Tender Touch Animal Hospital
Tender Touch earns consistent praise for attentive, low-pressure care. Vets and techs like Brianna, Toya, Dr. Barr, and Dr. Hedlin sit with nervous pets, offer kind words during difficult visits, and avoid pushing unnecessary treatment. The Baker clinic has a calm waiting room and handles end-of-life care with unusual gentleness. One recent reviewer flagged opaque estimates and high costs as a drawback tied to private equity ownership; most others call pricing reasonable or wonderful, though some long-term clients note it has become pricier over the years. Their website claims they offer wellness exams, dental cleanings, surgery, ultrasound, laboratory testing, spay and neuter, soft tissue surgery, and acupuncture. They hold AAHA accreditation and Cat Friendly Practice status. The hospital has served Denver since 1999 and draws families and longtime pet owners who return after moving away, trusting the team's restraint and skill even as costs have climbed.
