Welcome To Ripon Veterinary Hospital
“We treat your pets like the valued family members they are.”
Every Veterinarian takes a solemn oath to use scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society, through the protection of animal health and the relief of animal suffering. Here at Ripon Veterinary Hospital, we take that oath one step further….to treat every animal that comes through our door as a very special being and a close member of your family. The Doctors of Ripon Veterinary Hospital believe that good veterinary care comes from not only the mind, but from the heart as well.
We have served clients from Turlock, Merced, Keyes, Ceres, Modesto, Salida, Ripon, Manteca, Tracy, Livermore, Lathrop, Stockton, Lodi, Farmington, Linden, Escalon, and Oakdale areas.
Our goal:
At Ripon Veterinary Hospital is to provide the best veterinary care in a friendly and competent environment. Your pets quality of life is our first priority.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Due to a Doctor shortage, we have had to make temporary changes to our business hours on Saturdays. For January and going forward until further notice, we will be open the 1st 2nd and 3rd Saturday of the month. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working on getting back to our regular business hours.
At this time, we are not accepting birds (including parrots, ducks, chickens, and other avian species) for appointments due to concerns related to avian influenza (bird flu). This measure is being taken to prioritize the health and safety of all animals and staff.
We will provide updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
