I have had occasion to use this service twice over the years. In both cases the need was…read moreextraordinary and very unusual. In both cases the services took hours to deliver and were related to extremely difficult to diagnose illnesses. In each case a different vet provided the care and diagnosis. In both cases a complete report was in the hands of the regular vet before they arrived for office hours in the morning accompanied by a one on one phone call between both vets. I believe my pet could not have received better care anywhere. If your pet requires after hours emergency care, in my opinion you will not find a better place to get that care than Valley Emergency Pet Care.

We were staying in Vail and on our third week when our 7 yr old cat started vomiting…read moreintermittently. He is on heart medication and we attributed the initial episodes to the meds. When he began vomitting clear liquid with pink late on Friday night, we were extremely concerned and wanted to get him to a vet ASAP for evaluation. Valley Emergency was the closest option. We called and they had us bring him in as soon as possible. We had his records transferred from our local vet out of state and Dr. Julie Cox was amazingly knowledgeable and kind. Assistant Cat was also great and very caring with our pet. Our fur baby was given oxygen and some anti nausea and ant-acid shots. Xrays revealed no blockages and blood work a little dark and he was dehydrated. We wanted the best care for him and being 1.5 hours away with a snowstorm in progress, we agreed it was best to leave him overnight to ensure nothing progressed further. He did well overnight and we picked him up the next day. He is much improved and no further vomiting. Dr. Cox was very knowledgeable regarding his heart condition and extremely careful and cautious regarding giving him fluid, due to duretics he is on. She reviewed all records and test results carefully and discussed them and his current behavior at lengthy with us to be sure she had the full picture. We are so grateful they were open and Dr. Cox and Cat were on staff to see our fur baby and give him the best care. We knew he would be well-monitored and given care and affection, so we knew he would be in good hands while he was briefly away from us.

Red Hill nearly killed my cat…read more The "care" at this facility sent my loved 13 year old cat to the V.R.C.C. Emergency Hospital, starving, malnourished, dehydrated, and hanging on by a thread. Here are the facts: - Red Hill never read my cats previous medical records. - They repeatedly dismissed our urgency to diagnose and treat our cat. - They took an entire month to run basic tests (I.e. bloodwork, fecal analysis, etc.) - They placed him on a strict diet for 8 weeks which HE WAS NOT EATING and ignored his severe weight loss. (He has always been healthy at around 10-11 lbs and was 7.95 when we got to the V.R.C.C. in Englewood.) And finally, - They claimed that "the lack of doing anything to help our cat is not negligence." I would recommend to anyone considering this facility or currently being seen at this facility, to run as fast and far away as humanly possible. This place is a disgrace to veterinary care, and it is astonishing that they are still allowed to practice medicine of any kind. 1 star was an obligation as a review cannot be posted without a rating. I also want to add that I have nothing to gain personally from posting this review. My only goal is to share our terrifying experience, so hopefully nobody else EVER has to endure what we did.

I had the misfortune of having to go to her office for quarantine paperwork and testing. At my first appt, the doctor left the premises right before my appt citing "an important errand" only to return 45 minutes later with beverages in her hand; she and her assistant had made a snack stop besides the errand, meanwhile I am waiting in my car for the appt to begin. She was unable to perform a simple procedure of scanning my dogs' original micro-chips and refused to acknowledge her faulty equipment therefore requiring that I put in new micro-chips. In subsequent visits to 3 different vets, all picked up the original micro-chips immediately. She also did not follow procedure during the appt by taking blood work first before scanning the micro-chips and confirming their identity and previous paperwork matched, so I was forced to continue with her because she had already charged for the blood work. When I heard one of the dogs screaming in the exam room and I asked if I could come back and hold him she said, "no, you may not". She made rude and negative comments to me throughout the whole process. She made me feel like the project was a nuisance and a huge bother for her, rather than her job. She acted overworked, bothered and disagreeable at every question or request I had. By the time I left, 4 hours later, I was glad to get my dogs out of there and never see her again. Except I did have to go back to get paper work that she wouldn't print out at the end of the appt because she was in a hurry to go home. Absolutely no bed-side manners!!

We just recently moved to Aspen. My dog had an emergency and needed to be rushed to the hospital…read more It was a pretty traumatic morning and the staff and Dr. Christina were so warm, welcoming, and accommodating to anything we needed. We took a taxi to the doctor as our car was frozen shut that morning! You are typically supposed to wait in your car due to Covid, but they put us in a private room with blankets as it was freezing outside. Dr. Christina followed up with me via text message and always answers my questions or concerns. She is very responsive and I'm truly thankful for every employee that was there that day to make me and Zeppelin feel better than what our morning started out to be. Thank you, again.

Turns out she was beyond repair when the Willits Vet Hospital offered switching up meds, further cost-effective tests, etc. Carbondale only offered a $600 procedure before would adjust meds or to allow my dog to pass on. Unfortunately, that's what happened. Agree with other reviews that practice is limited in expertise and is lacking in professionalism. Now, Carbondale is charging an additional office fee for all visits. I wasn't notified prior the $11.80 nail trim is now 3x because of an automatic 30-min visit charge (took 15 mins to pay over the phone, drop off and pick up the dog, and that's being generous). One thing to admit mistake because it's a new policy and didn't mention when booking, but they wouldn't refund when I asked. INSTEAD: Willits Vet Hospital is helpful and straightforward. Birth Tree Animal Hospital in GS uses natural options and is great with pets.

PET EUTHANASIA SERVICES…read more Several weeks ago we were faced with the terrible need to put my dog and best friend to sleep due to illness. After a long conversation with our regular vet we decided to do what was needed where Mac was most comfortable and relaxed in his home of over 13 years. He recommended a call to to CodaPet where relevant info was taken by a very professional and respectful front office person in Denver and told us we would receive a call back from the vet who would be performing the needed services. Shortly after we received a call from Dr. Alicia and we talked in the most sensitive way about our concerns and needs for our family member. The next day she came to our home at exactly the appointed time and we reviewed the plan and what we wanted. Her empathy for us was extraordinary while she did what was needed. Since the event she has communicated thoughts and feelings to us in writing following the whole experience. I don't wish anyone to have to go through this kind of experience but the services we received were more than we ever expected for our dog and his family. The process was professionally done from beginning to end with incredible empathy for all concerned. In fact we expressed our gratitude to Dr. Alecia for her gift to Mac and us. We as a family highly recommend CodaPet and their team of professionals.

We were a little concerned as this was a type of "Cold Call" and weren't sure what to expect. But after we arrived it was clear that CLK was represented accurately in its website and we felt great about leaving Loke at CLK. The outdoor play environment was perfect for Loki as he is a very active and athletic pooch. He obviously had friends and there was nearby human supervision and interaction. The indoor kennel area was clean and organized with heated floors for comfort. Loki seemed very happy when we found him upon our return. CLK may just be our "Go-To" boarding kennel for our future needs.
