Paws Down, the Best Vet Ever - A Review by Cruz the Dog…read more Hi, I'm Cruz, a treat-loving, adventure-ready pup, and I love Silverthorne's Veterinary Hospital (despite my tucked tail at times...I get nervous). From the moment I walk in, Julia at the front desk makes me feel like a star. Dr. Justin is the best, super gentle, smart, and always takes amazing care of me and my sisters, Olive and Rhea. They both had their own vet adventures and now they're back to full zoomies! Alex is always there with steady hands and calm, cool & collected nature, and the whole team is just full of love and professionalism. These humans truly care, and trust me, us dogs can tell. Silverthorne's Vet Hospital gets four paws up from me! Wags and wiggles, Cruz

My elderly cat passed away in early May and the kindness, respect and compassion shown by everyone here truly made an impact on me. Dr. Brittany never rushed me and patiently answered all of my questions in a practical and informative manner. Sadly, our dog has been battling terminal cancer and we are thankful to have been able to transfer her care from Wheatridge in Denver to Dr. Justin in Silverthorne, where they provide the same chemotherapy treatment in an environment that she is familiar with. Im unable to comment on pricing as I have not been to other vets in the area, however they always provide an estimate beforehand. Thank you for the fantastic care you provide our furry loved ones. We know we are in great hands.

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.

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.

We google vet in the area and took here here. The whole staff at the clinic was amazing Wonderful nurse and both doctors that we saw were amazing. The front desk lady was so so sweet. We ended up coming back second time,at 11 pm( thank God this has emergency services and its open all night) since after benadryl the swelling did not go down but it got bigger. Dr Charlie Meynier was the doctor we saw at night. He was amazing and caring and so kind. Even though he was there like 14 hours that day and just got out of surgery he took care of Maggie wonderfully. I wish I could give him 10 stars and we did not live in NYC. He would be Maggies doctor. There is probably thousands vets in NY but none of them even compares to this doctor. You can always tell when someone really does it from the heart. Thank you so very much for your care and kindness. p.s. Maggie is doing much better the swelling went down in the next 24h 85 % . I think she will be fine.

Had an emergency while in vail! The worse experience ever! This business run and thrive only based on money no care so avoid it. I had no problem paying however: -they wanted to take Xray from the beginning -they gave us two different probiotics while I tell them my pet had been having diarrhea and vomiting a bit. -they kept wanting to get Xray and abdominal ultrasound without checking fecal first. -they had told me they have to send the fecal sample to outside lab and for testing after I kinda forced them to run it the second day. -I had to fight a lot and whole lot more ... Dear Dr. Duncan, this is not the way to treat and provide care! My problem was not money but I did not want to skip the first steps and jump into taking Xray as I had to put my little dog under! I am myself a provider this is not how you want your pets to be treated.

Nearly every pet owner we spoke to in Edwards and Vail, referred us to Dr. Charlie Meynier at Vail…read moreValley Animal Hospital. Our poor boy, Jasper, who also goes by the name, Senor Pepe, suffers from chronic ear infection common to the Golden Doodle breed. Vail Valley is our second home and our local vet where we live mostly, is extremely capable and experienced. He had been working on Senor Pepe for a year, methodically ruling out one thing after another, trying numerous remedies and antibiotics and ear cleansers. We usually got results that appeared to be positive, but always fleeting. Since we brought Senor Pepe with us up to Edwards, and he had a major recurrence, we decided to give Dr. Meynier a call. We were delighted with the responsiveness of the office staff, as this was mid-summer when Covid was raging. We were able to get an appointment right away. We brought Senor Pepe down, called when we were in the parking lot, and were greeted quickly by an assistant, who explained the process and brought Senor Pepe into the office while I waited outside listening to Billie Joe Shaver on Spotify. In about a half hour, Dr. Meynier came out to the car with Senor Pepe, and spent a half hour with me talking about canine ear infections and different ways to treat them. He confided that sometimes, just due to the breed, the climate, the environment, and the individual, there is little to be done. May of the things he discussed had already been tried without long-term success, but he had numerous new ideas, too, which we implemented. While I'd love to say that we had better success with Dr. Meynier's treatment or new ideas that we tried at home, we did not. We are pretty much resigned that short of surgery, which we'd like to avoid, that we will just have to treat Senor Pepe's symptoms best we can. The point of this review is not the outcome, but rather the genuine care and concern Dr. Meynier expressed and his generosity of time, explaining to me the causes and treatments of ear infections. Even though we are still dealing with this medical issue, I'm delighted that whenever we travel to Vail Valley with Senor Pepe, he has a great place to receive his ear treatments or emergency care by a super vet! Thanks Vail Valley Animal Hospital.
