Rusty Ridge Animal Center - Veterinary Hospital & Luxury Pet Lodging/Daycare 949 Bell Road, Minooka, IL 60447

"Absolutely fantastic experience here today. Called on a Friday and the team member on the phone was very kind and accommodating, they were able to offer me an appointment day-of or the following day! My cat was seen by Dr. Joe and the tech that checked us in, and both were incredibly kind. I've never seen my pet so comfortable at the vet, before coming here. Can't recommend Rusty Ridge enough!!!! go team!!!"

"When we found out our Bella had a major infection inside her our vet and every vet in the area wanted at least 10-15 thousand dollars or told us to put her down. Our friends told us to go see Dr. Joe and thank god we did. Not only did he remove the infection that ruptured inside her, he stayed with her and called us every hour to let us know she was in doing well. Its been over a year now and I cant imagine seeing another vet ever again - Dr. Joe is him!"

"When my own vet of 10 plus years refused to see me two times now in an emergency situation....dr. jo saw my cat who was very very sick and got her in within minutes of the phone call. He saved my kitties life. We found our new vet :)"

"Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my german shepherd Rizzo. I cannot help but get upset when he is sick but I try my best. Rizzo is getting older and due to his breed genetics he has arthritis in his front legs and he had a hard time getting up and running around. Rusty Ridge was recommended to me due to Dr. Joe and his knowledge in cutting edge surgery to help dogs with this issue. I meet with Dr. Joe and he took a lot of time explaining to me about Stem Cell surgery and how the success rate has helped many dogs with arthritis be able to move around and become themselves again. I even talked to Micayla as well because this is my baby, this is my dog and I wanted more information and rusty ridge understood and provided me with the info. Still I said I would think about it and said to myself I'll do this procedure in 2024. However, two months ago Rizzo got worst and I called them up and said how he couldnt walk well and had a hard time getting up. They told me to bring him right in and Dr. Joe took the time to see Rizzo and tell me basically he is fine and it is in my head, but he still does have arthritis and prescribe pain meds. No mention of the stem cell surgery from him or his staff just a normal appt. to calm my mind and take care of my boy. I decided to do the surgery in September. One of the person in charge was Kaitlin and she took her time explaining everything again (this would be the 5th time they talked to me about this procedure, never once being impatient with me). Even the discharge instructions I wrote everything down and triple checked it with Kaitlin and she acted like she had all the time in the world to talk to me. After the surgery my 8 year old german is running around my backyard, catching his frisbee and able to get up and down with no issues. He is back to acting like he was a puppy, jumping, playing and acting like himself. I'm so grateful. Thank you! If you want to learn more about stem cell surgery call Dr. Joe. Nonetheless be prepare, my 8 year old German bugs me nonstop about 6 times a day to play outside. Couldnt be happier but lord I am tired."

"Dr. Joe and the entire staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Joe is so knowledgeable and very laid back. I never feel rushed, but yet I’m always in and out in an appropriate amount of time. They take such good care of my Tiger and always make sure to run all finances by me before operating or doing any medical procedures. Thank you guys for your clinic and for caring so deeply for all of the animals you treat!"
