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.

I’ve been to numerous vets in the area. Ridgewood is top notch. My family had to put our sweet young dog down. Not only was the staff amazing, they cared for her like a child. Several weeks after the dreadful day, we get a card in the mail with heart felt notes from all the staff. Impressed, is an understatement. Thank you all for everything.

Great animal hospital. Took care of my westie's stomach problems and she is now l5 years old and my new puppy goes there and we love Dr. Lane. Friendly staff and very eager to make sure you are happy with results from your visit. Always happy to see your pet. A trusting vet hospital. You can rely on what they say. I do and its always been right. Thank you, Ridgewood vets and staff.

The care team at Ridgewood Animal Hospital always offers compassionate customer service while providing an excellent standard of care for our furry friends. At our last visit, they went above and beyond to ensure that my service dog was ready for her first visit out of the country. Thanks to their due diligence, everything was smooth sailing!

I spent from 2015 to November 25, 2022 attending Ridgewood for my Annabelle’s routine visits and her chronic ear infections. While my last visit will be my most memorable it is not to be overshadowed by the first visit. We saw Dr. Lane and Annabelle has always been very shy around strangers and men. He and his vet tech at the time managed to get a kiss or two out of her with their patience and kindness. Fast forward to our last visit where I had to make the difficult decision to put Annabelle down he and his teams compassion will forever be remembered. I know I’m not special this is how they treat everyone during this type of visit. They took us right to the room, walked me through everything, and when it was time Dr. Lane and the female assistant with him sat with me and most importantly loved on Annabelle with me. When I came in to pickup her she’s and paw print yesterday it was packaged in a beautiful bag and as the front desk agent handed the bag over she said, “Here’s your sweet girl back” I think I made it to the door before breaking down. It’s not just how they are wonderful with our furry loved ones. It’s how they are throughout the entire process. I recommend them to everyone I know and if I ever get another fur baby I will be back. Thank you Ridgewood for your compassion and empathy through the last seven years. From day 1 until the last ride. Krysta

We have been taking our 3 pets here for several years and always had great experiences with Dr. Lane. Recently we have been getting Dr. Rossner and it seems like every time there are issues. Our small dog is a little crazy and takes some time to warm up to people, when we told them this they still just reached down to grab her and were shocked when the dog barked and acted mean (she is all bark and no bite at 17 lbs). Our larger dog has had seperation anxiety since we first got him as a puppy and during all of his puppy visits he did great at the vet because they would do everything right in the exam room with me or my Fiance there (shots, blood draws, etc) but recently they have been taking him to the back for these tasks and struggling every time. I told them he has seperation anxiety and it would help if they could do it with me there. Dr Rossner told me this was more than anxiety and he has handling issues. She suggested cbd oil and handling training because he wouldnt let them touch him. He lets us touch him fine. I have never seen him act up from anybody touching him when we are around and I personally can grab or hold him anywhere without issue so I cant see how this is a dog training issue. I love the facility and as I said before Dr. Lane has given us nothing but positive experiences but it is really a jab when one of the vets wont listen to the owners advice on how to better treat their dog. We are strongly considering other vets at this point.
