Our clinic does not offer ear cropping services. This procedure is considered cosmetic and not medically necessary, potentially exposing pets to unnecessary risks. Major veterinary organizations, including the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association, advise against ear cropping for cosmetic reasons. We only consider such procedures in rare cases where there's a valid medical justification.

Unfortunately, we do not take in stray animals. If you need assistance, we recommend contacting your local animal control or shelter. If you have other pet care questions, a veterinarian in Lansing, IL can help guide you in the right direction.

At Ridge Animal Clinic, we require new clients to answer questions about their pet prior to the visit, and we will collect a pre-payment for the appointment.

If you have any questions about preparing for your visit, a veterinarian in Lansing, IL can provide additional guidance.
