I am so grateful! They kept our dog overnight and under observation for 2 nights and he was much improved! We brought him home the next day to see how he would do... once his regular vet saw him again, she allowed us to reduce some of the heavy meds & keep one important anti-seizure going forward..our 'Buddy' is back to himself this week after 10 full days of worry! We absolutely recommend this team of professional vets and techs!

Recently, she threw up blood on our evening walk and I called the clinic panicked. They gave us a thorough review of all our options without pressuring us for a full exam.. which is quite expensive.. The vet and techs gave her an injection to suppress vomiting as well as a medication to coat her stomach. She's also quite a picky eater so the team there gave us a few cans of plain food. It's been a few days now and she is back to 100%, normal poops and appetite. No throw ups. I'm so grateful for their guidance and availability. I think the quick response to suppress the vomiting and coat her stomach really helped her heal and prevent any further issues. Thank you to the staff and team! my pup really appreciates it

Doctor Park and Doctor Nikki H were the two with us most of the time and they would make sure we had a nice comfortable room, snacks, coffee and even coloring books and pencils for my toddler. They certainly could've done their job and we'd have been satisfied, however their passion for care of (any) animal clearly showed in how much effort they put in to our visit. You'd have thought we were their only patient in the office! And when you have to take your pet to an ER you're already on edge and stressed and they did everything in their power to help ease ours. I highly highly recommend and if we ever do need emergency care, this is the place we will be - and I recommend the same for everyone else. Thanks so much!

We came to Wheat Ridge ER when our dog hadn't eaten for 3-4 days. We didn't know what was wrong…read more They ended up keeping her overnight so they can do an ultrasound. Based on her bloodwork, her liver enzymes were heavily elevated. We had her there for about 2 days then got her because we were waiting on lab results and we knew we wanted her at home after a few days. Although it was a pricey visit. She was well taken care of. We still don't know why she didn't want to eat or anything not by the fault of the hospital or anything. Our dog is just a mystery. We had a follow up and liver enzymes had decreased which was a good sign. Our dog is still with us but not sure for how much longer since she is a senior dog who still refuses to eat her kidney food. But we are doing what we can but we are happy with the way our dog was treated here. Everyone was very nice and attentive and answered all of our questions.

The vets and techs immediately began to help and diagnose, which included a clear treatment plan, and eventually surgery, all of which were necessary to save our dog. Dr. Thaeder, Dr, Martic, Dr. Schultz, Alexis, Sam, Becca, Kim, (and several others I'm undoubtedly forgetting) saved our dog in the most impressive, transparent, and compassionate way that I never knew existed. We witnessed every step of the process to diagnose and restore our dog's health. If you want to stay all night with your pet, you can. If you want to watch their x-rays, they have a window for that. If your pet needs an operation, you can observe that from a window if you want. If you need a private room, there are several. Apart from the deep knowledge and passion these vets clearly have, they treated our dog like a member of their own family and he clearly fell in love with them. He's already getting back to his ornery self each day, and we are so grateful!

He became very ill very fast. I found him in a bad state when I came home from work, and I ran him to VEG. The staff was immediate to begin care for him. They were loving, caring and attentive. This all occurred just after I found out about an urgent family emergency that happened out of state. My heart and mind were racing. VEG did everything they could to help my tiny friend. They kept him overnight and did everything they could to save him. I cannot say enough about the level of care, professionalism, empathy and sincere compassion they had during this very awful time. I still have not been able to go back there to thank them in person. I don't even have the proper words to express my gratitude for their care.

The first tech that checked me in was very friendly but her shift was ending and other staff took…read moreover. The doctor was nice and explored what my cat would need at their facility as we had to transfer from the other Animal Urgent Care in Park Hill due to him needing hospitalization. The vet tech that came into to give the estimate was very rude and condescending. I was trying to figure out if my cat needed everything during the hospital stay because it's so expensive and I can go get some of the care at an extensively lower cost or free at the shelter I work at. She was so rude and was speaking to me like I was dumb when I asked about what each item was for and if it was needed; she was pretty much like well it wouldn't be on here if he didn't need it. They also made it seem like it would be "cheaper" and it was just as expensive as the original estimate. I had to walk away because I was so upset when I let her know her she was being condescending as she disregarded my feelings and said she wasn't using and sort of "tone". She also had made the comment "well does that mean there is going to be an issue paying the deposit". It's just so rude that I'm just trying to see if everything is needed and insinuating that I have a problem with paying. My boyfriend took over the rest and when he tried to look at her name tag she had taken it off. I get it's 2am but it's so disheartening to be treated that way, if you don't like your job or know how to be kind maybe don't work there. Totally opposite service and care that I received at the Park Hill location. I would not recommend this location due to its treatment from that staff, it felt very cruel. I will finish my care there because it was 2am and I didn't want to worry about driving around with my cat having just gotten an enema and needing more, but I will not be going back there after this visit. Update from 9/28 Walking in the next morning was a completely different experience. The front desk woman was so kind (I think her name started with a "S" or "C") and helped bring my spirits up from the previous experience. The discharge tech (different staff) was so kind, caring, and supportive. I could tell she genuinely cared about my kitty and expressed how happy she was to be able to meet and take care of him. She took her time to answer our questions and get us discharged. She and the desk supported me redeeming my view of this office. I appreciate the turn around and care and hope this the general experience for most.

They explained everything with great compassion, allowing us to make an informed decision about our dog's care. Unfortunately, her time is very near. Every person we talked to at Animal Urgent Care (AUC) was kind and caring. Losing a pet is a pain like no other. They are a part of your life and family. We know they can't be with us forever, but when their time does come, it's a blessing to be surrounded by people like those at AUC. This is actually the second pet we've taken in. Our kitty Popcorn was put down there last year. Now that the day is approaching with our Lexi, I can't imagine taking her anywhere else for her final moments. Not only are the doctors, techs, and desk staff awesome, but the services are also very reasonably priced, considering they offer emergency surgery, blood work, and ultrasounds. We highly recommend Animal Urgent Care North and feel blessed to have them in the community. One more thing: they get busy! They do a great job managing the many dogs and cats coming in. If you find yourself waiting for what feels like an unbearable amount of time, remember that someone else may be there with a pet in critical condition, and the staff is working hard to save its life. Be grateful your pet isn't as high on the priority list.

Our nurse was Courtney and she was AMAZING!! Tynkerbell licked her and let her pet her, which she never does. Courtney's kind demeanor and very obvious compassion allowed my anxious, traumatized dog to trust her which means so much to me. Courtney also explained the whole process to me; she understood our situation and took the time and patience with Tynkerbell that she needs. Her friendliness and calmness made me feel assured that my dog was in great hands under their care- which is not something I feel often!! We were treated by Dr. Brandon Reynolds who was also very friendly and informative! He explained everything in great detail, and I felt confident that he would be able to find the right course of treatment for Tynkerbell. I would highly recommend him. Overall, I would recommend this clinic to anybody looking for quality emergency care. The staff was beyond helpful, caring and just wonderful. The clinic was very clean and tidy. There was no wait time, we were put in a room immediately! They made my dog feel comfortable, which is something she rarely feels around strangers and new places. Huge shout-out to Courtney! :) A big thank you also to Dr. Reynolds and the rest of the support staff for being mindful of my dog's special needs and putting me at ease!
