Preventive care

I’ve been going to Bakers Bridge vet for over 10 years. The staff is amazing. They are very knowledgeable, patient and wonderful with my pups. My dogs love it there! They take care of my furry family members like it’s part of their family as well.

Our favorite vet in all of Durango!! We have been taking all our cats and dogs here for over 10 years. Very reasonably priced and they do not push unnecessary tests and procedures. Very friendly staff. We just love Bakers Bridge and we send all our friends and family here.

Soooo happy and relieved!! Dr. Haley Hamilton did a fantastic job with our kitty, Zbear. Zbear has, unfortunately, needed to get the majority of her teeth removed over the past few years due to stomatitis. Yesterday was Zbear's 4th time she's had to have oral surgery done to deal with this chronic and painful issue. I made sure to let Dr. Hamilton know that our kitty is very sensitive to the effects of anesthesia and some of the post-surgery pain meds from her past surgeries. Dr. Hamilton modified Zbear's plan of care perfectly! Out of the 4 times Zbear has had to have teeth extractions done, this is the *first time* she hasn't been incredibly sick and loopy after the fact! She was a bit groggy and off-her-game when we first got home yesterday evening (to be expected), but she came out of it within a couple of hours!! I am beyond excited about this! After her past surgeries, she's been really off and freaked out for days afterwards. Today, she has been sunbathing and eating well and taking baths. She's doing great! Thank you so much, Dr. Hamilton!! :) (Plus, now Zbear can get back to skijoring, which she takes very seriously 😸)

We have been taking our dog here for over a year and have had the most amazing, consistent care. The thing I appreciate most is that they take the time to answer all your questions and make sure you and your dog are comfortable. Our lab normally hates going to the vet but because of their patience, she has opened up to them…probably because she knows she is safe which, as a dog mom, makes me so happy. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust.
