Ridge Lake Animal Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care for dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets and exotics. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and external laboratories. We also work closely with local specialty practices when advanced diagnostic procedures are required. The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, surgery suite, digital x-ray machine, digital dental x-ray machine, a closely supervised hospitalization area, and indoor boarding kennels with an outdoor walking area. 

 We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and are dedicated to becoming your partner in your pet's health care. We strive to offer clear advice and thorough veterinary care, including preventative care for young healthy pets, early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages, and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime. Our goal is to help you understand the issues and options that your pet faces, and to help you keep your pet happy and healthy for as long as possible.
