Preventive care

I can’t express enough gratitude for this incredible place, their Vet’s and Staff. I will always take my sweet fur babies here. I met Dr. Rushing bringing my German Shepherd in for breathing issues. Dr. Rushing called me each morning with updated news on blood work and results. She was so professional, kind and I can thank her enough with how she handled everything . The sad news turned out that it was cancer and I had to make the unfortunate decision to put my sweet baby down. Dr. Rushing and their staff were so kind, supportive and loved my sweet fur baby just as much as I do. Cavo stole everyone’s heart and he left this earth surrounded by family and the incredible staff at Coal Ridge. Thank you for making this painful transition peaceful, kind and so loving. There are not enough words with how grateful I am and we’ve found our forever vet.

I have 2 dogs that have recently visited Coal Ridge Animal Hospital. My 8 year old Frenchie and 10 year old English Bulldog. Both have received life saving operations. My Frenchie was so sick, she couldn’t even walk in, but she trotted/pranced out after surgery and has been amazing since! My 10 year old English Bulldog had a huge tumor removed from his head and I thought he would certainly die… however Dr. Prochnow teamed up with the amazing surgeon Dr. Maddock and the amazing Vet Technicians and they did not bat an eye at devising a surgical plan to save my old man! The knowledge and care that everyone has exhibited durning our visits is elite and unmatched. These people are simply the best! I’ve included photos of the English Bulldog- because it was such an incredible job! Pre-op, post-op and just today when his stitches were removed!

I have only been here once, but the care seemed good and the prices seem good. It is a bit out of the way and hard to find, but the vets are good listeners and knowledgeable. I took my puppy in for his 12 week checkup. Even though it's far from my house, I will go again and update this if necessary.

This is in my opinion, a wonderful practice filled with loving, kind, animal-loving people. I've never had anything but a wonderful experience, from doctor's to staff. We've had half a dozen pets through, and several deaths, and I find they are consistently sweet through all. Even when I've not been into doing something they never pressure or goad, they just inform and await my needs and decisions, even if they may not agree. They are especially compassionate when a pet passes or needs to be helped to pass. They offer extra little thoughtful things like the doc recently offered to clip the matts in our Border collie's neck fur, without being asked or paid for. They give great advice, too, with care and concern without trying to gouge us for money. I really highly recommend this business, and I think we'll be there for life.

I wish I could say that we had a good experience, but after going here for several years with a dog that got extremely ill, I have mixed feelings about this place. They were certainly happy to take our money, but none of it helped. I think it compounded the issues if nothing else, and after a lot of work and heartache, we decided to pull our dog down for his final rest. Not even so much as a call or card check up on us. I'm considering finding another vet and getting a second opinion on our cat's issues with that being said. Not sure yet where to try.
