How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ridge Animal Clinic
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.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Sadly I must leave a bad review on my experience today. I have been coming to the clinic for 5 year with my 100lb black lab and today had an appointment for just a nail trim... He gets very anxious just driving in vehicles and it is quite a chore for me to bring him in but twice a year we make the trip... I always ask that they don't call me in just to wait in an exam room, I would rather walk around outside until they are ready to see him because it just stresses him out sitting in those small rooms... Today I called when I got there and they called me in just to shut us in the room again (after explaining that he stresses when I made the appointment yesterday).... Then a girl came in with a muzzle!!! For some reason there was an ALERT placed in the computer several visits ago, we have never muzzled my dog in all the years I have been going there... I always lifted him onto the exam table so that the girls were at a comfortable height to do their work and I even help by holding him around the neck. The worst he does is pull his feet away sometimes. He has never shown any signs of aggression. Dr. K herself had told me the Alert was unnecessary at a prior visit just this past spring and it would be corrected... I will not muzzle my dog, ever.... I understand it may be a safety procedure, but you would think after this long of a relationship I would not have this problem there... Looks like I'm going to have to look elsewhere for our pet-care needs...

When my pet was still alive, they took very great care of him, & once he passed, all staff members were very considerate & compassionate with their services towards me, so I definitely appreciate this animal clinic, times can be lengthy at times, but overall, awesome care!
