Summers Ridge opened in Janesville, MN in 1986. Since then, Summers Ridge has grown into a multi-species medical practice. In 2012 Summers Ridge moved into a new facility which allowed for an expansion from 900 sq. ft. to 2300 sq. ft. This increase in space also allowed for an expansion of services and products by adding a secondary exam room and more kennel space.

Shortly after, Summers Ridge added state of the art monitering equipment for surgeries, new digital x-rays, blood work machines, and laser therapy. These advanced veterinary technologies have allowed our staff to engineer a greater focus on small animal medicine and surgery.
