Perkins Road Veterinary Hospital Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Very friendly people. After adopting 2 kittens in 2 months (one on purpose, the other by chance) I was looking for a new Vet closer to my house. I wasn't in a hurry but one of the kittens got an infected abscess from being feral for too long and I needed expert care quickly. I called Perkins Road Vet and at first they couldn't fit me in that afternoon but after I told them about my sick kitten the nice receptionist said she could make an exception and fit me in at the end of the day. I was EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE. When I arrived they were super cool and saw me and my two babies immediately. The Dr and her nurse were pleasant and thorough and I never felt like they were rushing things just to quit for the day. They TRULY cared about my kittens and fixed the sick one up best they could, giving me the antibiotics and all that good stuff to finish the job. They scheduled a follow-up the next week but by 3 days later the abscess was healed and the kittens fever was down. The next visit we began all the vaccines and blood work, the usual kitten stuff... Same deal, pleasant and thorough and acting like they really enjoyed animals and helping them stay healthy. I've had a few cats and other vets in the past, I can honestly say that these are the nicest people I've dealt with and I'll be visiting them from now on ????????????

This is the best vet hospital in baton rouge. They loved and took great care of my puppy even after the visit ended. They blessed my dog with another chance of life that other vets didn't offer. Dr. Ritchie was available through email throughout my dog's cancer diagnosis. They treated my baby like family even after he passed. My new puppy will def be a patient for Dr. Ritchie.

The doctors are super sensitive to all of the needs, mine and my pet's!

Everyone here is warm and welcoming. Very knowledgeable.

Dr. Curt Ritchie and staff were very kind and professional. I wanted an experienced oral surgeon for my geriatric cat's tooth removal. My vet friend stressed how important it is that I find a vet who takes x-rays of the mouth before doing surgery. Most veterinarians don't do this. So, I called around and found Dr. Ritchie. Tootsie's a very nervous cat and an awful traveler. She screamed the entire 1 hour drive there! The technician and vet were very good with handling her and talked to her as if she were their own. She ended up needing 3 teeth extracted. Surgery went well, and she woke up vocalizing (as usual!). They sent me home with a topical pain cream to apply to her ear, instead of oral medicine (thankfully!). She did really well once we got her home and recovered nicely. My geriatric male needs his teeth looked at as well. I know exactly where I'm bringing him, even if it is an hour drive (and horrible traffic). It's worth it!

Many years ago I brought my dying cat there to be euthanized and cremated. I was crying my heart out. The vet shoved a large needle into my cat and my cat screamed. I did not want my little cat to leave feeling cruelty at a place where I brought her to leave this world. I left her to be cremated and I regret it now. I will never have a pet cremated again. Bury your pets and don't cremate them. Shame on vets who take their frustrations out on their clients pets!

Had an early appointment. Got right in and out, the staff was great, and the vet seems very knowledgeable.

They really care for your fur babies ❤️

Got some great nutrition advice from this office for Scar. The office was waiting and knew his name and who we were before I even said anything... and this was our first visit

My Tessie passed away 3 days shy of her 15th birthday. Though they didn't know us from Adam, they were loving, kind and compassionate and took great care of my baby. She was cremated and put in a small wooden box. I will always remember their love of a little dog they never even met and their kindness to my family in our hour of despair.

They'll treat your pets nice and even recognize them when they come in. Really nice people but you will pay a premium for the animal hospital atmosphere.

Appreciate the honesty, friendliness, and knowledge of both the staff and Dr. Ritchie. Professional vet services. I recommend for any dental needs.

The staff is very friendly and compassionate. Highly recommend!

Love Dr. Ritchie and his staff. They are wonderful.

My pups are treated like family.

Nice people who really know how to take care of your pets

Wonderful friendly staff. I fell in love with them already on my first visit. I highly recommend them.

They took very well care of my dog. Everyone was extremely nice. If I need to board my dog, ill consider them at the top.

Reasonably priced and my dog loves these guys

The vets at Perkins Road Vet Hospital are smart and caring, but if you're looking for a good deal, they're not the ones to go to. They charged me over $100 for antibiotics for my dog which they gave to me at the clinic at checkout, but I could have easily gotten the same thing at Walmart for $4. I will no longer take my dog to them because I believe that part of treating a patient with respect is not gouging them for their money.

High quality care at very reasonable prices for exams and shots. After years of struggling with digestive problems with my cat, Dr. Ritchie advised me to try a very easy and inexpensive solution that was never recommended to me to before. A few weeks later, problem solved. I feel that Dr. Ritchie is very attentive to details and less likely to jump to the most expensive solution first and instead start with practical, conservative measures before asking patients to fork out hundreds of dollars. After taking both my cat and my dog in for health problems in the last 6 months, I'm very happy with the care given by Dr. Ritchie and his staff.

If you are looking for outstanding quality and care for your dog or cat, especially for issues related to oral and dental health, Perkins Road Veterinary Hospital is the only place you need visit. I was referred to PRVH because my 11-year-old basset hound needed extensive oral surgery requiring multiple extractions and the repair of an oronasal fistula. Dr. Curt Ritchie and his staff spent the first part of our consultation building a rapport with my girl. This was extremely important to me because I promised my dog when we rescued each other that from that day forward she would have a good life for the rest of her days. After the examination, Dr. Ritchie carefully explained what he was going to do and made sure that all of my questions were answered and fears were allayed before I scheduled the surgery. On the day of the surgery, I was kept updated on my girl's status and in the days following the surgery, the staff called to check up on their patient. Dr. Ritchie and his staff made sure that I was able to keep my promise and his work improved my girl's quality of life immeasurably. She was always a sweet and happy girl, but her sweetness and happiness has increased exponentially in the 5+ weeks since her surgery.
