VCA PineRidge Animal Hospital

I take my children, aka cats, Marvin and Eddie here for everything. The Care-club is amazing and the payment plan is reasonable. I would agree with some that scheduling an appointment with the app is hard when you would like to be seen sooner than a month out but, if you call them the night before or right when they open, they’ll do their best to get you seen asap. They’re very gentle with my boys and answer any questions you have even if it may seem a little silly. Thanks for caring about my pets!

VCA PineRidge has provided excellent care to my dog, Walter. Walter was diagnosed with epilepsy at one and a half years old. My husband and I were terrified and having Kathryn Fox as our vet has brought some calmness to our life. I would highly recommend VCA PineRidge!

Simple call to find out if I could get my dog in for an abscess and they were so rude and mean! I use to go there years ago and loved them. Not sure who they have working there now but definitely not the same experience I remember having before.

Been going here for at least 15 years. My association started with the vets in this clinic when I began Greyhound Pets Of America - Minnesota...a chapter of racing greyhound rescue. After a terrible relationship with a vet who also raised and raced greyhounds, bad vet, I was relieved to find people like Dr. Hartman and Dr Bear to help us out, first with the group, way back when but then I began trusting ALL of my cats and hounds to them. We have been through thick and thin with them over the years, 20 greyhounds and several cats later, we are still asking for Dr. Bear or Dr. Hartman as our first choice. The staff is usually spectacular and because we often brought in 9 greyhounds in...broken in a couple of appointments so we wouldn't have to bring them all at once, we would sometimes monopolize an entire Saturday morning for 'said vet'. They have been kind and caring even in the face of the worst issues. Now we are down to one greyhound and two kitties and still SO many years later and after experiencing SO many vets in this area....we stick with them. Some of their staff have fallen in love with the retired racers and began being foster homes for our group. Their place is clean and has facilities for care that other clinics don't have. I think when you want the best for your pets, you have to stick with those you have the best experiences with. Thanks to Dr. Hartman and Dr Bear for all their years of help, and to the staff at Pine Ridge!

I took my cat to PineRidge Animal Hospital to get a second opinion. She wasn't doing great. Come to find out she was having a allergic reaction to medication that another vet clinic had given her, I called the other vet clinic and they just didn't really care. They told me to keep giving my cat the medication, But I wasn't going to do that, so I made an appointment right away with Dr. Hartman at PineRidge Animal Hospital. He is the best Vet that I have ever taken my animals to. He was kind, caring and compassionate! Thank you Dr. Hartman, you put me at ease, and took care of my cat. Dr. Hartman did blood work and changed my cats medication. My cat is doing much better now. I even got a text today from the clinic to see how my cat was doing, and Dr. Hartman called me today also. My animals will only go to PineRidge Amimal hospital from now on.

Our dog has a lot of anxiety about many things and getting her nails cut is one of them. Even though she is kind of a pain to deal with they are all so nice to her and to me. We have been taking our dogs here for about 5 years and have been very happy with them.

My dog needed to go in asap. It was by appointment only. Took the first one they offered and called me back 10 minutes later asking if I wanted to come in earlier because of a cancellation. Easy to find and the decorations are cute. The vet was nice and took care of my dog and gave me many options. Went through the treatment plan with me and printed them off for me. Very clean and overall a quick and nice experience.

VERY EXPENSIVE! $100+ for a 5-10 minute visit with a vet. That was just for the visit, the medications came to $95 which was also very high. We are established clients. We took our dog in as he had developed a cough. I walked in WITHOUT my dog and explained the situation. No one let me know that I would be charged for an "emergency" visit as I did not have an appointment. I certainly would have made one if I had known they were going to gouge us for the walk in. It was not an emergency! We were the only clients in the waiting area. I do not need a vet that has fancy furniture and an aquarium in the waiting room, just one that takes care of my pet and doesn't take advantage of me. The staff was friendly and the service adequate.
