I have been using this clinic for 11 years. They are amazing. I foster for a couple of local shelters. The staff has been amazing at always getting my pups in, whether mine or a foster. I love this clinic, I drive an extra 40 minutes but they are worth it. I have never had a negative interaction in 11 years. I own 3 dogs on average. read more

Their negligence killed my first dog by saying he didn't have a blockage but an infection and a week later when things weren't doing better they gave him surgery and left him alone in the night. He had a stroke and died the next day. My other dog was sick and not eating and they said she had a tumor in her neck that needed to be removed. A second opinion said it was a swollen lymph node and gave her proper medication to help her and she is thriving. I strongly suggest going somewhere else read more

I took my kitten there to have him examined after falling from a decent height and he was limping. No x-rays were done, just a physical exam. I made it very clear he was limping, yet the vet claimed he had no breaks or dislocations, without doing any testing. I told them he was extremely scared. They claimed they were unable to calm him down. Likely, due to the fact that there was no care to be calm and have a lower volume when near him. I watched one of the staff members slam his carrier into the wall while he was in it, and yell into the backroom to verify something, all while he was trying to hide under the blanket in his carrier. When he was home, his paw got worse. We were given no care or follow-up instructions. When I called to get that info and to speak with the vet since now this kitten was not putting any weight on his paw, the extremely unprofessional receptionist denied it was possible that the vet did a sub-par job. She ignored my concerns about the care given and used the explanation of "we have people coming in from Utah to see him, so, this isn't the case". She then told me to go elsewhere. I asked to speak to someone in charge, she told me to talk to the manager, then hung up on me without providing any info on the manager. When I called back, someone else answered (she was sweet) and transferred me to the manager, I left a voicemail. I took my kitten to a different vet in town, and they were great. Very calming, compassionate, had a special kitty room, and provided him with a towel to hide in, which he loved and it relaxed him. My kitten has a broken hand. Imagine that. He's now in a splint so he can heal. Arrowhead is useless if they're busy. They take too many people and they rush through clients, especially cats. This is the second time Dr. Mike has been dismissive of our cats. He's fine with our dog, but doesn't seem to give a crap about the cats. This is extremely disappointing, and very much not okay. My kitten didn't deserve this. Didn't deserve to be in pain for longer than he should've been. It's not okay. And I don't deserve to be charged for care that wasn't even done. Do your job, care about all animals. Or be a dog-only vet. **Edit/update**: received a call from the vet. He tried to tell me he told me about the xray (which he did not bc i didn't see him or speak to him after one call when he said he didn't do an xray). He tried to convince me he did a "courtesy xray" after him and I spoke on the phone (so which is it? When we spoke or after we spoke?). Said that the new vet "must've gotten a different angle to be able to see it better" (how many angles are there for that type of break?). He said, he didn't feel anything indicating a break, (yet the new vet felt it after barely touching it.) Not a single person at that office said he chose to do an xray after all, and there's no record of it on any document. My invoice said nothing about an xray that was later comped and there's no record of said courtesy x-ray in the medical file sent to the new vet office. The story doesn't add up, at all. So that's what he does. Rather than admit he failed to provide care and apologize, he spins the story. And very poorly, if I may add. He tried to convince me something happened that didn't and has no accountability for his actions. I'm now questioning EVERYTHING he's ever claimed to have done for our babies. Every "diagnosis", every care plan, every test. Don't trust this vet. This level of poor care, is incredible. Also, the manager never called me back. Take your pets elsewhere. read more

Sad second opinion cost my baby life walk in on leash carried out to ER after botched procedure. Mike never in clinic. Arrowhead gone down since Corporate bought them out. My dog had wellness checkup, nail trim and anal gland expression 2 days prior to his death. My heart ripped. Why my dogs did not get to see same Vet I used for 17 years no clue. This should have never happen. All change since Corporate taken over. read more

See all

The staff at Arrowhead are great. They provide excellent care while respecting costs. They ran only a few minutes late. Excellent communication, especially from Dr. Mercier. My one (!!!! BIG !!!!!) complaint is that the rooms are terrifying to the animals. All concrete floors, ceiling, and walls, steel table. Sounds echoed off of everything and from the hall. My normally easy-going, hard-to-scare dog was panic stricken the entire visit. I cannot imagine leaving my pet there for surgery or overnight. Because of this, I think I might have to look for a different place, as much as I love the staff. I wish they would attain a "Fear Free Vet Certificate". My last vet had it and our dog loved going there. They had a short couch for the staff, owner, and dog to sit on, along with a lower bed for smaller animals. A rug or soft mat on the floor. Curtains and pictures on the walls to absorb sounds. https://fearfreepets.com/fear-free-certification-overview/#1532109384264-705c8ce5-2632 Thankfully, when I mentioned this to the wonderful vet, Dr. Mercier, she offered to examine my dog next time in our car. Thank you, and I will do this, but it would really be better to spend a little money to "fear free" at least one room. read more

