Colorado Veterinary Specialists Review

Very caring and professional and even gave a followup call.
Thank you

Awesome, knowledgeable staff and doctors! All of the docs explained everything so I could understand and were willing to answer a multitude of questions from me. So grateful to them!!

One of the worst experiences ever... we took our cat there after a scratch on his paw became infected and was extremely swollen. We waited almost an hour before the technician came and took our cat into the back. The vet was able to clean the infection but then tried to make us buy almost $500 of different medications. We decided to just go with the pain meds and cone that would hold him over for the night. The technician made it seem like it was a life or death situation that the cone stay on his neck for the night. The cone is so cheaply made and wouldn't fit around our cats neck because any time we put it on he could just pull it off with his paw. After an hour of us struggling at 1 am we finally gave up. The next day when we took him to the vet she said it was probably best he didn't wear the cone and none of the medicines were necessary. Extremely frustrating to be so ripped off and frustrating at the lack of help they provided.

Awesome people. They came in Sunday AM to do emergency surgery on my dog.

Our 13-year-old golden sliced open her paw on a downspout while hunting voles in our backyard. The staff took excellent care of her. Because of COVID we had to say good-by in the parking lot, but the staff communicated before and after her stitches.

They got my dog baya in immediately on a Sunday for a large open wound on her side. The staff was great! A doctor came out very quickly to take a look and assured me everything would be okay. She ended up with quite a lot of sutures and surgery but they fixed her up. I m glad they were there for me and everyone was amazing. I can t thank them enough!! I live 1.5 hours south but will definitely recommend them if your in Denver area.

Very quality care, Dr Hess took time to explain her answers to my questions. The office was extremely clean. This was just a our 1st office visit & I would recommend Dr Hess to anyone needing a specialist.

Wow! Super efficient and above the rest in co stand updates and communication throughout my time with my pup in the ER. The doctor explained everything so thoroughly and took her time to make sure I understood everything. She never made me feel like I was just an in and out patient and taking my money. I was super happy about the time that was taken to communicate all. Everyone I spoke with and met was so kind. I thought their prices were much more affordable than some ERs. Hope another ER visit isn t in the future but if so I recommend this place.

The Vet explained everything going on with our sick cat in great detail and made us feel confident in his treatment and recovery process.

I took my 19 month old Belgian Sheepdog puppy in with a high temp on a Saturday night (of course! they seldom get sick during normal hours during the week!). The clinic was very busy even at that late hour, but he was kept stable until diagnostic tests could be run. This young dog had pneumonia, etiology never fully determined. He was dangerously ill, and they provided both healing and supportive measures until he was able to come home 3 days later. When I took him back in a week later for further diagnostic tests, he was thrilled to be there and trotted happily off to greet his new friends. They obviously did more than just treat him physically....he loves their great staff! I certainly hope I've no more after hours emergencies, but if I do, I'll be taking my dogs to Colorado Vet Specialists. They also have a great Repro Specialist whom my Terv is also very fond of!

Overall experience was good. 5 stars for the vet, Dr Fox and the vet tech who came out to the car to talk with me, take my dog/drop her back off with me. Knocking down a star for what I perceived to be a rude reaction by the person who answered the phones and took my information.

My dog had a sudden issue last Thursday, and we couldn t be seen by our vet until Monday. Our vet recommended an emergency vet clinic. When I called, they were so busy they recommended I take her to CVSG instead so she could be seen sooner.

I called to confirm the check in/appointment process for their location before deciding to drive the 20 minutes to their office. I headed that way and arrived within a half hour of talking to my vet. I parked and called the posted number on the sign, indicating who I was and what spot I was parked in.

I was talking with the same person as before. There was a long pause so I asked what additional information she needed from me to get my dog seen. She replied back somewhat curtly that she was about to get to asking me for that information.

I m sure she had a long day, and I m sure she is over dealing with pet owners who are in crisis mode worried about their pets. My biggest issue the entire experience was dealing with her. I shouldn t have to prompt the person to get more info from me. I fully recognize I was upset to begin with, but after my positive interactions with the vet tech and Dr Fox, I m inclined to think I picked up things as they were.

