★★★★★ Updating my review from years ago to reiterate;I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. The staff here are amazing. Everyone from the front desk, the vet assistants to Dr. Cure herself are just top notch.I never have any suprises when it comes to the bill as they go over everything in advance to make sure I am comfortable not only with the price, but any treatment my pets need. They take the time to explain what is needed to be done at home, and have called me multiple times to follow up and make sure everything is going good and I understand instructions or have any questions.You can tell they truely care about animals in their care from the way they interact with your pets.

We were back at Cedar Ridge a week later because the NKC vet misdiagnosed our cat's issue and the amazing people at Cedar Ridge got her taken care of right away (even though they had a VERY busy day full of surgeries and emergencies). They took the time to listen to us and thoroughly check out our cat, and they always treat our cats like they would their own pets. I don't know how far away we would need to move to change vets, but it would be FAR. Thank you, Cedar Ridge Staff, you guys are the best.Jessica H.Jessica H. ★★★★★ They handle our cats.

They got me in same day! This was my first time coming here and I will never go anywhere else. I have been worried sick about my dog and his uti and have not great experiences at other places. The technicians were so so so kind to me and my dog it shocked me. They got down on the ground with us and took so much time to take care of my dog and explain everything along the way. You could tell how genuine they were, not like fake nice. I wish I had got their names but everyone there was amazing. They got me estimates and weren’t trying to up charge me for everything like some places do. They were straightforward and their prices are much better then any place I have seen. I was taken aback by their care if you need a place to go I would come here. .Kayla L.Kayla L. ★★★★★ Nice staff and great service.Stephen M.Stephen M. ★★★★★ They are so nice and they take really good care of your pet.Cathy D.Cathy D. ★★★★★ A little on the pricey side but after calling around it’s close to the average and less of a wait. They are so caring for my Pikachu kitty. It was overall a wonderful experience that leaves us going back.Adrian V.Adrian V. ★★★★★ So far I am liking them. Will be going back for 5 more lazer treatments.....Dennis B.Dennis B. ★★★★★ Our cat accidentally injured her newborn kitten. She broke his jaw and caused a laceration on his face and neck. I was told not much could be done for him. Cedar Ridge was recommended by Northeast Animal Hospital. Everyone there was wonderful. The Dr made special time to see him on a day she was just there to work on a project. Everyone there obviously really loves animals and did everything they could to help this poor baby. The Dr gave me detailed instructions and demonstrated how to wrap his head and feed him with a syringe. We thought there was no hope for him but now we have hope and are going to do everything we can for him. This place and the people are amazing. AND It was so reasonably priced there was no stress over being able to afford help. Did I mention this kitten is less than one day old? Best Vet ever, she was so wonderful!

They genuinely care about my animal.Diane W.Diane W. ★★★★★ I have been taking my animals here for years. They have always been kind, informative, and caring. My dog, Molly , developed diabetes a few years ago and the staff assisted in helping me manage it.Without the knowledge and level of care that CRAH provided, I would have been lost and I am not sure what I would have been able to do for my dog. Thank you for all that you've done for Molly and I. 💜💜💜Kelsie R.Kelsie R. ★★★★★ Friendly service. Nice folk. They careSharri D.Sharri D. ★★★★★ Dr. Cassie is so caring.

They were very thorough, professional and efficient. Dr found a problem that I wasn’t aware of and took care of it right away. I am very satisfied with the level of service, their knowledge and professionalism. Would highly recommend them.

Anne

Our first visit was easy and simple. The staff was great and treated me and my dog with respect. I will happily go back to this clinic in the future.

Kellyn

I absolutely love this place, friendly, caring, and extremely considerate to the needs and feelings of the humans as well as the animals..

Deanna

Everyone friendly—-very little wait time. No pressure to buy extras—-and this hasn’t always been the case. Zoey was greeted warmly and with hugs! Our dog LIKES going to Cedar Ridge and can hardly wait to get in the door, even if she is getting shots!

Molly

Every time we go to Cedar Ridge with our pets, everyone always treats us and our pets like they are family. They provide excellent care and service and are always attentive to our needs and concerns.

Micah

We are always very happy with our care at Cedar Ridge! The staff consistently treats us familiar and their love of animals is obvious. We recommend Cedar Ridge to every pet owner we know.
