Rialto Animal Hospital: Juarez Shannon DVM

Rialto Animal Hospital: Juarez Shannon DVM is a veterinarian in Rialto, CA, located at 1460 N Ayala Dr. The hospital provides complete medical, surgical, and dental care for dogs and cats, from routine wellness visits to same-day urgent care and advanced procedures. It holds a rating of 4.90 based on 1,460 reviews. The practice opened in May 1959 at 416 West Foothill Boulevard, when Dr. Charles Childs and Mrs. Carol Childs began seeing patients in a Rialto that was still a landscape of pig farms and horse properties. It has since grown from a small mixed-animal practice into a modern hospital with nine veterinarians and a team of around 60 caregivers, and it remains independently owned and family-owned rather than part of a corporate chain. Rialto Cat Hospital, a feline-exclusive sister practice, sits next door. The hospital has held AAHA accreditation since 2014 and is certified as a Cat Friendly Practice, with a hospital that includes separate dog and cat lobbies, an outdoor patio, ten exam rooms, an in-house pharmacy and diagnostic lab, and surgical and dental suites. The team serves as the preferred veterinarian for the working K-9 police dogs of the Rialto Police Department and the Fontana Police Department. The hospital sits on North Ayala Drive, about 0.2 miles from Jerry Eaves Park and 0.3 miles from West Baseline Road and Rialto Fire Station 203. West Valley Water District is about 0.6 miles away. Families across Rialto and the Inland Empire have trusted the hospital with their pets for more than 65 years, and its 4.90 rating reflects that long record. Some clients have brought in the great-grandpuppies and grandkitties of pets cared for decades ago, and one reviewer has relied on the practice for 33 years.
