The staff at Ridgewood animal hospital is amazing. I believe Kayley was our tech. They are so kind and helpful and took care of our puppy even though we were just in Forest for a week-end and not regular customers- we thought our puppy had a tick and couldn’t remove it on our own. We called Friday and they were able to schedule us on Saturday. Thank you so much for helping us on short notice. Highly Recommend- if we lived in the area, we would definitely choose them.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
First visit to the vet with our new recently re-homed dog. Pre-check-in, through bringing our baby back out to us went very smoothly. They listened to my questions and concerns and provided answers and information. They had good knowledge about the breed and things for me to take care of.

I brought my puppy in until he was older than a year. They failed me multiple times: taking months until we could get a insurance thing settled when it should've taken a week or two, not giving my puppy his twos when boarded (I knew because they were new toys and unchewed), and failed not once but TWICE to inform me that my dog needed a specific vaccine booster within a tight time frame before saying he needed a third booster to protect him. In the vaccine scenario they wasted my money and time, and forced my.poor puppy to be sick from a third vaccine booster. My puppy had severe anxiety and mental

I transferred my dog to this clinic after not being satisfied with the care/professionalism at her prior vet's office--we had been there earlier this year and we had been feeling rushed and that me and my pets were a burden to them.
They were wonderful at Ridgewood! They were extremely thorough and kind and actually gave me a long term treatment plan for my dog's skin condition rather than just treating things when she would get flare-ups and infections. I never felt rushed and they kept me updated throughout the entire appointment. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely the most amazing people! They took our sweet boy in an urgent situation in the midst of a chaotic Monday morning. The care and compassion they have for animals is such a beautiful thing. Dr. Lane provided detailed updates and answered any questions. Every single person we interacted with had the kindest hearts. We will be transferring both of our cats here and will always recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much, Ridgewood Animal Hospital!

Absolutely recommend Dr. Lane and the team at Ridgewood Animal Hospital! Everyone is always very kind and professional. Dr. Lane has cared for our cat since she was a kitten. It is clear that Dr. Lane is extremely knowledgeable & truly cares for the pets (and their owners!). He is always willing to answer questions no matter how long it’ll take. Our cat doesn’t enjoy the vet🤪, but we trust Dr. Lane with our cat and wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! 🐈⬛ Thanks Ridgewood!!

Dr. Lane and his team are some of the most caring medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Veterinary care is available at many different area providers, and you'll find a variety of experiences depending on where you go. Time and time again, with our large herd of creatures (a mostly rescue and senior collection of 5-10 animals at any given time), we choose Ridgewood Animal Hospital. From big needs (emergency surgeries, end of life care, rare disease management) to little needs (routine wellness, new puppy visits), we choose Ridgewood Animal Hospital.
