  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=16468

  Our facility is specifically equipped for those pets that are too large to be lifted onto standard exam tables, and those older, arthirtic, or injured pets that may feel pain or discomfort when lifted. We are able to accomodate these pets in 2 of our examination rooms that contain hydraulic examination tables. These tables lower to less than 6 inches off of the floor, allowing the pet easliy step onto the surface, and then will slowly elevate them to the appropriate examination heighth.

  The heart of River Ridge Veterinary Hospital is the large treatment area. It is equipped with 2 wet-prep tub tables, on which procedures involving water or solutions (dental cleaning, wound cleaning, surgical preparation) can be performed while keeping pets as dry as possible and minimizing any potential contamination to surrounding surfaces. The area also contains 1 examination table with a cut-away knee space where the veterinarian can sit for procedures such as ophthalmic (eye) examinations.

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=16469

• Cat Boarding

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=16805

  With overlooking views into our reception area and a window view of outdoors, the cats that board at River Ridge Veterinary Hospital are entertained by our staff and clientele while they relax in our spacious "cat condos" in the feline boarding ward. This area not only offers the quiet, comfort and space our feline friends deserve, but is also located far away from any well-meaning but frightening barking boarded dogs! At an owners request, housing of each boarded cat can be expanded simply by opening portals that separate each individual condo unit, permitting access of up to 4 condo units at once; this feature is especially desirable when more than one cat from a household is to be boarded together.

  

• Kennel runs

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=19927

  Our quiet, clean kennel contains six 3 foot by 6 foot kennel runs, and one 4.5 foot by 6 foot kennel run in which large dogs are boarded or housed during outpatient procedures.

  

• Kennel run

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=16358

  Each kennel provides a clean environment for pets, and are constructed to prevent any possible nose-to-nose contact of adjacent animals or exposure to wastes / fluids from other pets through common drains. Ventilation in the kennel exchanges air completely every 5 minutes, greatly reducing odors and decreasing chances of boarding-related respiratory illnesses.

  

• Bathing Area
