Our dog Lady Bug was a patient here since we adopted her almost five years ago when she was 6 years old. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with two tumors and we knew we were on limited time with our girl. Dr. Seaton, the other veterinarians, and their entire staff provided the best of care for Lady Bug. We were so fortunate to have almost two extra years with her because the care she received. We have never had a single negative experience with Nelson Animal Hospital. We recently said goodbye to our pup. The entire team made an awful experience the best it could possibly be, and showed us empathy, care, concern, and professionalism every step of the way. We feel so fortunate to have had this organization with us as we cared for our dog. We will be back when we are ready for a dog again. Nothing but wonderful things to say about Nelson Animal Hospital.

They we're so caring and compassionate. My fur baby was sick for the first time ever and they were so gentle with her. She loved them and she doesn't always take two new people that well. It just seems like she knew they were going to try to make her feel better I was very pleased and I will be taking her back there for care in the future

They were super great with my dog. She was nervous but both the vet and the technician were gentle and handled her well. They did a great job explaining my dog’s health and the procedures in a way I could understand and feel confident about. I am happy we found them!

One of our dogs fell seriously ill with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis with signs of pancreatitis. I took him to the ER at the VRCC since he is a current patient of theirs, but the estimate was more than I could cover due to recent events that wiped out our emergency funds. They did what they could for him that night and the next day I called multiple vets I've been to including our regular vet. Unfortunately every location was booked out and our pup needed help. I was recommended to call Nelson Animal Hospital (NAH) by my wife. NAH was also booked out, but understood how sick our boy was and worked out trying him as a drop-off so he could be seen between appointments. He ended up needing antibiotics and three days of fluid treatments. The doctors and staff at NAH are amazing and truly care for their patients! If it was not for them our boy would not have made it very far. They have made new friends in us and we are grateful for how well they treated our pup.

I was told it would be anywhere from $800 to $900 to Spade my cat when my first female cat only costed me roughly $280 with her shots in Wyoming! Good job Colorado you're to expensive.
