    Cottonwood Veterinary Hospital - This was my baby girl hours after leaving cottonwood, hours after Dr. Hoest said my baby was okay.

    Dr Hoest and her staff have taken care of our aging Great Dane with prompt care and concern for a…read morefew years now, and we know she's in good hands. The dedication to animals and doing fine work shown here is simply amazing, and my Danes knows she's going to feel better after she sees Dr. Hoest and her staff.

    I took my baby girl here on April 30th, she was extremely lethargic, very very shallow breathing,…read morenot eating, not drinking ( it had been 4 days since she had either) she had blood in her poop, drooling. We had took her in and told them EVERYTHING! She was very sick, they told us they'd start with X-rays to make she didn't have a blockage. 6 hours later, we went to go get her. All the told us was they gave her anti nausea medicine, sent her home with different food and said "there was no blockage she's okay." They also said they took her outside and she "perked right up." "She hasn't thrown up at all while here" our baby girl proceeded to gag as soon as we got in the car. Progressively got worse since the moment she left. 2 days later she died. We took her to a second vet the next day after cottonwood, where they proceed to check her right away and said she's EXTREMELY dehydrated, and couldn't believe cottonwood didn't give her an IV, AFTER KNOWING SHE HADN'T EATEN OR DRANK IN DAYS. Amigo vet gave her IVs, tested her for parvo (negative) amigo told us she was extremely sick. My baby bled out of her but. She was extremely sick going into cottonwood, and they neglected our baby girl. 2 days after her passing, I talked to her doctor in person Dr. Hoest. I had asked her why they didn't give piper an IV. She quite literally SHRUGGED her shoulders. Continued to tell us, they checked if she was dehydrated, said she was. Were we told that when picking her up from there. NO, I was not. We were told nothing else but that she didn't have a blockage, THEY SAID SHE WAS OKAY. Whatever you do, don't take your baby here. Take them somewhere people actually care, Dr. Hoest chooses which clients she would like to GENUINELY care for. Yea it's cheaper here, but is it really worth the risk? Dr. Hoest neglected my dog, didn't do her job they way she should have. do NOT bring your pets here!

    I have an elderly dog whose tumor on her leg broke through the skin and was growing outside of it…read more I was on my annual road trip, and very concerned about my friend's safety and well being. I found Sky Canyon and I have to say, was impressed from the beginning. The receptionist was on point with professionalism and empathy. We had an appointment almost immediately, and was seen by one of the veterinarians. She was likewise on point with her professionalism and empathy. Sadie was evaluated and given pain meds and antibiotics. We ultimately scheduled a surgery to have the tumor de-bulked and her skin closed back up. Given the difficulty of the surgery, they waited for their lead veterinarian to do the procedure. When I brought her in, I didn't even have to ask him to look at her first. There had been concerns expressed about being able to close the skin without a graft. I was concerned about that, given her age (nearly 15) and creating more complications. He approached us as we arrived and wanted to taker a look to make sure he could help us. He evaluated her and decided he could help. As a matter of fact, he was even able to close the wound without the need for a skin graft. I had her back the same day after a successful surgery. That was about a month ago. We are now back home and her wound has healed nicely. She is much happier and more comfortable, and needless to say, I have a great deal more peace of mind about her health. If you have need of a veterinarian, whether you live in Grand Junction or are just visiting like me, I cannot recommend these people highly enough. The whole experience from intake to discharge made a very emotionally trying situation a lot more bearable. If Sadie could, she would concur. Thank you to the whole staff at Sky Canyon. We are back to enjoying our best life together, thanks to you.

I was provided a box to bury him in, and they made a paw print casting for me to take home. They even sent us a lovely sympathy card signed by all the staff. We've been using Dr Terlouw for over a decade and can highly recommend his office for all your pet-family medical needs.

    On Presidents day Feb 16,2026 had an appt with vet to discuss my cat Sarah.She had been there 2…read moreweeks.Dr Terlou assured me he wasn't too busy and would provide a stress free place to help with her virus. The visit was very short as he said he had a surgery. If he would have taken the time I would have told him I'm taking the time to move her to ER place.AS DR disconnected her breathing machine. I noted he didn't have her on fluid therapy. After telling me she is not drinking. But no talk about follow up. I made sure to tell him I have money. He quickly leaves. Almost right away vet tech who wears dark glasses cuts in front of me and quickly grabs Sarah who quietly sat at back of cage and was mean to her to get her worked so that now I can't visit her without hissing and scratching.I did nothing because I was so shocked. I'm thinking Who does this? In front of me. I planned to get her a second opinion and to the ER place..Where is her boundaries? So unethical.She caused harm to my cat. The Dr knows I;m sure.Because soon after she arrived and was given eye drops for conjunctivitis he wasn't;t receptive to other ideas to help her. As time went on he never said take Sarah somewhere else.. No reason vet tech was so aggressive. This is considered an assault. None of this.I did look around corner and witnessed what she did.NEVER will forget it. She hurt my cat.....All the white this done in a hurry. This visit was not to do a euthanasia. But she was forceful...Not even any talk.I'm numb..NO COMPASSION.....It took a while to tame her when I found her as a stray and now by the vet tech;s actions I have to start over again. If these people care about cats why would they not let her get a second opinion? This behavior by them shocked a few others. They killed my 3 year calico cat. Who received a shot. And I;m charged $500. I can't give any more details as its too painful. They just wanted to kill my cat and not treat her.Or give me second opinion. I had to stop now.There is a little more.........
