VetRiviera, previously the Clinique Vétérinaire St Augustin, has been in Nice for more than forty years and carries a wide clinical range for a non-referral practice: internal medicine, oncology, orthopaedic and spinal surgery, and hydrotherapy on site. Its review record is the largest of any vet listed here, and the accounts that stand out are emergencies in visitors' animals, including a sixteen-year-old dog brought in from the UK with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis and kidney failure who was pulled through.

English is spoken and British owners use it as a matter of course, including for the tapeworm tablet and the European health certificate needed to take an animal home. One reviewer describes the team as very good with Brits specifically, which in practice means they know which box needs which stamp. The clinic is spacious and clean by repeated account. One owner records refusing a surgery they felt was unnecessary and going elsewhere, so if a major procedure is proposed and you are unsure, a second opinion is reasonable and the practice is large enough that asking will not offend anyone.
