Big River Veterinary Service

My boxer/ pit bull mix recently had his ACL done with a TPLO surgery with Dr Cardosa and we are so happy we went to Big River Vet. The vet techs were amazing and made us feel at ease. I would 100% recommend them to anyone needing this surgery.

Our experience with Dr. Dan and staff has been nothing but excellent. We have been there for 22yrs with our furry babies. Any questions you may have they answer and make sure you have what you need to take care of your pets.

Dr. Cardozo and his team are the best. My dog went through TPLO surgery and I couldn't recommend them enough. Affordable compared to other vets for this particular surgery. My dog is back to her self and happy. Lola and I thank you!! Update. One year later and we had to get Lola's other leg done. The surgery and recovery were a success, and Lola has never been happier. The doctor is the best and seems to really care.

Wow! Dr. Cardosa and his staff are truly wonderful. They really love your pets as if they were their own. My boy Killer had a great experience having his knee surgery done at this hospital, and I look forward to using them for all of my pets future ortho needs (including Killer’s other knee!). They’re compassionate, affordable and can definitely be trusted with your furry friends

I could not have better things to say about Big River Veterinarian. Dr. Dan and his staff are welcoming, compassionate and caring. Our Rosie girl was born with elbow dysplasia and they did a successful surgery to help her lead a normal life. Every visit, we knew our girl was in the best hands possible. We would rate Dr.Dan and his staff 10 stars if possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Very nice staff. Dr. Took the time to explain everything regarding a future surgery we will need for our pup.

Our pup Mr. Bingley got both of his CCL's repaired here. Dr. Dan and his staff were AMAZING. When going over our options they never pushed the more expensive one--which is generally recommended for dogs Bingley's size and were understanding that even the cheapest option was tough for us to pay for. When we ended up choosing that cheaper option they asked many questions to ensure that it would work for our guy (luckily he's a couch potato) and supported us in that decision. Their prices are the best in the area and I found so much solace in the fact that I got to know the surgeon who would be operating on our boy. I trusted them all with Bingley's life and even though it was scary leaving him there, I knew he was in the best hands. Bingley does not do well waking up from anesthesia so each time we had to pick up him up soon after he woke up. Before we got there they loved on him and tried to comfort him as best they could. Bingley struggled a bit (I did to) for the first few days after his surgery and they always answered my multiple phone calls a day with kindness, calm voices and a wealth of information and comforting advice. When Bingley needed his other knee done we called them to set it up without hesitation. Big River Vet will always be my first phone call if any of my dogs need surgery in the future and I cannot say enough good things about them.
