River Ridge Animal Hospital was first established in 1939 (as Dixon Veterinary Hospital) in Dixon, Illinois. We are a four doctor partnership that is dedicated to quality medicine for our patients and clients and quality of life for our team. In 2010, a new, state-of-the-art 17,000 square foot building was built. Our practice is the area's leading companion animal hospital providing progressive, full service pet care. We also provide grooming, boarding and daycare for our clients. We have a wonderful clientele and treat a wide variety of medical and surgical conditions. Opportunity for pursing special interests such as dentistry, orthopedics, exotic animal medicine, rehabilitation, behavior and much more exists. We offer a day off a week with regular long weekends off to enjoy the local parks and activities or for a quick trip to Chicago, Rockford, southern Wisconsin or the Quad Cities. Our many beautiful local and state parks along the Rock River offer a multitude of recreation options on your off time. Our doctors and staff enjoy small town atmosphere and living, allowing us to form lasting relationships with our clients. We are never far from big city excitement, but w...e are able to enjoy a lower cost of living compared to the larger urban areas that are within an hour from us.
