What recent reviews say

Pet owners consistently report feeling heard and seeing their anxious dogs relax during visits. Staff greet animals by name, sit on the floor, offer treats, and call back days later to check in. Parking is tight and visit costs have climbed toward $95 for routine appointments. One early adopter noted service has drifted since opening, with higher turnover and less attention to detail, though experiences remain positive overall.

Recent shift: One long-term customer (4-month review) noted a shift from the clinic's original promise: new insurance plans cover less, staff turnover has increased, pricing jumped to ~$100 per visit, and attention to detail has slipped, though care quality remains positive.

Five Points Animal Hospital

5.0(65)✓ Verified

Dr. Dooley and Dr. Nelson earn repeat visits through calm, thorough exams and willingness to listen without overselling treatment. Surgery outcomes impress (TPLO procedures, mass removal), and families return for vaccinations, urgent infections, and ongoing care at prices noticeably below competitors. Staff call ahead with updates, explain diagnostics and estimates in detail, and fit dogs in same-day when needed. One owner noted techs occasionally seemed frustrated by hyperactive pets, but this is isolated against 30 reviews of uniformly warm, professional interactions.

Livewell Animal Hospital of RiNo

4.9(168)✓ Verified

Most reviewers encounter attentive, knowledgeable vets who explain care thoroughly and remember details between visits. Dr. Kramer, Dr. Hoppe, and techs like Camryn, Olga, and Kevin stand out for compassionate handling of anxious or reactive pets, with several noting surgical recovery updates and feeling genuinely welcomed. Two phone experiences with receptionist Isabella soured otherwise enthusiastic switchers; one surgical patient reports an eyelid growth was dismissed as cosmetic and left untreated, causing later corneal damage. Pricing is called fair by most, though one reviewer felt services were tacked on to inflate bills.

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

4.8(834)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visits feel personal and unhurried. Staff know pet names, give updates during surgery, and work hard to keep nervous animals at ease. But when emergencies or test results come up, communication breaks down: promised callbacks don't happen for weeks, and bills sometimes include surprise emergency charges not mentioned at booking. The clinic charges more than many local alternatives and enforces strict cancellation policies ($85-$89 for no-shows). Several reviewers felt blindsided by these fees and the price gap. For routine care and urgent walk-ins where you can be seen quickly, the experience is strong. For complex cases requiring follow-up, plan for slower responses.
