VCA Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital

We faced the difficult decision to say goodbye to our dog, and the entire staff at Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital provided all the information, guidance and support we needed. We had not been a client in a number of years, however we were treated with such compassion and professionalism. All team members from the front staff to the technician to the doctor took exceptional care of our Roxy. We are so grateful for the compassion they gave us on this very difficult day.

We just moved to the area and was happy to choose VCA Buffalo Ridge. They were and are able to accommodate me on Saturdays which is so helpful with my job. My first time there today everyone was so nice and helpful. Got myself and Aldo into a room immediately being that he is very energetic towards other animals. Always wants to play. The staff was phenomenal with learning Aldo’s history quickly and making him feel comfortable. Very happy to have found this place. Thank you!

VCA Buffalo Ridge is awesome. The entire staff is commited to your pet. They genuinely care and go out of their way to provide excellent advice, care and treatment for our furbabies. The staff provides different options for treatment and allows you to chose the best treatment plan.

Many of us come down here looking for a new vet and sometimes that first vet experience is just to put our fur baby down. That was me yesterday. In a crisis, wanting urgency, and heartbroken. I called several vets only to be told they are booked. Not VCA Buffalo Ridge. I was in their office 30 minutes later. I expected to go sit in a bright lit room and have a clinical goodbye. Not my first rodeo here. Not at VCA. I walked in with my little guy and my eyes full of tears. They took me right back to a room. But this room was dimly lit with a couch and pillows and was made special just for this occasion that we all dread. They were the kindest and most compassionate people I could have ever wished for. They did things that I don’t think anyone else would have done. When my dog started getting upset when the vet got too close to his momma, I feared I wouldn’t be able to hold him during the injection. The vet quietly walked out of the room. When he came back he had IV tubing. He hooked it up to his IV and gave the injections from afar as to keep my little guy peaceful in my arms. They gave me all the time I needed. They whispered. They showed that they truly cared and understood. When I was getting ready to leave, I asked for scissors to collect some hair. I didn’t just get the scissors. I got a human who came in with a tiny little clear jar and he delicately took pieces of hair in all the places I gave belly rubs and head massages. He took great care in making it special. He made me a memorial that I will cherish forever. Thank you VCA Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital for making one of the hardest moments of my life a peaceful passing over the rainbow bridge with the most love and care. ❤️

When our 15 pound Boston Terrier, Prissy, was savagely attacked in our yard by two large, stray dogs wandering through our neighborhood, we thought she would surely die. We took her to Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital thinking we needed to end her pain. But, Dr. Sexton was able to work miracles. The staff was both competent and caring to Prissy and to us. A week later she was able to come home. She is not as good as new; the attack was savage, but she is happy, affectionate, and able to perch on top of the sofa where she is as tall as the humans who serve her (no one's head can be higher than the Queen's!) We are so very, very grateful to Dr. Sexton and the staff of Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital.