Overall, I m thankful for the care and as much info as they were able to provide for my dog. She needed to see a specialist which they didn t have, so they made a referral for us. Dr Fox s discharge notes were excellent!

Thanks guys, Echo developed delivery problems at end of pregnancy and you guys performed a c-section and saved her and our pups. Was a long night and expensive, but nobody died, great outcome. Thank You!

Vet Tech, Devon, (not sure of the spelling) was cordial and professional. She assessed our situation quickly and determined the level of the urgent care we required.

Dr. Greg Hermann examined our dog. He did a complete examination, gave us a diagnosis and explained our option.

We were very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend this CVS.

Everyone was amazing. Our precious 9 year old Pomeranian needed them and they loved her like we do. She is doing so good!

To start, I have a 3 year old Border Collie, Heeler, Australian Shepherd mix. I took him on vacation with me to Florida for three weeks. When we returned home on a Tuesday, I found a small cut on his face which I figured he had received from my 2 year old niece who adored him and loved giving him hugs. I had an appointment scheduled the following Tuesday, but during the next four days, I slowly began to find that he was covered in scabs from his scalp down to his tail and down the back of his thighs. On Sunday, he ended up ripping open the wound on his face so I decided to take him in after work. I called my normal veterinary clinic, but they were unavailable to they recommended this place.

I arrived around 7:30am to be quickly placed into a room. All of the lights were off, the floors were filthy, and I was left waiting for almost an hour. I was advised later that an emergency had come in just after I had arrived, but it is still frustrating that I could hear multiple technicians just socializing in the back instead of at least updating me on my place in line or just preparing him to be seen by the veterinarian.

Finally, a tech came and got my dog to shave and clean his wound. Soon after, the veterinarian came in to advise me of her diagnosis; a sunburn. I had been doing a bit of research while sitting in the room, and I advised her that I did not agree with the diagnosis. I advised her that it actually may be a reaction to a deshedding treatment that he had done twice. He is very sensitive and I had not been advised by the groomer that it was a shampoo that was left in for 10 minutes. Also, he was never outside for more than 20 minutes at a time, he has incredibly thick fur, and he was not showing any other signs of sunburn (pink, sensitive to the touch skin, etc). Her main response to everything I said was, Well, Florida is closer to the equator and it s humid. I was very tired and not willing to continue arguing, so I was given a week s worth of antibiotics and a cone. (Which, due to the location of the wound, the cone only made it bleed more. So, I put him in a scarf/neck wrap instead **photo**).

Two days later, his condition was not improving so I stopped by my normal veterinarian and she agreed with me that it was not a sunburn. I was given more antibiotics and a medicated shampoo. Almost instantly his condition began to improve. Overall, the trip to this emergency veterinarian was pointless. Now I m down about $700 when I should have just waited and went to my veterinarian in the first place.

The only positive part of the experience was that my dog was very fond of the veterinarian, which is incredibly rare for him. But, I will never be going back.

I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!! They have been so amazing every time we've had to go in, which is quite a few times. We have 4 dogs and 2 out of the 4 are a bit accident prone. Staff has ALWAYS been courteous, and understanding. I would recommend this hospital to everyone.
Thank you CVSG for saving our fur babies! <3

Helpful and friendly staff who care about the animals they see.

The staff at Colorado Veterinary Specialists & Animal ER were very helpful and kind in a stressful situation. We had a puppy that was born 63 hours (it's true) after her litter mates. We took her in to the emergency because she was extreemly small and weak from not being able to nurse correctly. The staff showed us how to tube feed the puppy to give her a chance to catch up to her siblings. 5 days later, she is doing well. Thank you so much for your caring support!! ~Deanna

These Guys are epic. Receptionist with a super ego and Rat's nest hairt. The diagnosis is inaccurate ( had a second opinion from Southern Colorado internal medicine). their instruments are not properly calibrated to blood tests.
Don't go their just a big Money machine to get your credit card charged faster than light and your are easily $1K out of pocket for a useless diagnosis.This happens when greed supersedes veterinary compassion and care

The receptionists and technicians we worked with here were extremely rude and unhelpful. My Berner was in labor, having puppies and needing attention fast and it took them over an hour just to check us in. Another hour and they were finally checking her to see if her puppies were okay. They were short tempered and rude when I asked if I could go back and be with my girl who was stressed out and in pain, and wouldn t even allow me to talk to the doctor about the situation. They mentioned to me later that she seemed rather upset when they brought her to the back without me and made her wait for 2 hours. I had to call them after another hour just to see how things were going. A visit that could have taken an hour ended up being almost a four hour trip. The puppy that we needed help for died because it took them so long.

