Report
I rescued a sweet maltipoo, Maggie, a month ago. I wanted to find a different Veterinary clinic than the one I'd used with my previous fur baby. After very detailed research and reading reviews of at least a dozen Veterinary clinics, I kept coming up with Rickords being on the top of the list. I then did a drop in one day to meet the front office and ask questions in person. I was very impressed with the friendliness and knowledge of the staff.
I then scheduled an appointment for my fur baby with Dr Rickords and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to trust Rickords Animal Clinic with the care of my Maggie. They are very prompt with returning messages and the online portal is an easy way to communicate with them and make appointments.

I love this place. The staff are awesome. My animals love them. Everyone is always friendly. Seems like they really care about your critters. Unfortunately. I'm moving, so I'll have to find a different place to bring my dogs, but I recommend this vet. If you're looking for a switch or recently moved. This is the one.

Love this Vet. They are compassionate and not as expensive as some. We have been going here for years. Love the staff. They also have good hours. Open some on weekends which is helpful if you work during the week.
