Preventive care

Dr. Palmini is a great veterinarian. He has helped all of our kids throughout the years without delay. He has ALWAYS been prompt in communicating all test reaults, from radiological, to blood and cardiology. He and his staff have saved each of our kids, especially when misdiagnosed by other veterinarians that others have reviewed as "higher caliber". My family and I will ALWAYS stand by Dr. Palmini and his staff as well as forever being grateful for everything they have done and continue to do for us.

Can’t. Say. Enough. Good. Things. Plain and simple: wonderful people and very reasonably priced. We have very large, very difficult dogs and the staff all work so well with our baby weirdos. They treat my animals with respect and look for simple solutions rather than pricey recommendations. Thank you Sano! We appreciate you!

Dr. Palmini and has tech Amy were amazing with my sick dog. They helped me find a treatment plan I could afford. I believe they truly care for animals and show genuine compassion for the animal’s humans. I will never go to another veterinarian moving forward. I literally cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Palomini and his staff are all AWESOME. I take all four of my animals there and have never had a poor experience. They are all very sweet and loving with the animals. I received concise, clear and professional advice about the most reasonable or best courses of action. I had one pup with a full TPLO surgery that went smashingly. I received very clear care instructions with consistent check ups from the office calling to see how she was. Another senior dog of mine had 26 teeth extracted with no issues. I would absolutely recommend SANO. Loving, friendly, safe and efficient!

They really care about you and your pets. I was lucky to find them and we make the drive from Aurora to Conifer because they are that good. They have seen 3 of my 4 current furbabies, and they helped me through the loss of one other furbaby. They did a spay on my Gypsy (with the red and gold blanket) and helped save my Sam (chocolate point) when he got really sick. Recently they removed 1950s bad teeth from my oldest cat (not shown) and he is doing fantastic!
