I have used CSU exotics emergency several times over the years and have been pleased with the care…read moremy rabbits have received. This last visit was no different. The team in charge of my rabbits care were exceptional - knowledgeable, communicative, helpful. However, I have noticed pricing has gone up substantially, especially for "companion" rabbits. As any rabbit person knows, a bonded pair should not be separated if at all possible. My rabbit was brought in initially by himself and hospitalized for a few days before I was able to bring his bonded friend. The staff all commented on how much happier, calmer and overall better my ill rabbit seemed with his friend with him. What I was charged for the "companion" rabbit was astonishing. $2,500 for less than 48 hours. A rabbit who stayed in the same enclosure as my ill rabbit and was healthy. Did not need any medical treatment or intervention. I wanted to write this review so that others who may be in the same situation with a bonded pair are prepared for the cost. My total bill for my ill rabbit was very high, but I can more easily justify it based on the care he was receiving. My "companion" rabbits bill - I am extremely disappointed about. Especially since this is a teaching veterinary school, I fear it is teaching future veterinarians to overcharge which could potentially limit owners from being able to afford taking their animals to receive the care they need.

I cannot express how deeply disappointed and heartbroken I am over my experience at CSU Veterinary…read moreTeaching Hospital. I brought my dog, Lupo, there during a medical emergency while we were traveling from North Carolina, and what followed was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. We were already in a state of panic, far from home, trying to make the best decisions we could. Despite that, there was a profound lack of communication, compassion, and transparency throughout his care. We were never offered the option to stay in any rooms, just to rest for a little. Being 45 minutes away while our dog was critically ill created unnecessary distance during the most important moments of his life. The most devastating part is that we were only contacted when things had already taken a severe turn, and that call was not a supportive update, but a frantic, high-pressure conversation where I felt like I was being almost yelled at that he needed to be euthanized immediately. There was no sense of guidance, no compassion just urgency without support. We were not called earlier as he declined, and we were not given a real opportunity to come and be with him in time. Because of this, I lost the chance to have any meaningful final moments with my dog. By the time we were involved, he had been intubated. That was not what I wanted unless it was absolutely necessary as a life-saving measure, and it ultimately robbed me of being able to hold him, comfort him, or say goodbye in a way that had any meaning. That is something I will carry with me forever. When we last saw him, he was placed all the way at the bottom of a cage. It felt impersonal and distressing given how critical his condition was. There was no sense that comfort or dignity in his final moments was being prioritized. To make matters worse, a necropsy (autopsy) was performed without our explicit consent. This was incredibly upsetting and felt like a violation during an already devastating time. The lack of clear communication and consent around something so significant is completely unacceptable. After his passing, the handling of his remains and the lack of communication continued to cause harm. Because of delays and inability to reach anyone, his body was not released to the memorial service we had chosen in time for us to receive his ashes before our flight home. We were forced to extend our stay, rebook flights, and incur additional expenses... all while grieving the loss of our baby. I understand this is a teaching hospital and that not every case has a positive outcome. But communication, compassion, and respect for both the patient and their family should never be optional. At no point did I feel supported, informed, or prioritized as his owner. Lupo was my world. He deserved better. And no family should have to go through what we experienced here. There was no compassion in here. There was only a severe urgency to give us a large bill.

Our beloved 80 lb lab mix has started having massive black poops the 2 nd if which was up in Estes park at 4 pm Friday. We called 4 seasons and were advised to bring Chloe in. When we arrived at the scrupulously clean facility, we were greeted by the office staff who had already begun paperwork based on our phone conversation. The vet saw Chloe immediately and came out to give us preliminary report on vitals along with recommendation for next steps. The vet tech followed with cost estimates. After conclusion of those tests, the vet came out again to tell us results of blood work and's xrays and to let us know fecal labs vwouldn't be back till Tuesday. She gave us diagnosis of colitis, and recommended meds and post visit instructions. Check out was seamless, and final visit was about 10% less than the low estimate. Three days later our dog is recovered. A very pleasant experience for an emergency vet office. High marks to all!

Waiting for the appointment to begin, I did find it somewhat off-putting to have to listen to the front desk staff discuss personal or non-business related issues. This seems to be a common issue though with many businesses these days, both retail and medical.

Kerry M. was our vet and she walked us through every step, educated us, was patient, and was so kind to Iverson and us. I had to cancel the first appointment because I was not ready to say goodbye. They offer a cancellation window up to 4 hours before your appointment and allow you to carry over your deposit to when you reschedule, with no extra fee. So thankful for this understanding. The cost may feel steep, but the in-home service is so so worth it. Iverson had his last meal while the pain meds were administered. It was a distraction where he didn't even notice. He felt safe and comfortable in his home, surrounded by family and on his favorite couch. He was then given a sedation medicine where he drifted into a nap on my chest. When the final medicine was given, he felt no pain as he crossed the rainbow bridge. I have heard horror stories from other in home service companies. I had 3 friends use Caring Pathways and that is why we went with them. I am so grateful and thankful that we chose to work with Caring Pathways. It helps with acceptance and closure and provides a peaceful passing. I will forever recommend them to other family and friends who need to say goodbye to a family pet member.

Julie is so great with our little dogs, who have been treated roughly by other vets. We had an emergency visit yesterday after one of our dogs had a severe reaction to a vaccine, went into anaphylactic shock, and almost died (I won't go into details). When we rushed her to the vet (luckily was very close) they scooped her right up and brought her back to the vet. They took immediate action to get her set up on an IV and probably saved her life. A most traumatic day for us, but it was so great to know that we are in good hands with Platte Valley Vet. Our experiences here have been so good, although they have fairly few. The doctor listens to us when we have concerns about our dogs and she is kind with us and our dogs. It is obvious that they care about their patients here. The prices have always been reasonable and it doesn't seem they are interested in gouging animal owners on what can be very expensive costs, especially in crisis situations. Thank you Platte Valley Vet! We hope to keep coming here for many years!!

It's only a YEAR later that I'm getting around to writing this review, and the experience with this company still makes me tear up, with gratitude! As a first-time client, I had some special requests, like keeping my dog's body for a few days while I finalized ideas for memorabilia. They honored my wishes with such grace and compassion. When I needed an urn, they went above and beyond, showing me their inventory so I could select the perfect one, as each wood option was uniquely cut and meaningful. Their attention to detail and genuine care for my situation made such a difference. Despite my attempts to give them a cash tip as a thank-you, they kindly refused and asked that I leave a review instead. So here it is (a YEAR later): Caring Pathways offers incredible service with a truly compassionate touch. I can't recommend them enough.