However, I was happy with the doctor, I believe Dr. Hermun, who ended up helping us. He explained our options well and was very kind, and took off an x-ray charge that we had not given them permission to do. Overall it was a horrible experience and not our first unpleasant trip with this vet.

Fabulous staff and Doctors. Mazie received great care. Though you have to pay upfront what ever the minimum amount is of the estimate that they give you. Mazies care was almost $$$$ and there are no payment plans that I was offered or made aware about.

We took our dog after visiting two other facilities that fell way short. The folks here were passionate about caring for pets. Our dog was near death and they saved his life. We are very appreciative and want to thank them a lot.

Knowledgeable, friendly people. Very accommodating for our ER situation. Definitely will return and reccomend their services!

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. My dog was sick this week, where we took him to another vet initially. They were going to do a bunch of xrays, but we decided to start out with some medicine and go from there. Unfortunately the next day early in the am he was much worse. This was the only place open nearby. The vet tech within 10 min of looking at my boy knew it was bad and ran him back to the vet. Unfortunately with a simple ultra sound we learned this sickness was going to take his life. I just want to say thanks to the vet tech and the doctor who were so caring through this terrible news and explained everything so thoroughly, even though I blacked out and I don t remember much. We had to put my doggy down then, and even though it was the worst thing I ve ever done, the staff was amazing through it all. So I hate this place because this is where I said goodbye to my dog, but I love this place because they were so amazing with me and my Timmy. Thank you.

Good experience, wait time was long and I had to wait in a small patient room with my 5 month old puppy for more than 1 hour. Overall got what we needed to get done. Vet was nice and took her time going over the xrays.

Performed a left leg amputation on my fur baby after she got hit by a car. They are open 24/7 which makes life easy for us humans.... a lot of facilities are open certain days and times and it makes it very inconvient to have to transfer. They are very caring, compassionate and know what they are doing. Dr. Lewis did an amazing job! I definitely recommend her and the facility!

I totally trust them to provide safe and knowledgeable care for my dogs. I've been going to them as part of my breeding practice for about 8 years.

I can t say enough great things about Colorado Veterinary Specialist! Their entire staff is very professional and so unbelievably nice. They took great care of our 13 year old senior dog Cooper when he had to have a fairly invasive procedure done. We are very thankful for them! Without them and their highly trained staff we would maybe not have our beloved Cooper around today! Truly can t say say anything but great things about them and our experience!

We (my dog and I) got a thorough exam and then a thorough update, as well as an estimate of future charges. I would recommend Dr. Lewis. I only wish that I could have been present during our dog's exam as she's in a high level of pain. However, I'm sure there are protocols.

They are always helpful and super friendly. Nothing is worse than bringing in your beloved pet for any small or big issues, but the staff here makes it a little more bareable by being so sweet!

Wow. Great staff. They saw our pup on a Saturday when we couldn't get in to see our regular vet. They cleaned up a minor wound and gave us peace of mind for only the cost of supplies. Highly recommend!!

The staff at the Animal ER has always taken good care of my animals and me. I've used them for emergency services and end-of-life care my dogs over the past 20 years. Today they helped me say goodbye to a very dear friend. I couldn't have asked for a better sad experience. Thank you Sam, Dee and Dr. Earhart!

We had a great experience! I brought my cat in, who was having trouble urinating, and they wasted no time getting him into the facility to test him for a potentially life threatening ailment. They were quick to diagnose him, start us off with a treatment plan and they were incredibly friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I could tell they were doing everything they could to make sure my cat was comfortable and whenever I called with a question, they were quick and happy to help. I'm blown away with the service and I'm sure my cat is happy to be feeling better!

