Companion Animal House Calls

👎❌🚫 I saw zero credibility as everything out of her mouth was negative. The vet was too concerned with saying how old our dog is rather than actually providing any substance in which you would think her title would afford her...but not a mere bit of substance from this overpriced vet. Our dog pulled away when getting her blood drawn, she says "all old dogs do this"...this is how loosely she loves to tell you your dog is old as many times as she can...Upon asking numerous times to stop calling our dog old, she kept doing it and refused to honor our home's wishes. She was eventually asked to leave before the end of the appointment. Having her in our home was a pretty sickening experience. We appreciate the vet techs care and compassion. The vet though 🤮 Communication could be much better too. We went to an emergency vet, a regular vet and an ophthalmologist and all three combined cost as much as this one time waste of service. Costs aside, because no amount of money can provide the best care, however we paid for the best care but got a discount vet. Didn't even take the time out to provide feedback on blood work done. Lazy and incompetent. Didn't even care enough to check how our dog was doing after butchering her nail that left her bleeding significantly well after it was cut. It is normal to cut the skin and bleed when trimming a dog's nail, this was NOT that. But you know what she blamed it on, "old dogs do that". If you want the female doctor Kevorkian in your house, she's your girl. It's clear, she is not interested in healing.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ryder. She was on time, professional and compassionate.....She is the most caring vet I have ever met! She also spent her valuable time (especially now when all vets are swamped) with myself and my precious pup, not a quick 15 minutes. She discussed my pup's condition and options for treating her. She also gave, yes, gave, me a can of special diet food for my pup to try. I will also say that her bill is EXTREMELY reasonable compared to my regular vet's bill. Saving my pup the stress and trauma of a trip to the office is priceless and her visit was very reasonable. Her office staff is also very helpful, pleasant to speak with, and caring! Love Companion Animal House Calls!!!! Thank you Dr. Ryder, you are truly special!

Dr. Ryder and her team have cared for our two dogs for several years, and were there for us when we recently had to put one of our dogs down. They were professional, flexible, and empathetic to our needs and emotions at that challenging time. The provided vet car with a personal touch and made the experience as positive as possible and we are so grateful for that. Dr. Ryder provided vet care for our dogs in our home as they aged, so we didn't have to take them out to a vet office as their mobility declined and their anxiety was high. It has been very pleasant to work with them and we recommend Dr. Ryder and her team highly to anyone.

Dr. Ryder and her vet tech Sarah are probably the toughest women I have witnessed. I have had many cats over the years and thought I had seen it all but my cat scared me today. Dr. Ryder and Sarah said no big deal and made me feel better. Their confident handling and tenacious attitude is the only reason this difficult cat gets her once a year rabies shot and an exam. I was ready to give up today and they were able to get the job done. I am so impressed. The only negative is that Dr. R can't give me a sedative!

I can't recommend Dr. Ryder enough. I called her late one afternoon as my senior cat's health was rapidly declining. She made time for us that evening and the next day helped with the end of life process. Dr. Ryder was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Her honesty about what was happening with my cat's health was exactly what I needed. She took such great care examining Penny and taking in her medical history. Her assistant was also fantastic. I regret not using Dr. Ryder earlier in Penny's life. So much less stress to see a vet at home. The price for the visits was very reasonable and comparable to what I would have paid at my usual vet's office.
