Dr. Cliff Heidinger and the team at Ridgefield Animal Hospital are the best. I have been bringing my cats and dogs to him since 1985. I moved to another town 12 years ago, but I still bring my pets there. Dr. Heidinger is caring and patient... with both his animal patients and with us owners! He wont do unnecessary tests or procedures, and has a very down-to-earth approach when recommending treatment. Hes been a local institution in Ridgefield for a very long time. The few emergencies Ive had, theyve always taken our little guys in right away and brought them back from the brink. The rest of the team is great too - some that have been with him for years, and some high school or college students that help out - they all are very gentle with the animals. They are there because they love animals, and Dr. Heidinger loves mentoring them. Mark, who keeps the operation humming, is so helpful and friendly too. Hes always got a kind word, and will work around your schedule whether its an emergency or just a check-up. They all know your name and your pets names. And his wife makes beautiful little catnip ornaments at Christmas - stop by and take one or two from the tree in the office!

Have been there 2 times now. I switched from another vet in Ridgefield that I had not had a good experience with. I had called my old vet To get my dog again because he had a very painful rash. It was nine in the morning and they couldnt see him until four, and they had at least four vets there . Dr heidinger got him in at 11am. Ridgefield animal hospital is a very small homey place, with a small group of workers that are all so nice and friendly. Mark at the front desk is wonderful, so helpful and nice. All the vet techs say hi, and are very friendly. Dr. Heidinger is great, very compassionate. Also I called a couple of times in between my visits, expecting to have them call me back, or talk to a vet tech, each and every time Dr heidinger himself got on the phone with me. Im a bit neurotic when it comes to my dog, but we definitely found our new vet

Have worked with Dr. Heidinger for many years with several of my animals cats and dogs. Also have boarded there on occasion. Dr. has only done the right thing for my pets. I trust him completely with my animals. I dont believe for one second anyone who says he has ever been rude, not possible, it is not his personality!!!!! The vet. techs have also been great. I cannot imagine anyone having a problem with any of them. They handle my animals always with care and take them out and play with them when boarded. They look like they really enjoy what they do. I would never hesitate to recommend this vet. There are other larger vet services in town but I prefer the intimacy of this group and I have run into somewhat abrupt and even rude services at some of the others. I am very happy with them and highly recommend!!

Vet tech was EXTREMELY rude to me when I brought my newly adopted shelter dog in after he had gotten sick, as the shelter used the vet before. The dog had been vaccinated for distemper by this vet, but ended up getting it anyway. Im not really sure who is to blame for the heartbreaking ordeal, this vet or the shelter down south where he was shipped up from. Bedside manner stinks with all but one friendly vet tech.

Two reviews are not really accurate. It looks like ILLSales was never at the Hospital - sells internet local listings. Apparently the Hospital must have refused to deal w/ them. Look at her other reviews. All over the country and all negative. As for "A Google User" #1, the story is wrong. RAH never vaccinated the puppy, it came to them w/ distemper.

Wonderful Veterinarian - very caring, and goes above and beyond in supporting the owners and the animal in times of decision making and alternative solutions. Would thoroughly recommend this practise to anyone in town or new to town. Front desk manager, extremely professional and all staff pleasant and caring.

I have been very pleased with Dr Heidinger at Ridgefield Animal Hospital. I rescued a dog in Ridgfield, that came down with Kennel Cough within a week. Mark gave me an appointment right away. They are honest and reliable.

We always take our Maine coon, Ginger, there for a shave each summer. The front desk manager is so friendly that he even recognizes her case. Everyone is so nice.

CLif Hedinger is the best he treated my cat when I was 5, and my hamsters when I was in high school. If I still lived in Ridgefield I would still go to him.
