Richboro Veterinary Hospital

Each week, we share stories from across our district of neighbors whose character and acts of service remind us what makes Bucks County such a special place to call home. Today, we honor a man whose courage and quick action saved a life. Meet this week’s Hometown Hero—Dr. John Sampson of Warwick Township.

Dr. Sampson is well known here at home as the owner of the Richboro Veterinary Hospital, where he’s saved countless pets and provided care and comfort to families throughout our community. But over Labor Day Weekend, he became a hero of a different kind.

When a child made his way onto a sky-high monorail track, shocked visitors looked on from below as his frantic parents searched the crowd. Dr. Sampson, a father of three, jumped into action—climbing a fence to reach the roof of a nearby building, stepping onto the track himself, and carrying the frightened boy to safety.

He may have described himself as just a guy in the right place at the right time, but to the boy he saved, his family, and all of us here in Bucks County, he is much more. His actions weren’t an accident of circumstance—they were the instinct of a man who has built his life around care and service. As a veterinarian, business owner, and community member, he has devoted himself to healing and strengthening the bonds between families and their beloved pets. That same compassion is exactly what he brought to that moment on the monorail track.

Heroism isn’t reserved for a few—it’s found in the everyday decisions we make to protect and care for one another. Dr. Sampson’s example calls on each of us to act when someone is in need and reminds us we are at our best when we show up for one another.

Please join me in honoring Dr. Sampson for this extraordinary act of selfless bravery!

Dr. Sampson has always been a hero to us, his clients and his patients; but now the whole world knows that his compassion and selflessness extends far beyond the doors of RVH.

A huge shout-out to Dr. Sampson, for being the all around wonderful person that he is, and for being that little boys guardian angel in his time of need! 🎉👏

Our phone system is having a nationwide outage at the moment. They are working hard to fix the issue, but as of right now we can't receive or make phone calls.

We appreciate your patience with this, and if you need anything immediately, you will have to stop by the office.

I will update this as soon as the phones are working.

Big boy Finn came in for an annual exam, and can be a bit of a nervous nelly. After some treats and sweet talking, he was Dr. Sampson's best friend! He had a great visit and that will help him be less stressed when he comes back in the future!

To All Of Our Valued Clients:

We strive to keep fees affordable while sourcing the best products and supplies to ensure we deliver the high-quality veterinary care you are accustomed to and deserve. However as of January 9th, 2023 we will be increasing our prices. This is in response to inflation, and the increased prices from the vendors we purchase from. I understand this may be frustrating, but we promise that we will continue to provide the highest quality medicine and services to your loved ones.

Sincerely,

Dr. John Sampson
Owner/Veterinarian

Early Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!!

We will be closed on Monday, December 26th, but will otherwise be open normal hours throughout the holidays.

With the holidays comes all the rich foods/presents/decorations. All of these things can pose different issues with your loved ones. Please take care and be safe!

If your pet has an emergency, please call the ER ahead of time to see if they are open/what are the wait times. BluePearl Levittown (old VSEC) is the only BluePearl hospital open 24/7 throughout the holidays and will likely have long wait times. Driving to NorthStar or Metropolitan could possibly save you a lot of time, if not a true emergency. Please refer to our website for different emergency hospital options.

Thank you to everyone that came out to see Santa! Here are some of the pictures we took during the event. We really enjoyed this, and plan on doing it again next year!

The day is almost upon us for Santa Paws! Saturday at 12pm we will be starting, and there is a tent set up that you will see when you drive up. We will be collecting donations for different rescue groups during this time, so please bring anything you can!

Guidelines for Saturday:
1) Please park near the entrance for RVH or towards 2nd Street Pike, not down by the tent.
2) First Come First Serve and remember to bring your own camera or just use your cell phone.
3) When you arrive, please leave your pets in the car to come sign up to let us know you are here. Then you can sit in your car until we call you.
4) Once you get your call, you can bring the family up to the tent and wait in line there for your turn.
5) Once you take your pictures, we will have you exit out a different side.

We are only going to have a few families in line at a time to keep animal interactions to a minimum. This will help with having less distractions for the animals to hopefully get that great picture with Santa!

We are very excited to offer this, and we will try to give you ideas of potential wait times when you arrive.

See you Saturday!!!

An early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, however we will be holding normal hours Wednesday and Friday.

With all of the extra company and savory foods around during this holiday, please keep your pets safety in mind as well. We don't want to be making an impromptu visit to us or the ER because they got into the trash or leftovers.

Have an amazing and safe Thanksgiving!

Even though it is "winter", our climate here doesn't allow fleas/ticks to go into hibernation. They are out year round here, and only need 40 degrees to make appearances.

We have seen multiple flea and tick infestations recently, and we want to make sure you don't have to deal with that issue either.

Please stay on your heartworm/flea/tick preventatives year round to keep all the little parasites away for good!
