What recent reviews say

Most visits here leave owners relieved and grateful. Staff excel at emergency triage, explain next steps clearly, and show genuine care during frightening moments. They handle everything from toxin exposure to limb amputation to end-of-life support. One detailed complaint flagged a procedure delayed six hours during staff shortage, poor communication about the delay, and a high bill with modest reimbursement. Wait times and pricing come up occasionally, though many say the care is worth the cost.

Praised for
  • compassionate end-of-life care
  • clear communication and updates
  • skilled emergency diagnostics
  • caring and knowledgeable staff
  • walk-in availability for urgent needs
Watch-outs
  • delayed procedures during high-volume shifts
  • long wait times
  • high costs with limited transparency
  • lack of proactive notification about care changes

Best for: Pet owners needing urgent or emergency care outside regular vet hours, especially those with life-threatening presentations.

  • rapid diagnostic imaging and surgical capacity
  • dedicated end-of-life and palliative care
  • consistent staff recognition and rapport

Worth knowing

  • One case involved $4500 charge with $1300 reimbursement after delayed deobstipation
  • Staff perform on-site amputations and coordinate transfers to specialty hospitals like Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital
  • Will waive charges if no medical issue is found upon evaluation
  • Tech routinely evaluates patients in waiting area before doctor assessment

Common questions

Can I walk in without an appointment?
Yes. Animal Urgent Care is a walk-in clinic open 7 days a week for acute and emergency cases.
What happens if they find nothing is wrong with my pet?
At least one reviewer reported not being charged for a checkup when the animal was healthy and no treatment was needed.
Do they do surgery, or will they refer me elsewhere?
They perform emergency surgical procedures on-site (amputation, deobstipation, etc.). For complex cases, they coordinate transfers to specialty hospitals like Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital.
