This is a wonderful place! The people that work or volunteer are amazing. This is a very difficult job you see such sadness a lot of the time. The joy when a forgotten animal gets a new forever home makes up for the sadness. They have state of the art facilities that offer so much to the public. There are two operating rooms, one to do dental work on cats or dogs. The other for spay or neuter for dogs or cats, as well as other surgeries, that you're welcome to watch! I've watched them grow and it's a joy to see what they do and to know it's growing all the time! These people are Heroes! Save an animal from being alone, they will adore you forever. Thank you for your time

Horrible experience, was told my sweet 6 year old Golden “might have cancer”, I was called back within 24 hours and told she did not and that their lab machine was off, went back for scheduled surgical consult, then told she did have cancer and, “it was bad”. A ton of prescriptions thrown at her that made her miserable, I was judged for being selective about which drugs I wanted to give her and I know what meds were making her miserable with urinary retention, and diarrhea. Then got a call from the Vet accusing me of trying to get a “controlled substance” filled with a prescription I was given for an antibiotic, Took the prescription to King Soopers, who told me they didn’t have the Vet in their system? Took the same prescription to CVS and got the antibiotic no problem. The roller coaster ride has been pure hell, imagine why I don’t trust what they say? They can’t even agree on a cancer diagnosis on my 6 year old Golden baby. I’m going to take her 2 hours away to her regular Vet who has loved her for 6 years, was just far away from where I live now. I Would not recommend you use this place, unless you want to be on this roller coaster of emotions like me, and being judged for doing what you think is best for your fur baby. Gross incompetence and lack of caring. What I choose to treat her with is working well with managing her symptoms and pain. Again, getting a third opinion with a Vet I trust, crying inconsolably is getting old, but getting treated this way makes it worse.

I came here expecting discounted vet services. The initial visit was on $45. Im on DNAP and Medicade... and needed discounted services. Unfortunately.. The costs of everything here is the same everywhere in Denver. I was told it was going to $190 for an xray and a UA. They did not send in the UA. I only did the Xray. And would not remove the extra costs from the bill. I was told they wanted to treat the bladder stones with a prescription diet. But they didn't give me the prescription. I had to return and ask multiple times for the prescription. Not a discount..more like a bait and switch service. DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU HAVR NO OTHER CHOICE. *** Response to your Comments. Dear Vet Hospital Staff. I had to come back and ask for my prescriptions twice. Your staff did not provide me with prescriptions. - even though I was told, in my appointment, that they would. I had to pay, leave, and review your documents in my car; then I had to come back and ask for my prescriptions twice for the dog food. The first prescription that was provided to me when I asked, listed a wet dog food that didn't even exist. The second one was only provided to me when I pointed out the first dog didn't exist. I stand by my thoughts and opinions of my experience at your clinic. This place is horrible... and I would NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

My FurBaby Luthor recently got a toe amputation here at the Dumb Friends League Pet Hospital. They took care of him as if he was their own. We were so blessed to have had an amazing medical staff. Thank you!

I cannot thank the team at the Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital enough for the incredible care they gave my dachshund, Daisy, during her recent dental procedure. From the moment we arrived, we felt reassured by their kindness and professionalism. Daisy needed dental extractions, and the compassion and attention she received throughout the process meant the world to us. The care they provided was not only exceptional but also affordable—far more reasonable than other places we explored. But what truly stood out was how deeply they cared. The day after Daisy’s procedure, a nurse called to check in and answer all our questions, making sure we felt supported every step of the way. We are so grateful for their thoughtful and dedicated service. Daisy received the best possible care, and we can’t express how much we appreciate their efforts to make this experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for treating Daisy like your own!
