Southgate Animal Clinic

I have been bringing my fur babies here for at least 30 years. From way back when Dr. Powell was there. I think my Yorkie, Augie, was Dr. Ricker's first patient when she started at Southgate. I like all of the vets here and have always felt my babies were treated with kindness & more importantly empathy, by everyone on staff. Thank you Southgate! Read Less

Been taking my fur kids (cats) for 26 years. Great staff that really cares about your pets. Two of the cats we currently own are rescue cats from the office....we adore them. Cannot recommend them enough.Read Less

Dr Shaw and her team are always the best. She is the only person that I would trust to care for my 4 kids! Cat or dog, super smart and caring! She knows and remembers more about my animals then my primary care doctor knows about me. Old school with modern medicine is this clinic !! Thx doc!! Over 6 years here, and will be here as long as dr shaw is here!! Read Less

The staff at Southgate has always been helpful. The front desk greets you with a smile and is very thorough. The vet techs are amazing!!! The vets we've interacted with (Dr. Wilson is our primary) have been great. I feel so lucky that we have a great place to take our dogs to when they need a checkup or a procedure. Read Less

Brought my 15 week old kitten in today, and I'll definitely be bringing in my other cat to Southgate when it's time for his shots! The staff were friendly and helpful, plus they made my kitten very comfortable. I got quotes from several vets in the area beforehand and Southgate was by far the most affordable I found! Highly recommend them. Read Less

My pets have been coming to Southgate for years, and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Dr. Shaw is our main vet, but weve also seen most of the other doctors over the years, and all have been top notch. Read Less

The staff and doctors are great. They are genuinely concerned about the pets they see. They even took the time to call me at home to see how our new puppy was doing. The dog we had before, was also taken care of at this clinic and they were compassionate and caring with her as well. I highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

My dog has been going here for about 6 years now, and has had the opportunity to see three different veterinarians there. All of the veterinarians have been excellent.They are very knowledgeable, respectful, and caring. Sugar has even had to have a couple of minor surgeries to remove cysts and all have gone as well. Sugar was well cared for during the surgery and she recovered quickly. The vet or a staff member usually calls after a visit just to check in. I find the prices to be very reasonable, and they have extended hours into the evening and on Saturdays, which is very helpful. Read Less

I've just started bringing my kids to this clinic. So far I am beyond impressed with the whole practice overall. The technicians and veterinarian (Dr. Jen is our primary) are top notch going out of their way to make my cats feel comfortable and doing their procedures very efficiently. Our dog, a worry wart, felt so comfortable that he laid down all sprawled out on his side within 10 minutes of walking through the door! I warned them I'm a bit over the top about my cats;) The staff went out of their way to give me updates while I waited at the clinic during my cat's dental. I'm very happy to have found this clinic on the recommendation of two friends who also come here! I look forward to my second cat's dental with much less trepidation. Thank you to all the staff who work so hard each and every day to ensure each pet gets quality, compassionate care!Read Less

I have been very happy with this clinic so far. My cat, Franklin, had some skin reaction when we first moved here, and scratched his face open. Because it was an emergency, we took him to the animal hospital, who recommended that we follow up with a regular vet in a week. Dr. Ricker is the first vet I have met in the 9 years I've had my cat who doesn't try to gouge my bank account. She prescribed one medication to handle his skin allergy, his sinus allergy and his GI track issues, all in one go, and he has been doing very well. I am surprised at the complaints against the prices and the front desk staff. The staff here have always been very proficient and friendly with us. I don't think it is unreasonable for a vet to charge to take care of your pet, and any pet owner should plan accordingly to have money to care for the pet they adopted. Every vet who has ever done blood work on my cat has removed him from my presence to do that, so I don't think it is unusual, and most of them have tried to sell me on tests and surgeries that are completely unnecessary. Dr. Ricker is straightforward, and she is great with my old man cat. Every time we've gone in, I have been very happy with everyone here. We will stick with this vet as long as our proximity allows.

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats in our family. They have had their health problems over the years and we always feel they are so well cared for and loved by everyone at Southgate. No question is too small to them. They know & treat our pets as our kids. Read Less
