Freyja, my Great Dane doggo, has had her heart checked yearly for the last couple of years. She loves to visit and gets treated better than I do. Dr Dixon was very helpful in answering my questions an raved over Freyja, going above and beyond in working with my baby. Great place and great folks!

The news came, our little girl had a heart issue; Nana, a rescue, survived parvo with her brother from the pound we adopted them from. PetCardia was our answer. From the initial call to the first appointment, we were given the highest quality of care for our baby. Dr. Amy Dixon-Jimenez educated us, giving the pros and cons of the procedure Nana would require. She and her staff prepared and assured us throughout the entire process. It has been two years, and Nana continues to shine! She enjoys life playing with her other fur family. And we are blessed to have her in our lives. Each time we visit, the staff acknowledges Nana with her name on a sign, welcomes her back, and greets her, letting her know her life is a priority. I don’t remember every name, yet we have to share how grateful we are to have found PetCardia, from the front desk to Morgan, especially Dr. Amy Dixon-Jimenez. What a fantastic staff! And with a humbled heart, thank you! I know Nana and her brother(s) do too.

As always CVCA and all the employees are wonderful!! I have a Sphynx cat that has heart issues and he is now 9 years old all because Dr Dixon has taken care of him since his heart murmur was detected by my veterinarian over 7 years ago! He's happy, loving, social and my pride and joy. I am convinced that he is thriving all due to the staff at CVCA.💖💖

It was hard for me to tell who was more nervous on our trip to CVCA, me or Maxine our dog. We had been referred there for a heart murmur. We were immediately put at ease on entering the facility. A warm greeting was enhanced by seeing Maxine’s name on a white board in reception directing us where to check in. The entire staff was great. Their friendly approach and patience while explaining what was going to take place was focused on communication. Dr LaFauci was fantastic as she explained what we were looking at during the echo cardio imaging. The good news was that while there are some issues non of them are earth shaking. If you are looking for a caring veterinary setting with great communication skills CVCA Wheat Ridge is the place to go.

Everyone was amazing! We were here for our first consultation/ check in. My dog is seen at Wheatridge in their oncology appointment and was diagnosed with DCM while receiving chemo treatments and had scheduled both appointments on the same day since we live pretty far to lessen the back and forth. Our appointment was running a little behind but both teams were helpful and tag teamed to ensure the CVCA team were able to get their tests done to share my results with me. I was probably more nervous than my dog but Morgan, GiAnna, Dr. Dixon were all so helpful and thorough! Thank you for a great first experience! Hoping for a good update when we return in 6 months!
