We took our English Bulldog puppy to Dr Fruson with a suspected elongated soft palate. Dr Fruson confirmed this but then also diagnosed him with Megaesophagus without so much as a test. He then proceeded to tell us the soft palate surgery and stenotic nares correction which he also needed would cost '$2500 and up'. And said if he got in there and 'found what he suspected' he would he would stop the surgery and 'have the talk' with us (talk us into putting him down). His whole attitude was totally anti-bulldog. He slammed the breed; he slammed the breeder (who is wonderful by the way). He diagnosed him with 'deformities' - droopy bottom eyelids and an underbite - NO KIDDING!! - HE'S A BULLDOG! We ended up taking him to Wetaskiwin Animal Clinic to a wonderful vet, Dr Hilary (our breeders vet), who fixed him up good as new (for $750!). He does NOT have Megaesophagus by the way! And even if he had - this condition is totally MANAGABLE, which was not even mentioned by Dr Fruson. I was devastated after the consultation with this vet, with no foundation to his diagnosis. And it seems to be the opinion of most people that their pricing is RIDICULOUS. It was clear to us it was all about the money and his narcissism! How many people has he talked into putting their dogs down unnecessarily? No thanks! Steer clear!!

Highly recommended! First off no other vet would even look at my dog since we were not patients with them (our vet recently retired) but his wonderful receptionist fit us in with no questions. Once he came into the room he did nothing but try to make us feel included and comfortable with the whole exam of my dog. I have never had a vet be so thorough with me about my dogs issue and was very gentle and compassionate with my fur baby. Was more then adamant to follow up with him via email or phone on how my dogs infection is healing and not to hesitate to come in or call if I had any further concerns or questions. He also took the time to include my son and talk sports which I heard non stop about the rest of the day. Such a great experience and can't wait for him to become my animals only health care provider. Thank you so much 😊

The caregivers at Ridge Veterinary Hospital have a deep understanding of the roll pets play in improving/maintaining human health of their owners.

Highly recommended. Vet gave us a quick and accurate diagnosis so we could do what we needed to do for our cat. Their prices were reasonable and they showed great compassion for our old kitty cat. Obviously skilled and dedicated to providing great care. Offered several options for treatment and went above and beyond for our sake.

I know my cats are getting the best care when I take them here. Every question is answered in a way that I can understand, and I know I can call anytime. I also purchase their pet foods and even my picky eater likes it.
