How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ridgeway 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.
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.

We trust taking our dogs here! They took great care of Henry over the years with his itching and skin issues.

Please do NOT go to this vet if you care about your animals. I brought my two cats here to get treated for fleas, the doctor we had was extremely careless and rough with my cats, I do not remember his name but he was male and of the indian race. For starters, he took my kittens temperature with an anal thermometer but did not bother fixing it even though it was in crooked, my kitten was crying in pain, and this happened both times we had come here. He also grabbed my bigger cat's ear very roughly, again, this also happened with my smaller cat the last time we came here, he twisted his ear inside out for God's sake and didn't even bother fixing it! And that is not even the worst part, once this horrible scene was over the staff accidentally switched the medicine for my huge tomcat to go to my tiny 4 month old kitten. If my mom hadn't caught on to that when she did my kitten might not even be here. Please use caution and find a different vet.

I’m extremely disappointed. I called last week to double-check that my cat’s medication and prescription food were ordered. I never received a call back. I called again today, only to be told it wasn’t ordered and that it was my fault. My cat has advanced kidney disease and getting her medications, fluids, and prescription food on time is critical. This isn’t the first time they’ve failed to have her things ready and my cat has had to go without her medication because of it. During a checkup I spoke with the vet directly, who assured me they would always have her supplies in stock moving forward. They kept that promise for about a month and then stopped without informing me, once again leaving me to chase them for her essential supplies. Today, feeling frustrated and stressed out that I wouldn’t get her medication on time, I asked Zoey to have someone call me back. Instead of helping, she told me vets don’t order food and that I should have called, ignoring the fact that I did call last week to check and never got a response. Later, Zoey called back and told me not to come back to the clinic at all. This clinic shows no accountability for their mistakes. They knew my cat’s condition, they knew how serious it was.. yet they failed her repeatedly. Do they really care about our pets?

Today my husband brought our dog to cut her nails, as couple of times before; the service and the experience were amazing the girl who helped us at that time was so Nice and professional, she did it fast and perfect, violet (my dog) didn’t cry or anything. But today was a horrible experience there with the girls who worked there, hurt my dog, she was crying, she did pee because she was scared and the nails were super short that’s the reason that she cried, they didn’t allow my husband to go in there like in the past he had to go in because he heard her what happened, they said that they did it properly but is a lie, we paid because the price is not the problem, we know is a service and we have to pay for it but if the members of the place don’t know how to do it, DON’T DO IT!!!!!
