Yes, We’re Open!
What You Need To Know
As each business in our community is responding differently to our state’s safer-at-home mandate, we recognize that it can be a bit confusing to keep track of what services are still available to you during this time.
We’ve also increased the number of appointment times available! Please call us at 720-279-9471 to schedule your pet’s appointment. Due to the high volume of rescheduled appointments being booked at this time, we are currently forward-booking for wellness exams. If your pet is past due for a visit or will be due soon, please call us sooner rather than later to schedule their appointment!
NOTE: We are still seeing all appointments on a curbside basis until further notice. We kindly ask that you wear a mask to your appointment and remain in your vehicle. Please park in one of six numbered curbside care parking spaces and text 303-732-8288 when you arrive.

These are uncertain times for everyone, but please remember that pets are not immune to injuries, parasites, and other communicable diseases during this time. Be sure to continue to keep your pets up-to-date on vaccines (especially rabies) and continue monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention to help keep them safe and healthy.
Walking your dog may be the bright spot of your day, especially when so many of us are sheltering in place. But remember: Spending time outdoors also means an increased exposure to parasites, which are more active this time of year!
If you aren’t sure whether you should bring your pet in to see us, please call us at 720-279-9471.

During this time, we are encouraging our clients to practice social distancing by purchasing your pet’s prescriptions, preventatives, and prescription diets from our online pharmacy. When you do, the purchase is automatically documented in your pet’s medical record, and the product’s guarantees stay intact. That’s not always the case when you buy online without a direct veterinary relationship at sites such as 1-800-PetMeds, Fosters & Smith, Chewy.com and the like.
Our VetSource online pharmacy works hand-in-paw with us to make sure your pet gets exactly the medications he or she needs, and with their convenient AutoShip option, shipping is FREE on all orders.
If you have questions about ordering medications, prescription diets, or other products, please don’t hesitate to call us at (303) 423-6021.
