Important Announcement

Dear Valued Clients,

I hope you are all having a great summer and enjoying the nice weather and the great outdoors.

I’m writing to inform you that I have decided to retire this year on Nov 17, 2023. I feel sad about leaving the profession that has been so interesting and brought so many lovely relationships into my life. After the COVID pandemic and family health issues, I’m tired and need a break from my daily work routine.

I’m leaving you in the hands of the very caring and competent staff at the clinic that you all know. Dr. Liz is a compassionate, knowledgeable veterinarian and a skilled surgeon. I can’t think of anyone better to succeed me.

We are also continuing to look for another veterinarian to join our team who embodies our clinic values.

I wish you all health and happiness for yourselves and your furry friends.

Be well,
Dr. Ricci

About us

our veterinary services

Providing A Wide Range Of Quality Services

We pride ourselves on the wide range of quality services we provide at the Belle Plaine Animal Hospital. We offer traditional Western medicine options, administered by our team of trained and certified veterinary health care professionals.

Primary Pet Care

Includes routine check-ups, physical exams, senior wellness screenings, vaccines, parasite prevention, flea and tick prevention, micro-chipping, pharmacy, and exotic pet care.

Pet Diagnostics & Radiology

Blood work and other tests are essential to providing a “window” into your pet’s body. Diseases that are not apparent during an exam can be detected quickly through the use of lab tests.

Pet Dental Care

Just as it’s important for you to see a dentist regularly, it’s important for dogs and cats as well. Your pet’s oral health is directly connected to their overall health and wellness.

Pet Surgery

Our experienced veterinarians provide many surgical services at our clinic. We take every precaution so that your pet receives the highest-quality care during their procedure.
