Services
Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease, which affects 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years old. We perform professional cleanings under anesthesia, including subgingival plaque removal and oral health assessments. Advanced dental care helps prevent systemic infections that could damage vital organs through the bloodstream.
Surgical Services
We provide specialized surgical care for soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Our surgical team handles everything from routine spays/neuters to complex orthopedic operations like cruciate ligament repairs. Emergency surgeries are performed with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous patient monitoring throughout the procedure.
Radiology
Our state-of-the-art digital radiography system offers immediate imaging for internal diagnostics. This technology helps identify fractures, joint abnormalities, and organ conditions without invasive procedures. The non-invasive technique provides high-resolution images while minimizing radiation exposure for our patients.
Preventative Care
Comprehensive wellness programs include annual checkups, vaccination protocols, and early disease detection. We create customized preventative care plans based on age, lifestyle, and breed-specific needs. Regular screenings help maintain optimal health through parasite prevention and nutritional guidance.
Microchipping
Our microchipping service provides permanent identification for lost pets. The implant procedure takes seconds and requires no anesthesia. Each registered microchip links to owner contact information in national pet recovery databases, significantly increasing reunion chances when pets become displaced.

Everyone there is super competent, patient, and compassionate. I've been called well after normal hours just to check up on my ailing pet.

Report
I already paid over $300 for my dogs visit. About a month later they sent me a bull for $53 more. I called to ask why since I paid in full. They said they forgot to charge for some tests I never agreed to. I told the lady I was not impressed and she told me I could go elsewhere. I said I certainly will!

I am so appreciative of the staff and vet at Ridge view. My dog had a large piece of rawhide stuck on his mouth and they got me in right away. They did a great job!
