They were great! You can tell the staff here really do love the animals brought in. They took good care of our new pup and had a puppy gift bag. I will be continuing to bring my pretty Penny here.

Always feel welcome. Our pets are always attending to with calm caring treatments. I don't mind driving from N. Longmont to get this exceptional experience.

Edited to add: the vet chased a preconceived notion of what was happening to my dog. I completely understood their diagnostics and expected her to actually investigate what was happening to my dog. When I had to come back because she had it wrong, they tried to charge for another office visit. The front desk readily removed that charge. Unfortunately this place still hasn't changed. I took my dog in and they were chasing a non existent foxtail up his nose. I'm paraphrasing - "they were looking for one because they felt that it was common." They put my dog under light sedation to put the scope back in his nose to see what was going on. They completely missed the fact he actually has a large tumor up there. I told them his symptoms which are the most common for nasal cancer. They said - "eh, a little inflammation", and the Dr thought the nonexistent foxtail was working it's way out of his system. So they put him on antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. I bring him back about 2 weeks later because it's worse. I told them about a small puncture he had there and that it wasn't a fox tail. Then they find an oronasal fistula but still missed the fact there was a tumor, which most likely caused what they found. They did a scope, X-rays, and other dental photos during these two visits. And they tried charging me for another office visit the second time. LOL. Never again. It was that bad. When confronted, they deflect and justify.

One of my dogs was seen at this vet twice (should have only been once). First, the receptionist did not remember or even write down my information, because whenever I called, she would always forget. Second, I asked for the vet who saw my dog (Murphy) to call me, so that we could get on the same page regarding my dog’s needs. The vet never called me. Not sure if the vet was busy, or the receptionist forgot (again). Also, I’m not a vet and don’t claim to know everything, but I do know that heart worm is a pretty serious sickness when contracted by a dog. I don’t understand why the vet would option a heart worm test and treatment.
