or comments about your horse's or large companion animal's care.

The helped my old boy for years taking care of his needs right to the very end. Thanks for coming to my house, and letting me and my family say good bye. He appreciated being surrounded by family and friends in his last moments. I would highly recommend Rivers, and Dr Justin Sewell(sorry if I spelled the name wrong!). Thanks for everything and understanding that our pets are our family, and treating them with the respect they deserve.

I love rivers, both vets there always take the time to explain everything very thoroughly and answer all your questions. I've never felt judged or criticized by either of them and the admin staff are all very friendly as well!

Rivers is awesome. We've used them for all our pets and they've always been amazing.
Today I took my kitty in for a bigger procedure and they were incredibly kind. I called first thing thismorning and they fit me in immediately, while I was there the vet came to speak to me about the procedure and what to expect, and explaining chances of success and failure. He was extremely nice and made sure to keep things very factual and walked me through the details very carefully.
Every staff member was so kind and compassionate even when I was full on ugly crying toddler style right in the office. They
