Welcome to our hospital!

The Pound Ridge Veterinary Center has been a part of the Pound Ridge community since 1974, when Dr. Emil Dolensek, soon joined by Dr. Ed. Fleischli, opened the Pound Ridge Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Fleischli retired after 30 years of dedicated service to the animals and people of our community, and placed the practice in the hands of Drs. Laurel Kaddatz and Douglas Aspros who gave it our current name. Under their direction, the practice has continued to grow in capability while retaining the focus on service and compassion. Our associates, Drs. Renee Bayha, Christine Wilson and Kimberley Khodakhah, contribute their skill, knowledge and commitment to our patients and clients every day.

Whenever your pet is hospitalized you will receive a treatment plan and an estimate of the charges to approve before we proceed. For your convenience we accept all major credit cards and debit cards. Should a major medical problem arise, instant financing is available.

Whether you have a new puppy or a teenage cat, we hope your association with us will be a long and happy one. We will do our best each and every day to care for you and your animal companions.

Everyone at PRVC has experienced the unconditional love, steadfast loyalty and companionship a pet offers. We know how troubling it can be when an animal is ill and how difficult it is to manage the physical and emotional effects of aging. We’re here to ensure that your companions receive the medical care they need, and that you and your family have access to timely, sensitive, and appropriate advice when planning that care.

Our staff is first-rate: caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. Each has worked to help care for the people and pets in our community for many years …You also benefit from the expertise of our staff consultants in internal medicine, surgery, radiology, avian and exotic medicine and special diagnostics. You can always be sure your pet is getting the most up-to-date care possible.

Newly refurbished and equipped, our consultation rooms, treatment room, radiology, surgical suite and wards are well-designed and contemporary. Our radiographs, electrocardiograms, and ultrasound examinations are routinely sent electronically to board certified specialists for review and consultation.

Ultrasonography is a very useful tool in evaluating chest and abdominal organs. Performed with your pet awake, it is painless and noninvasive method to help diagnose and evaluate your pet’s medical condition. The in-house laboratory supplies critical diagnostic information to better care for our patients.

We are committed to constantly updating our computer technology, as we know that online medical records make for better care.

Meticulously maintained and always spotlessly clean, we take pride in knowing that our veterinary hospital is a safe and sanitary medical facility. Tours of the hospital are always available, upon request.

We thank you for choosing Pound Ridge Veterinary Center, and we look forward to a long, healthy and happy relationship with you and your animal family.

We aim to be the vets your pets would choose!
