Chestnut Ridge Animal Clinic

Chestnut ridge felt more like going to see a family than my last vet. I really appreciated them being able to get me in on short notice, and taking the time to talk with me about lots of concerns. I was made to feel very welcome to ask for more help if needed, to order prescription food directly from them even if it wasn't a brand they normally carry. I also felt like my cat had a very thorough examination. And a couple small things- I appreciated that the vet and vet tech checked to make sure no dogs were in the lobby before bringing my cat out to check out. I also love that they had the room set up so patients can look out the window and explore if they are comfortable. Even the vaccines are chosen to minimize patient discomfort in any way possible! The last 4 or 5 times I went to a vet, I walked out frustrated and feeling like I spent a lot of money and didn't get high quality care. This time, I walked in the door and said to my fiance wow, I am so impressed! I'm really happy I took him there!!!

Fixed up China after he was beat up on night. When I called to see if they could see him I got an appointment the same day. He was checked over and given a shot. The Doctor and staff were all very kind and helpful. China is healing well and doing fine he sends his thanks to them for giving him such fine care.

We received excellent care last year when our 16 year old cat suffered with kidney disease. Dr. Hostetler and the staff were caring and compassionate. The fees charged were very fair. This year, we have two young kittens. They have received excellent care. We are glad we have a down to earth vet we can trust.

I brought my cat in with a swollen paw and leg. He was given an antibiotic shot, an anti inflammatory shot, and three days of pain killers. After almost two weeks, he was getting worse, oozing pus and blood, lying around, so I brought him back, and he was given X-rays. Nothing more. I’m told he’s getting better, just wait. A MONTH after the injury began, I took him to another vet, who is mad he wasn’t seen earlier, and given emergency surgery to locate the problem and help the poor cat get rid of the infection. The vet at Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital is incompetent. If you love your pet, do not bring it here.

We were very disappointed when our little 11 yr old dog was dying. We have been patients of Chestnut Ridge Animal Hospital for decades, and they wouldn't see him. They didn't even know who we were. I'm not at all impressed with the new owners. Dr Smith and Dr Andrea were great. Now we will be looking for another Vet when we are ready for a new pet.
