We love The Ridge! They have been great to us from keeping our dogs healthy and happy to helping us make a hard decision and help us to say goodbye to a loved pet. Thank you! ???

I just can't put into words how much I love The Ridge and both Dr. Gaines and Dr. Miller. My two doggos were patients of Dr Backlund and when he retired these amazing docs took over. While I was apprehensive before I took my dogs, I knew they were going to get the best care after their first visit. Highly recommend The Ridge and any of the fantastic vets. Your furry family member will receive nothing but the best care.

The staff is nothing but friendly and helpful. The first trip with my dog was quick and easy and I plan to continue taking him there when needed!