I have taken my cats here in the past with great service. Most recently I brought in my 80lb Pyrenese. We were seen right away. The staff was friendly, helpful, understanding, and professional. They explained everything to me. I was given more information than her regular vet had. I really appreciated them being there.

The doctors have great bedside manners. I trust and appreciate the great care given to two of my St. Bernard's during different late night visits. This is my go to place for after hour emergency care.

My dog ripped accidentally out 3 of his nails. After going to a different ER vet over the weekend, we saw Dr. Hall yesterday, and she took such wonderful, tender care of my boy. He still has a long road to being fully healed, but he is a million times better, happier, and healthier today after seeing CVSC. We ll be returning to them for his future care during this injury. We re so grateful to all of the folks there.

With the exception of the receptionist (maybe it was bad day for her) the day we were there, everyone was great to work with. They really care about treating your pet the best that they can.

Everyone there is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. They welcome questions and want you to understand what is going to happen with my dog.

Talk about a clean, friendly, & professional group from Gabriella & Brandy out front to Becky the RN & the internist Dr. Davis. All were wonderful to me and especially to my pup. Thank you all!

Thanks for litle oliver care ...our warrior puppy !!

The veterinary staff is one of best in this ar and they are great with their patients

So Professional!! I had to wait 30 minutes each segment: From phone call, to initial diagnosis, to vet care, to post-care counseling!...My puppy was very sick, and within 2 hours, he was on the road to recovery!!!!

This was our first experience with a vet ER service and we were very happy with the organization and professionalism of CVSA. Our dog didn t have an obvious diagnosis based on her symptoms and they did a physical exam and took care of some minor (possibly unrelated) issues at the same time. All in all it put our minds at ease and the bill was less than we expected.

Dr McFarren, the vet techs (Jessica, etc) and the weekend docs who cared for our GSP were all very professional, reassuring yet honest, up front, and attentive. Our Dog is recovering well from a big surgery. Thank you so much! I think you surely saved his life and he has several more years in him to hunt pheasant!

The doctor and staff was very thoughtful and caring. They were knowledgeable and took their time in taking care our puppy.

Our sweet baby had the end of his life here today. It was very, very difficult. But I want to extend my deepest thanks to the staff here for how they handled things and treated us. Especially the doctor, who explained everything to us and what to expect, and who allowed us to embrace our boy as he left us. The whole staff was very compassionate towards us, and I appreciate them also allowing our other family dog to be present. I feel comfort in knowing Zeke left us surrounded by family, in comfort, and being cared for. These decisions are heartbreaking and we appreciate the compassion we were shown.

BEWARE! Horrible. As other reviewers have said: Don't come here unless you like 2+ hour LONG WAITS just to be misdiagnosed. Waited 2 hours just to have the vet spend 1 minute with me, then misdiagnosed. Waited another hour for discharge papers. Returned because of misdiagnosis next day, waited 2 hours, when I complained I was told "well this is an ER, what do you expect?" Can't tell if they're severely understaffed or if they have a high-turnover of vets finding more reputable places to work at.

Got my dog in right away. The tech gave me an estimate of the cost of tests they wanted to run. Went home with meds and my dog was greatly improved in two days. I received a follow up call today to see how my dog was doing. I highly recommend this animal ER.

Love the staff here. Took care of my dog until the very end.

Everyone here is polite and loves animals. I m so grateful to the vets, who figured out that my dog s pain was due to a broken tooth. My dog is now back to his happy self!

This place really let's you know it's a business more than anything else. Was referred here unfortunately and experienced an extremely disappointing visit. First off the vet that referred me had sent some X-rays over and they claimed they didn't receive them and wanted to charge me 200 to do some more. Then eventually they apparently do receive them after 30 mins and Tell me that those X-rays don't work because they need "different angles" aka $$$. Then they tell me if they do end up doing the "surgery" on my dog that 1. It could move again even if they do it 2. Charge me more $$$ for MORE X-rays to make sure they did their job right. Ended up not doing any of the bs which was around 700 and my dog is completely fine with the help of a 20$ splint . They want your money, that's what these vets are about.

