Went in on Tuesday, November 5th, with my pup who’s eye was bulging out of place. I was attended to quickly (was actually the only person there for the entire 4ish hours i was there). The staff was amazing and the vet (whose name i failed to get) explained everything clearly and with empathy for both my emotional and fincancial situation. They worked hard to get his eye back in place and that helped avoid a more invasive surgery and a more hefty bill! Was still expensive but worth every cent since my baby is recovering well! He got the stitches out friday and my vet confirmed he has full vision in both eyes. They transferred information about the procedure to my vet so they were fully informed when I went in for the follow up appointment. Thank you very much for your hard work and passion for animals! pictures below show right after procedure and today!

My Baby Girl chihuahua ran away on 7/5 due to fireworks. Good Samaritan found her immobile on Exposition/Downing bright her here. She was able to walk by time reached vet but it was 2 hours till I got there. Thank goodness she was chipped! The team were calm and thorough as they told me the dog was actually 100 ok! They kept Baby peaceful and calmed me after I came in freaking out! Love to all! So blessed you opened 3 mo ago! Keep up the great work!pic is at the vet.

Pleasant and efficient reception. Excellent and caring treatment from vet and vet tech. My Malamute ingested some garbage from an old campsite she found. They ensured she didn't have an obstruction after she vomited several times. They also treated her with subcutaneous fluids and nausea medication. Anouk is back to normal today and I am so grateful.

DO NOT TRUST THEIR ADVICE ON URGENT CARE CASES.
I called them after my dog ingested a pound of dark chocolate 3 hours prior. I gave them my dogs weight, the exact amount chocolate, and the percentage of dark chocolate. The receptionist was clueless and the vet tech told me that it was too late to make her throw up and the only thing I could do was watch her for signs of a seizure. TWO hours later my dog started dry heaving so I called the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Denver. They ran the same calculations and told me to bring her in immediately. They induced vomiting and a substantial amount came out. She had ingested fatally toxic levels so they kept her overnight due to heart palpitations. VEG said that if she didn’t throw up what she did, it would have been so much worse. I STRONGLY recommend VEG, the staff is knowledgeable and kind.

WHEAT RIDGE ANIMAL HOSPITAL TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING. They are a JOKE

My pup was injured and I wasn't sure whether to bring her in. Gave them a call, emailed them photos of her injury as requested, and received a call from the on-site veterinarian minutes later. Fortunately, they said her injury looked ok and that they didn't think she needed emergency care (advised to bring her in if she had signs of infection). I was so appreciative of their prompt and honest response that I wanted to share this experience. Fingers crossed my pup never needs emergency care, but if she does, I'll be bringing her here.

I brought my senior dog in due to a large lump that had suddenly developed. I called them while driving in, and my dog and I were seen promptly. The staff were friendly and customer-centric. Evaluation of my dog's condition involved multiple steps and precautions, and the vet and vet tech communicated clearly at each step of the process. The cost was reasonable, and the vet followed up the next day with pathology results and recommended next steps. She also sent the pathology report to our main vet practice. I'd definitely go again and would recommend this vet urgent care to other pet parents!

Tried to call on 9/20 around 8PM. The person that answered the phone was so unhelpful, unprofessional, and combative that there is zero chance I would bring my pet to this place. If this is who they hire to answer the phone, I can't imagine what it is like after actually arriving. I had a few simple questions to determine if I should dose my dog with trazadone before arriving. I also simply wanted to know who the vet on staff was. Neither could be answered after spending 15 minutes on the phone. I finally give up the convo and decided to take business elsewhere.

We were seen immediately. Each person we encountered was friendly, communicative, and thoughtful. Everything was explained to us in detail with excellent recommendations of how to move forward. Financially - everything was upfront, inexpensive, and honest.
