Wellness Exams
Routine wellness exams ensure pets maintain optimal health through early disease detection and preventive care. Our veterinarians tailor exams to each pet's age, breed, and medical history, covering physical evaluations, oral health checks, and vaccine recommendations. These exams help identify potential issues before they become serious, promoting longer, healthier lives for dogs and cats of all ages.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. We provide core vaccines required by law and recommend lifestyle-based non-core vaccines. Our team creates personalized schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult pets, ensuring proper immunity while minimizing unnecessary treatments through careful risk assessment.
Advanced Diagnostics
Our in-house laboratory and digital imaging tools enable rapid diagnosis of complex conditions. Services include bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, ultrasounds, and echocardiograms. These technologies help detect internal issues like organ abnormalities, heart conditions, and foreign objects, allowing for timely treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes through precise medical imaging.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia prevent periodontal disease and systemic health complications. The process includes ultrasonic scaling, polishing, digital X-rays, and extractions when necessary. We also offer at-home care guidance and specialized diets to maintain oral health between visits, addressing issues like bad breath, tooth loss, and gum infections.
Urgent Care
After-hours urgent care is available through OVG Urgent Care for critical conditions like trauma, breathing difficulties, and poisoning. Our network provides immediate attention for pets needing emergency treatment outside regular hours, with specialized equipment and board-certified specialists available for complex cases requiring advanced diagnostics or surgical intervention.

Report
We have been going to Ridgeview, and now The Ridge for 20 years in total. Dr. Gaines and the team are always amazing. And, our dog is a rescue with some VERY big trauma from his past. However, you can see he does just fine in his environment. They are always so patient and kind. I would recommend them to anyone!

This was our first full visit for our new pup, Daisy. We chose this location because we had used it with Dr. Backlund (retired) for years. The Ridge took over the clinic. Our visit was great! Courtney and Dr. Gaines were very caring and compassionate. The staff at the front desk was friendly. The doctor took plenty of time with Daisy and answered all our questions. We look forward to having a long relationship with this vet clinic. Thank you.

Report
We have been taking our little senior dog Sadie to the Ridge for rehab therapy after we opted out of rear hip surgery on the recommendation of our regular vet. We have been extremely pleased with everyone there, from the front office staff, to the tech therapists and to the vets. Sadie is progressing nicely, and we have seen improvement in her range of motion movements, and a seemingly lessening of pain (due partly to the pain and anti inflammation meds). She is getting a mixed bag of treatments: Laser therapy, water treadmill, stretches, etc. We would recommend The Ridge for any rehab therapy on your beloved canine pets.

I have that dog with severe allergies and she has seen MANY different veterinaries in her short 8+ years. Joanne Gaines at The Ridge is an excellent vet. She listens and is open to new things and isn't condescending in her responses. I would highly recommend using this clinic to anyone who is looking to change their pet's doctor. I raw feed and use as much holistic treatment as possible and the doc has no problems helping me with this. She is great! Glad I found her.

I have been going to Dr Backlund and his staff for decades and recieved excellent care for all my kitties. I was sad he retired (kudos to him) and a bit worried about the change in vets but I have loved the new vets. And happy to see some of the old staff is still there. They have taken great care of my cats with their various issues and are always happy to answer questions.