They tried to falsely accuse me of animal abuse when 30 witnesses to prove i wasnt home at the time of the abuse i was at my doctors office when it happened these people are liers who care only about the money that lines there pockets

Do not ever take your animal here, and trust them in a time of emergency. My dog had non stop vomiting, diarrhea, and extreme stomach pain. I took him in after normal business hours due to the recommendation of my vet to seek immediate care. My vet said to tell the animal ER to test for pancreatitis, as this can be fatal if not treated in a timely manner and with the correct medications.

I ended up waiting 4 1/2 hours to hear any sort of information of what was going on with my dog. They told me it was a few minute wait, and they would be with my dog shortly. They took him in, and made me wait in my car due COVID-19. They NEVER called me to update me on his condition, and I had to call in multiple times for them to say "He's next to be seen". 4 1/2 hours later, it was only when I asked them to bring my dog out to take to another animal ER did they decide that my dog's care was "urgent" enough to be examined next. Their conclusion: he was constipated. They ignored all the treatment I asked them to do, and the recommendations of my vet.

My dog kept getting worse and worse, and I took him into my primary vet once they reopened. They stated he had a bad case of pancreatitis, and all the medications that the animal ER put my dog on were incorrect, and changed his medication immediately. They stated a simple blood test could have been done at the animal ER to test for pancreatitis which they failed to do.

I called in to make a formal complaint. It took someone almost a week to even get back to me. They then stated they would be in touch with me after the holiday weekend which they never did. I had to reach out once again to see if any follow up had been done. Even though they COMPLETELY missed the diagnoses for my dog's care despite recommendations and communication from myself and the vet, they offered NO sort of refund for putting him on all of the wrong medications which could have been fatal if I didn't take him back to my vet.

DO NOT EVER GO HERE OR TAKE YOUR ANIMAL AT A TIME OF EMERGENCY AND TRUST THEM WITH THEIR CARE. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMENCED THIS ANIMAL ER TO ANYONE.

Our ER and Repro Vet of choice. Withing 10 minutes of home, quick and easy to get to. The receptionists are always very friendly and helpful. When ever we need testing or procedures done they are there and available, even if it is 2am, the weekend or holidays, like New Years Day. We have a great rapport with the staff!!

Knowledgeable, courteous, kind to my animal, and informative. BEST VET!

Had to take our little dog , Rebound to CVSG because he ate red grapes last night. Everything was great as usual until it came time to leave Rebound overnight for observation. The contract said if my estimate is between $1200-$1400 then a $1200 deposit is required. I had $1104 on my CareCredit card and asked the tech if that would be ok for tonight and then I will find the additional amount tomorrow and I was told yes , they would not make an issue over $96 dollars. At the front desk , Alesha was rude and unprofessional and told me at first that I had to pay the high end of the estimate. When I told her the contract I signed said I had to pay a deposit of $1200. Alesha said that is not the case and I'm confused.i said I'm not confused and I'm reading your contact. This continued until I asked for a supervisor and Alesha laughed at me. I then asked for someone above her that had decision making ability and she became furious and told me she is the receptionist and she is in charge. I asked he to call a supervisor and Alesha said she wasn't going to call for something like this. Alesha went to the back where the doctors were and belittled me by saying I'm confused and not listening to her. A vet tech came out and started to say something similar to what Alesha said and I showed her what their contact read and showed it to her.and read it out loud to her. She said yeah it's confusing but and then started to walk towards the back when Alesha walked to the front of the customer counted and said , "You come here and be quiet and listen to me". I told her I don't know who in the hell you think you are but you will not talk to me that way. The doctor came out that seen Rebound and I explained to her what Alesha had said and that Im college educated with a degree and I'm not confused. The contract says this but she wants a full payment for the full amount ( said 1 time ) or the lower end (said 2 times ). The $96 dollars was not discussed because Alesha wanted different amounts. The doctor then changed the estimate of the contract from 2 days to day to day so no deposit was required. Once this was done , Alesha became even more furious , stomped by me nearly missing contact with my shoulder and continued to the back area. Its one thing to be unprofessional , but to call someone confused not once but twice and then tell them to take their pet to another provider then to top it off , try to talk to me like a child and or a dog , "Come over here and be quiet and listen to me". Alesha needs classes on how to be professional and conflict resolution. This is not the type of person a business wants meeting and dealing with people in sensitive and delicate situations. If it wasn't for prior experience with CVSG , I would have taken Rebound to another place. If you have to go to CVSG , which I fully recommend , try to avoid after hours or just be prepared to deal with Alesha the receptionist.

