Services include nutritional counseling and preventive care plans customized to each pet's life stage.
Pet Surgery Services
We perform soft tissue surgeries and specialized procedures using modern anesthetic monitoring equipment. Our surgical team provides pre-operative consultations, pain management plans, and post-operative follow-up care. The facility maintains strict sterilization protocols to minimize infection risks during procedures ranging from spays/neuters to complex abdominal surgeries.

Our dental program includes professional cleanings, digital radiography, and treatment for periodontal disease. The team educates owners about home care techniques while addressing dental trauma and oral tumors. Preventive care reduces systemic health risks associated with untreated dental infections in cats and dogs through early intervention strategies.
Pet Acupuncture
Certified practitioners administer acupuncture treatments for chronic pain management and rehabilitation. This complementary therapy addresses musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, and neurological disorders through traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Sessions use sterile needles placed at specific meridian points to stimulate healing and improve quality of life for senior or injured pets.
Pet Radiology
Digital radiography provides immediate diagnostic images for evaluating skeletal structures, thoracic organs, and abdominal contents. Our equipment captures high-resolution views of heart-lung relationships and detects foreign bodies or abnormal growths. Dental X-rays allow visualization of tooth roots and jawbone health during comprehensive oral assessments.

Our dog has chronic kidney disease, on his last two visits he saw Dr. Rosen. She is very professional, takes time to answer all questions, and educates me on my dog's current condition. You can see that she truly loves animals. I would like to add that the entire staff - all Doctors, med techs, front desk girls are all professional, friendly, caring and very very helpful. We highly recommend Park Ridge Animal Hospital and would never think of going anywhere else.

I recently got a puppy and had many visits to Park Ridge vet as you do with new dogs. I am extremely disappointed with how they handle their billing and pricing information. My pup had an itchy ear (very common) I brought him in and almost left paying close to $500 just for an ear infection! I had asked for pricing before making any decisions and of course was shown the two most expensive options.
It wasn't until I pushed back that they then told me there was a $40 medication I could buy instead. this is not the first time this has happened. I was also quoted over 2k for my puppies neuter and umbilical cord procedure. I spoke with multiple other vets who were shocked by this pricing! Being a first time dog owner I wasn't sure how to gage the pricing and they were absolutely taking advantage of this.
Thank god I asked for another opinion. I was also told I had to get blood work done 3 times because the results were coming back wrong. which I was to pay for all three misreadings! I am so outraged by how careless they are with pricing and billing and they absolutely take advantage if you are not paying attention: Please be aware of your bill and don't be overcharged!

Park Ridge Animal Hospital (PRAH) are great. Vets and technicians know their stuff. When we call for assistance when our dog is sick or injured, we get an instantaneous response. Our dog is 6 years old and has been consistently healthy, and PRAH shares credit for that. Unless there was an emergency and they were not open, would not take my dog anywhere else.

Very happy with PRAH. Their staff are polite, helpful and listen to all my concerns regarding my dog. The Doctors explain what they find and what is needed to help when she is not feeling well, or needs regular care. I also like that they follow up with how she is doing.

Dr. Scaglione and the entire staff are absolutely wonderful. I met Dr. Scaglione when I took my Golden during covid ( he is our baby but he is 12 years old). She immediately knew something was wrong without knowing him before and she was correct. She has taken wonderful care of him since and so has her office, absolutely wonderful! She calls to check up on him too which means so much to us. We are so fortunate because we know she saved our little boy's life and we know they truly care for our pets: Thank you for being who you are, we are so grateful for you.

We absolutely love the whole team at Park Ridge! They are a little more expensive than other vet offices, but, I know they care more about our fur babies than others. They go above and beyond to to everything to keep pets safe and healthy.
