Many pets experience varying degrees of fear, anxiety, or stress during veterinary visits, which can affect their healthcare differently. We are specially trained to address these challenges, ensuring your pet receives the care they deserve. Our approach is centered on prioritizing your pet's health while maximizing their comfort, even in a setting typically associated with stress. This foundation underlies all the care we provide, which fosters trust with our clients and patients, and often leads to significantly improved health outcomes.

We achieve Fear Free® care by certifying all our staff with Fear Free® education and through the meticulous design of our hospital. Our facility features separate dog and cat wings, personalized veterinary visit plans for each pet, non-slip floors, and a tranquil lobby, among other considerations. To learn more about Fear Free® please visit the Fear Free Pets website or our Fear Free Resources.

Ensure your pet's well-being with our wellness screenings, offered annually or semi-annually. These comprehensive physical exams or consultations encompass diagnostic tests and/or vaccinations, vital for your pet's health even when they seem perfectly fine. We recommend keeping your pets on preventative medication year round to help prevent the increasing prevalence of diseases in Colorado like heartworms, ehrlichia, or the plague.

Given our pets' inability to communicate verbally, regular objective assessments of their internal and external health are crucial. Many illnesses remain hidden and can be effectively treated or managed if detected early.

Take the proactive step to safeguard your pet's health. Reach out via phone or email to schedule an appointment today.

We provide urgent and emergency care by appointment during our normal business hours to new and existing patients. Please call or email to schedule an appointment. Scheduling is subject to availability.

We also provide daytime hospitalization and will refer cases to local 24 hour hospitals when necessary.

Maintaining your pet's dental health is paramount for their overall well-being. At our hospital, we offer a range of dental services, including cleanings, digital dental radiography, and comprehensive dental and oral surgical procedures with our experienced veterinarians. If your pet needs specialized or advanced dental care, we collaborate with local dental specialists to ensure they receive the best possible treatment.

Our surgical services encompass a wide range of procedures, including mass removal, spay/neuter, bladder surgery, spleen removals, biopsies, and intestinal surgeries, among others. Our newly equipped, state-of-the-art surgical suite boasts multi-parameter anesthetic monitoring, guaranteeing the utmost safety and well-being of your pet throughout the procedure.

Furthermore, our Fear Free approach differs from most hospitals. Your pet's drop off time will be streamlined to prevent them from sitting in a kennel for hours prior to their procedure and allows you to be present during the premedication and catheter placement if you desire. We have found this routine significantly reduces fear, anxiety, & stress and usually requires less premedication to facilitate anesthesia.

Following surgery, we implement a vigilant communication system to aid in the prevention and management of common post-operative complications, ensuring your pet's continued recovery and comfort. We pride ourselves in providing a support system specially designed to help your pet have a successful surgical recovery.

We also collaborate with local 24 hour hospitals in case your pet needs to be transferred for continued monitoring post-surgery.

Skin allergies are prevalent among pets, constituting one of the most common health concerns they face. The Colorado climate often prolongs allergy season, which can significantly affect your pet’s happiness and health. Our practice has extensive experience in addressing allergic skin disease, offering comprehensive allergy testing, desensitization therapy, and utilizing the latest advancements in treatment to promote your pet's comfort and maintain healthy skin.

Numerous health conditions necessitate routine check-ups, labwork, imaging, medication refills, or even simple discussions to safeguard your pet's well-being and also to ensure you are confident and happy with their care. Effective management of chronic diseases often hinges on the attentive support of a veterinary hospital that remains actively engaged and responsive to the fluctuations inherent in such conditions. Our practice offers continuous care tailored to chronic diseases, complemented by clear and responsive communication to ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet. Your pet will always have our undivided attention.

At our hospital, we offer digital radiography and ultrasonography services. Radiographic images are typically evaluated by board-certified radiologists. We conduct Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) and brief ultrasounds as needed. For comprehensive abdominal ultrasounds and echocardiography, appointments can be arranged through a mobile internal medicine specialist so your pet can receive care at our hospital in a familiar setting that is convenient for you.

For our existing patients we maintain a collaborative partnership with mobile board-certified orthopedic/soft tissue surgical and internal medicine specialists who can provide advanced care at our hospital for complex cases. This arrangement not only enhances convenience for you but also helps keep stress levels minimal for your pet by maintaining a familiar environment with staff you and your pet have learned to trust.

This partnership allows us to provide advanced procedures like TPLO, Patellar Luxation Repair, Soft Palate Resection, & Anal Sacculectomy amongst others in a convenient location for you and your pet.

At our hospital, we offer euthanasia services to provide compassionate support during difficult times. Our team will carefully consult with you regarding your pet's condition and guide you through the process with empathy and understanding. We collaborate with local crematory services to ensure appropriate aftercare for your beloved companion. Additionally, we extend housecall euthanasia services in select cases or work closely with local at-home euthanasia services to accommodate your preferences and needs.

We provide behavioral evaluations by our Fear Free® trained staff. On a case-by-case basis we will either work with you and your pet, refer to local Fear Free® trainers, or to local veterinary behaviorists to best help your pet.
