Welcome to Animal Hospital On The Ridge
Your Veterinarian in Paradise, CA
Call us at 530-877-3000

.

In 2001 Dr. Dalia Mathan extensively remodeled the old building that once housed Kinship Veterinary clinic, located at 1509 Wagstaff Road, across from Save-Mart in Paradise. It had been sitting empty for more than 5 years and had been vandalized over the years; They did a complete makeover of the building and grounds to make it a prize winning establishment.

The hospital is now a bright, warm and welcoming environment for you and your pets.

We are open for business on the ridge.
Our hours are Monday-Friday, from 8am-5pm. We are closed for lunch between 1pm and 2:30pm. Our lobby is now open on Wednesdays for sales (no appointments), and surgeries can be scheduled Wednesdays as well.

Fully equipped and staffed, we are prepared to provide quality veterinary care to your best friends. This practice has always emphasized personal service and individual care.

Appointments for surgery, dental procedures, or chiropractic adjustments are specially reserved for you and your fur baby. Cancellations and rescheduling must take place 24 hours before scheduled appointments to avoid a cancellation fee. Drop off times for surgeries and dentals are between 8:30am and 9am for scheduled appointments. Call us after 3pm to check on your pet after surgery or dental appointments, and to get a pickup time.
