Excellent care!!! We have been taking our dog here for almost 10 years and have ALWAYS been happy. All staff and veterinarians treat our pet like their own. I’ll admit we have tried other vets a few times but were NOT pleased with the level of care elsewhere. Lesson learned. Will always return. Thank you, River Ridge Animal Hospital!!!

River Ridge Animal Hospital has been our veterinary care facility ever since we had our first dog, Sydney. The doctors and staff are very caring and provide excellent service. Their pet boarding services and doggy daycare are top-notch. The staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend River Ridge to anyone looking for veterinary or dog care services—they are excellent!!

All of our experiences with River Ridge have been professional, and they take the time and effort to explain everything in whatever detail is necessary. We travel to three different states during the year and, therefore, have gone to different vets. If there is an issue with our dogs that can be “saved” until we get here, we do that. I would recommend River Ridge to anyone with no reservations.
