How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ridgewood Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

They were able to get my puppies in for there first wellness checkup and shots, in a timely matter. Even offering dewormer, like no other place did. The day of the appointment we were seen ontime and they took there time checking all 6. Friendly staff, clean facility, as well as reasonably priced.

The entire staff was beyond wonderful on what turned out to be a very sad day. Tabitha was very patient with me and was able to get my kitty, Picasso in today. We were not existing clients/patients but we needed to be seen ASAP. Hannah was very loving and kind getting us checked in and taking detailed notes regarding Picasso's history. Dr. Monica was gentle with us both and explained what her findings were. She explained my options thoroughly and expedited the final treatment plan. We were given ample time to say 'Goodbye' and the end was painless. Options for cremation, ashes, and paw prints were explained and they took care of everything. I felt like I was with family. I will now be bringing my other kitties to Ridgewood Animal Hospital, and I highly recommend anyone bring their fur-babies to experience top-notch treatment for themselves. Thank you all for helping to make today so much easier.

I cannot sing high enough praises about Dr. Monica and her staff to include Tabitha and Mr. E. I took my son's 4-year-old cat in for an emergency visit. We were treated with kindness and respect. I love that Winter was their first priority, the staff was very easy to talk to/down to earth. Dr. Monica was very straightforward and didn't try to push any unnecessary testing or medication. Ridgewood animal hospital will be all I use in the future.

The veterinarians and staff have always gone above and beyond for our dogs. Beyond being incredibly skilled at animal health, I also trust them and their honesty. They outline all of the options, explain the pros and cons of each option, will answer all of the questions we have for them and provide guidance when we ask for help in deciding between the options (i.e., what would you do if this was your dog). After our last veterinarian retired, we had a hard time finding one that we were comfortable with again, and we found it again at Ridgewood.