The drive-up ER service was excellent and handled with all precautions. Vet was informative as were the assistants. There is no way to judge the completeness of examination or treatment, but expect it was thorough. The new facility is lovely and convenient location.

Everyone here was incredibly caring an understanding. The prices were absolutely reasonable. They even refunded some of our money when things went better than expected! Afterwards, they did wellness calls, not once but twice! We really appreciate everything they do. We hope we don't have to see them again, but if needed, this is absolutely the place to go.

I brought my cat in for emergency services and I would absolutely recommend them to anybody. Excellent staff, knowledge, care, and communication.

When we discovered our possibly pregnant Siberian Husky had eaten a cooked T-bone while camping we were concerned... when she started vomiting bile repeatedly and choking we rushed her to the emergency vet around 9:30pm on a Sunday night. I called on the way and was greeted by a wonderful and caring receptionist who spoke directly with the medical staff to get the most accurate info while I was on the phone. We arrived and face to face she was just as incredible and helpful. Our visit with the medical assistant and vet where equally incredible... All is good Luna is great and confirmed pregnant, the chewed bones happily well into her colon and making an exit on their own. The visit ended up costing $429... we expected it would be between $4-500, we were pleased it was on the lower end. The charges included 2 meds, xrays and the appt charge. We had a happy outcome and a great experience. I would strongly recommend this clinic for emergency care!

Wonderful place, very friendly and helpful staff. They took great care of my puppy.

Wanted us to hospitalize our dog immediately. Jumped straight to scaring us with every possible thing that could be wrong with her.

Absolutely amazing! Brought our pooch in and were terrified he wasn't going to survive through the night. Turns out he has congenital kidney disease (he's only 3). They kept him 3 nights to monitor him and get him back to his normal self. We were really hoping it was an acute case so it definitely wasn't the news we wanted to hear. Every single Dr. and staff member was extremely caring, helpful and great with all the animals. They called every morning as promised with updates and explained everything they could see before referring us to an internist. Have to keep a close eye on him but now we know what to look for and what to feed him. A+++++

The rehab facilities are too notch and Cynthia is not only a talented rehab professional she really cares about the dog she is treating. Dr Wright gave us an thorough assessment and we are looking forward to our 9yr old lab getting her strength in her leg back.

Such quick, efficient care was taken of my dog when I brought him in last week in the evening. The staff (all of them) were caring, kind and knowledgable. I never doubted my sweet pup was in the best hands.

Didn t listen to anything said, talked over me & MISSED my cat s ear drum bursting. Will never return & will pass along this TERRIBLE vet care to everyone I know. Don t go here if you have a cat!!!

This emergency clinic was a savior during a snowy Sunday when our pup decided to cut his paw. The vet was very prompt and very thorough and I felt totally comfortable the whole time we were there. this isn't our typical vet but if anything changes with that this is one of the first places I will think of.

We took in our 10 week old GSD when he refused to get up and cried in pain from being touched. The entire staff was just simply amazing with him. They got him diagnosed and feeling like his puppy self very quickly. Also they are researching more into his diagnosis so that we feel confident in his treatment. They took the time to answer my very long list of questions without ever making me feel rushed. I honestly can t praise them enough. They are all so wonderful.

Listened thoughtfully about my cat's issues. Examined thoroughly. Offered 2 options of treatment. Friendly people. Wish bill wasn't so high, but I guess that's just how emergency treatment is.

The staff here are amazing!! They always make me feel like they truly care about my Dog. The prices are fair and honest. Love this place!