Dr Mike is awesome. He is caring and kind. My entire family uses him as or pets Dr. This man has always been available when we have had emergencies or concern. read more

I'm very impressed with Dr. Mike and his staff. I've taken my dog in for a couple of years now, and Dr. Mike is always gentle with her and does a thorough examination for her yearly check-ups. The amazing thing that's happened recently is that my cat, who was feral and gets easily traumatized by humans (except my husband and me), started having a horrible cough. I called the clinic, expecting that I'd have to take her in, but Dr. Mike offered to look at a video of her during her coughing spell. When he saw the video, he suggested that we try an asthma medicine to 'diagnose by treatment'. Our cat improved immediately with the medicine. I had been terribly anxious about trying to transport her to the clinic, knowing how traumatized she would be. I can't thank Dr. Mike enough for his common sense approach to her treatment. read more

We moved to Colorado 6 years ago and we heard word of mouth about Arrowhead. We met Dr. Mike and he met our fur babies. We have had several close calls with our Angel crossing over the rainbow bridge. Just last week our little Angel was very ill. Both Dr. Mike, Dr. Schmidt, & the staff demonstrated compassion, strength, and faith. Angel with great care is now walking, barking, and filling our heart with love. We can't begin to THANK them for the dedication and caring vet care. Thanks to you we have Angel just a little bit longer and she has a good quality. Thanks for not giving up on her.....Angel says "Ruff, Ruff, Ruff" 3.11.2020 read more

Absolutely the most caring and wonderful veterinarians on the planet! Their staff are just as kind and thoughtful.

I have been bringing my furkids to Dr Bingham for as long as he's been in Fruita. The dedication, expertise and compassion, in my opinion, are unmatched in the valley. I always recommend the medical and support staff here. I do not live nearby but will not go elsewhere. Dr Bingham is a straight shooter. You will hear the truth from him after he assesses the situation. Then it's up to you. I love this place. read more

A good veterinarian to me is one that I can trust as an owner, cares about the welfare of the animals and not about how much they can take in by running countless, sometimes unnecessary tests. Dr Mike and Dr Paul are both amazing veterinarians with caring and compassion for their patients and owners. The full staff here is amazing as well, If it's an emergency they will make sure to get you in. Can't say enough about the honesty and generosity of this clinic, so lucky to have found them when we moved to GJ. Our dogs actually like going in for an appointment. They are the best of the best! read more

Dr. Bingham has treated our animals like his own. The staff has been amazing and I've never had to wait. Their rates I feel are lower than most in the valley. read more

Feel obligated to speak the truth about our horrible experience with Arrowhead. Took in our beloved female dog one day and 2 days later brought her ashes home in a little box, unbelievable heartbreak after being told by the Vet that "no problem, hundreds of these cases with good results etc etc etc". Wish we didn't pay them, but we were in shock and in disbelief. Please be aware and be sure to "shop around" with all the other Veterinarians in the valley. There are many good caring and responsible ones. Still heartbroken over our loss. read more

I absolutely love this place! Dr. Mike is the only person I trust with my animals! He is so patient with them and gives them lots of love.

Same story, same outcome. Took in our healthy young dog for a nail trim. Internal injuries, dead the next day. Our family is heartbroken and the vet "has no answers ", really? read more

My mother takes her rabbits to Dr. Bingham and has always received amazing service caring and compassion! I first took my boys there when I had found one not using his back legs and rushed him over to the vet I had at the time and was quoted $3,000 for a surgery that could fail in 2 years! I called Arrowhead and they got me right in and Dr. Mike is an amazing man and very honest! He offered me 2 different options for the surgery at less than half the price of the other vet! And he is still doing well! When my boy Taser became very sick over the weekend they called me first thing Monday morning and asked me to drop Taser off so they could evaluate him in between other appointments. I have no qualms about leaving my pets with this very Caring, compassionate and competent staff! Dr. Mike contacted me with in the hour after dropping Taser off and advised me of what was happening and when I got there to pick up Taser Dr. Mike's tone and love for my baby help soften the blow that I was going to loose him soon. In the following weeks the staff was always there to answer any of my questions as was Dr. Mike and when it came time to let my baby go they gave me options and then sent me a card consoling me for the loss of my baby Taser. I will forever be grateful and bring my dogs to Arrowhead for the simple reason that they make you feel like part of their family and the environment is warm and inviting! Thank you to the staff and Dr. Mike for helping me through that extremely hard time! I will be forever grateful read more
