Can I bring my anxious dog here?

Yes. Staff are experienced with nervous animals and take time to help them settle during exams; reviewers specifically praise their gentle, slow approach.

Should I get a second opinion on dental recommendations?

At least one owner reported receiving an expensive dental recommendation (full extraction of teeth) that a second veterinarian found unnecessary. Getting a second opinion before costly procedures is wise.

What recent reviews say

Most visits feel calm and caring, with staff who take time to explain procedures and work with nervous animals. But some owners report being pressured into expensive dental work that a second opinion proved unnecessary, raising concerns about whether all recommendations truly serve the pet's health.

Recent shift: One recent one-star review (posted a month ago) about an aggressive dental upselling incident stands out against the otherwise consistent five-star pattern, but may signal either a one-off lapse or a systemic issue with how dental recommendations are made.

Vetco Total Care

4.0(350)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Dr. Aiko and several technicians (especially Yairis) earn strong praise for attentiveness, clear communication, and genuine care during appointments. Yet the clinic is hampered by systemic problems: unexplained waits, rushed treatment recommendations before the vet sees the pet, missed prescription refills, and a defensive management style that blocks follow-up questions. One reviewer had to drive to multiple locations after being misquoted on pricing; another waited 40+ minutes and received a $500+ diagnosis before any in-person exam. Staff turnover appears frequent, and after-hours follow-up is unreliable. Low-cost positioning is real (vaccines and exams are cheaper than alternatives nearby), but cost savings can evaporate when mistakes force repeat visits. The experience hinges heavily on which vet and technician you see; Dr. Aiko and Yairis inspire confidence, while office management (particularly Jenn) is consistently described as dismissive, combative, and unhelpful when problems arise.

Arvada Veterinary Hospital

4.6(506)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Staff greet you warmly and appointments run without rush. Reviewers repeatedly praise Dr. Todd Smith and Dr. Crane for getting down with nervous pets, explaining diagnosis in detail, and showing genuine care. Same-day emergency slots appear standard, and pricing is transparent with no pressure for unnecessary tests. The clinic handles routine wellness, surgery, dental work, and end-of-life care. Readers mention relief over fair costs and relief over having a vet who listens. A handful note the clinic's small but capable space. Rescue adoptions, senior pets, and reactive dogs all get the same patient attention.

Legacy Veterinary Clinic

4.5(379)✓ Verified

Over a decade of loyal clients credit the clinic with solving complex cases others had missed, backed by in-house ultrasound and blood work that deliver answers fast. Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz earned trust through patience with anxious animals and sophisticated care of elderly pets; one long-term customer describes the culture of compassion as top-down from leadership. Some reviewers note the cost reflects the depth of equipment and expertise, though a handful report billing surprises and frustration with slow-moving surgical recommendations when speed mattered.