The staff and the doctor were very knowledgeable and caring. They took excellent care of our dog and the cost was much less than I expected

My dog had a couple of seizures after hitting her head getting off a couch - she isn t prone to them and doesn t have a neurological issue as far as we know. I was terrified. Everyone here was so comforting and realistic. The doctor (I wish I could remember her name) let me know all my options, but mentioned that since my dog was so old it might not be necessary to try every avenue to find the cause of the seizures.

I was so embarrassed because I was so emotional but they didn t even seem to notice. Even while I was waiting for my dog I saw how good they were with all the other animals.

I will say, the bill is pretty steep. But, I thought the price was worth the reassurance I now feel that my dog is safe. I was so scared, and they really helped calm my fears. I m glad I had them to help me.

For dog reproduction assistance, Milan Hess is the best.

Everyone was kind, thorough and informative. Our cat stayed for a small surgery on an abscess on his face. They did a wonderful job with him and the cost was very reasonable. We highly recommend them. They were amazing!

Having never been with a pet to an animal ER I had no idea what to expect other than I wanted the best possible for my sweet boy. I found the staff and physicians at CVS very compassionate and quick to treat when I arrived. Unfortunately, the outcome was not what we had anticipated but due to the frank and honest discussions with Dr. Wigley we had to make decisions that were life changing but the best for our beloved dogs. ( I had 2 visits 4 months apart) Every person at CVS enveloped us with love, patience, and understanding during a very stressful time. I can't imagine wearing their shoes for a single day .. but I can say that I never felt misinformed or ignored while at the ER. Dog ownership is a wonderful thing unfortunately there are times where life throws a curve ball you just never expect. The kind and capable members of the team at CVS made the pain tolerable with their care and compassion. I am grateful this clinic was open when we most needed help. (24 hours) We all have to make choices, and I am grateful my neighbor also highly recommended CVS as she too had an older dog who was treated with tender loving care. So please keep their number in your phone because you just never know when a pet emergency will confront you.

Our dog swallowed a chew toy. They were great. They gave us a very detailed explanation and solved the problem. Fair price for emergency vet services.

We got a call from our breeder in AZ that they needed to get a "deposit" from our male golden right away. CO Vet Specialists were able to get us in last minute and was able to send it right away.

They were very professional and we will be using them again in the future.
Thanks Samantha!

We are so thankful for the wonderful care our pooch received at CVS. After we received hard news, each staff member we encountered couldn't have been more compassionate and empathetic about our situation. Dr. Carolina was extremely knowledgable and kind and took the time to discuss all options. We would highly recommend!

How can a vet clinic (ER) turn away a pup that could be dying? That is what happened to my wife and her pup of 9 years. I'm in the military and out on training and my wife's dog got super sick. She took the dog who now can't walk, lift his head or hold any food or water down. But due to know having money at the minute to pay for the visit this ER told us they couldn't help us. I think it is sad that people whom "care" for animals so much, how they can send a family pet home to die over money.

Dr. Lewis is wonderful. Thorough, informative, patient, most and most importantly, was so sweet to my dog.

The only place I will go for emergency vet! Dr. Russell is so wonderful and the rest of the staff are so helpful and friendly. They really care about your pet.

Took very good care of our cat Bandit for congestion of the lungs. Be prepared to spend time there as they are very busy and the day we were there they had three emergencies. Very concerned and caring.

The staff here is amazing. This was the first time coming here and I'm so happy we did. The staff acted quickly and with care. They communicate very well and are upfront about costs. They also weren't as expensive as the one other ER Vet I've taken my dog to. Thank you so much for taking care of my Heidi and getting her on the track to feeling better.

Best place in town!
Doctor Hess is always there to help with whatever questions I got

I have brought two of my labs here for wound care and abdominal issues. Each of my experiences here I was met with kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend taking a pet here for emergencies!

Absolutely amazing service. My little girl Marley had a tick and they removed it with ease. She is feeling better and loves life again. Thanks :)

They did all the could. The surgeon that helps us came in on her day off to be with us at the end. Thank you to the hole staff for all the compassion and advice. You guys made us very comfortable threw out this very hard time.
