Ridgemont Animal Clinic

MISSION STATEMENT
RIDGEMONT ANIMAL CLINIC

Our mission is to provide quality, progressive medical care for your pets with integrity, compassion, & respect.

Ridgemont Animal Clinic won the title of Practice of Excellence! This national award has been given to only 71 veterinary practices across the United States and Canada over the last five years! Nationally known experts in veterinary medicine and business judged us in such areas as the high standards of veterinary medicine practiced here, innovative practice management, and community involvement. We are very honored by this recognition, as it is only awarded to veterinary practices which use the latest techniques in pet health care, and places great importance on maintaining the bond between people and their pets.We were featured in an article in Veterinary Economics Magazine. Some of the reasons we were selected include:

Dental Care - proper care of your cat or dog's mouth will influence his/her overall health. All pets need their teeth cleaned annually by age three. We have a dental xray machine to help determine your pet's oral health, and check for broken or damaged teeth.
Cancer Therapy - Dr. Core has experience with treating dogs and cats with cancer. No longer are all cases of this disease hopeless! Many animals can live longer, with an excellent quality of life. Early diagnosis, chemotherapy, surgery and management of pain are some ways we can provide your pet with the most up-to-date treatment of this disease.
In-depth Diagnostics - Sometimes, finding a diagnosis is a little like detective work. After all, our patients can't tell us what's wrong! We practice veterinary medicine with the whole animal in mind. This means we look for the answer, the complete answer, to your pet's health problems. We can provide answers through blood tests, xrays, endoscopy, and much more.
