As a leading Pet Hospital, we understand the deep bond you share with your pets and are committed to ensuring their health, well-being, and happiness through a comprehensive range of services and a compassionate approach.

Located at 273 IL-2, Dixon, IL 61021, USA, River Ridge Animal Hospital is easily accessible to local pet owners seeking high-quality medical care and related services. You can reach us at (815) 288-3394 or our mobile number +1 815-288-3394 for appointments, inquiries, or in case of urgent needs. Our dedicated team is always ready to assist you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members.

At River Ridge Animal Hospital, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and stress-free environment for both you and your pets. We understand that visiting a veterinary hospital can sometimes be an anxious experience for animals. To address this, we have thoughtfully designed our facilities with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs. This thoughtful separation minimizes potential stress and ensures a calmer atmosphere for everyone. Furthermore, we go the extra mile to provide comfort for our feline patients by offering treated blankets infused with calming scents, helping them feel more secure and relaxed during their visit.

Our commitment extends beyond just the physical environment. Our team of experienced and compassionate veterinary professionals, including veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff, are the heart of River Ridge Animal Hospital. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of medical care, utilizing our expertise and the latest advancements in veterinary medicine to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. From routine check-ups and vaccinations to complex medical and surgical procedures, you can trust that your pet is in capable and caring hands.

The services offered at River Ridge Animal Hospital are comprehensive and designed to meet the diverse needs of our community's pets. These services include:

Preventative Care: We strongly believe that preventative care is the cornerstone of your pet's long-term health and well-being. Our preventative care services include routine wellness examinations, vaccinations tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors, parasite prevention (including fleas, ticks, and heartworms), nutritional counseling, and dental care. Regular check-ups allow us to detect potential health issues early, often before they become more serious and costly to treat.

Diagnostic Services: River Ridge Animal Hospital is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to help us accurately assess your pet's health. These may include in-house laboratory testing for blood work, urinalysis, and fecal examinations, as well as digital radiography (X-rays) to visualize internal structures. These technologies enable us to quickly and efficiently diagnose a wide range of medical conditions.

Medical Treatment: Our experienced veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions, from common illnesses to more complex diseases. We develop individualized treatment plans based on your pet's specific needs, utilizing the latest medical protocols and evidence-based practices. We also believe in clear communication and will thoroughly explain your pet's condition and treatment options to you.

Surgical Services: We offer a range of surgical procedures, from routine surgeries such as spaying and neutering to more complex soft tissue surgeries. Our surgical suite is equipped with modern monitoring equipment, and your pet's safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our skilled veterinary surgeons and dedicated surgical team ensure that your pet receives the highest level of care before, during, and after their procedure.

Dental Care: Dental health is an essential component of your pet's overall well-being. We provide comprehensive dental services, including professional teeth cleaning, dental examinations, and treatment for dental diseases. Maintaining good oral hygiene can prevent pain, infection, and even systemic health problems.

Boarding Services: When you need to travel and can't take your pet with you, River Ridge Animal Hospital offers comfortable and safe boarding facilities. As highlighted in a customer review, our team, like Anna, provides exceptional care for boarding pets, ensuring they feel at home and even sending updates and pictures to their owners. We understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, and we strive to provide a secure and enriching environment for them while you are away.

Doggy Daycare: For pet owners looking for a stimulating and social environment for their dogs during the day, our doggy daycare program is a fantastic option. As one happy customer shared, their dog Gia eagerly anticipates her weekly daycare visits, enjoying playtime with other furry friends and returning home happily exhausted. Our doggy daycare provides a supervised and safe space for dogs to socialize, exercise, and burn off energy, which can be particularly beneficial for social and hyperactive dogs.

At River Ridge Animal Hospital, we are more than just a veterinary clinic; we are a dedicated team of animal lovers committed to providing exceptional care and building lasting relationships with our clients and their pets. We understand the importance of trust and strive to earn it with every interaction. Our commitment to going "above and beyond" for our patients is evident in the positive feedback we receive from our valued clients.

Thank you River Ridge for taking care of my pups, Twister and Gia, while I was out of town! Anna takes such great care of my pups and will update me and send me pictures of them while I’m away. River Ridge goes above and beyond with my dogs, and I highly recommend boarding with them!! I also highly recommend their doggy daycare! My dog goes once a week and gets so excited to go play with her furry friends! The night before shes like a kid waiting for Santa! When she gets home she’s exhausted from playing all day!!! Gia is a very social and hyperactive dog, so daycare is perfect for her!

I received an appointment the next day for my dog with severe allergy issues. Dr. Phil saw him and the care plan has made a world of difference! He is like a new dog, all bouncy, happy and clearing up quickly! I'm so grateful and I know he is too! Thank you River Ridge and Dr. Phil for giving my sweet Rudy the relief he so very needed!

We just had to put down our beautiful girl Maizy because of cancer. Even though we never brought her there before, they were so caring and kind to help us at this terribly difficult time.

Sad to say on Friday we had to send our max over the rainbow bridge he was 12 years old and had cancer. The doctor walked us through every step. She was very nice let us have as much time as we needed to say good bye. She took care of everything. I have been taking both my dogs there for 12 years now. I would never take my dogs anywhere else. They understand that our animals are a big part of our family. Thank you again for being there for us at a very sad time.
