How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ridgeview Veterinary 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.
Consider pet insurance

We have been using Ridgeview for years and they have been there for us in good times and bad. They have saved our pets lives on more than one occasion over many years and helped us say a peaceful goodbye other times. The staff is caring and thorough. It can take a while to get an appointment but they have made special arrangements in an emergency too.

Update 11/22: I've been taking my dog here for almost 3 years now, and they're still great! from Jan 2020: Great care and very friendly! I had been in town about 2 weeks when my dog got sick and didn't have a vet in the area. They got us in same day despite being a new patient and staff was very thorough and knowledgeable :)

Love this place! They take excellent care of my two dogs. The ladies at the front desk are always so warm and courteous and they really do everything they can to help you. The vets and the techs are always so sweet with my dogs and really go the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable.

Very understanding and responsive when my dog developed a persistent cough, with all ending well due to this great vet.

Despite covid 19, I was able to get an appointment for my new puppy's first round of vaccinations/shots. When you park outside in the parking lot, there are space number signs for your vehicles and you call their phone number to let them know you've arrived. Shortly thereafter, the vet nurse (I'm sure there's a more accurate and technical name than "vet nurse", but I'm not sure what it is) calls you on the phone to gather initial information, such as; checking in on any previous visit concerns to ensure they are resolved, recent eating/drinking/bowel habits of the pet, and letting you bring up any concerns you might have. My pup had a cut next to and slightly on her eye when we got her so the nurse checked to ask how that had healed up from the previous appointment first thing. I am very appreciative of this. The nurse came out to get my pup and she walked her in. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes thereafter, i got a phone call from the vet doctor herself, who reported her findings with the concerns i had mentioned and also her general health status. She had asked if i wanted to get heart worm medication. I didn't know much about it, or how a dog even contacts heartworms in the first place so i asked her to tell me a little more. I was thoroughly impressed in the education i received. It was not 'cut short' like doctors visits often can be. It was a full, informational explanation and from this i was able to determine -yes- it was a good idea. Also the doctor asked about spaying my girl, and gave me an equally thorough introduction to the topic as this is my first dog that I've had to make decisions for. My knowledge was lacking. Between both the sweet nurse and the really exceptional knowledge and patience with my questions directed to the vet doctor, I highly recommend Ridgeview Veterinary Hospital. Despite covid circumstances, many precautions were taken and there is a system in place that still allows functionality of the business. Thank you Ridgeview Vet! We will be back for spaying and chipping soon :)
