I have had nothing but stellar service at Boulder's Animal Hospital!! Always!!…read more My dog has been treated here for the last 14 years. Dr. Brockman and her entire staff are outstanding and go above and beyond to show love and care to my now, senior dog. I wouldn't trust my dog to go anywhere else. I was shocked at some of the negative reviews given here at Yelp. I did notice that many of these negative reviews were written during the Covid pandemic. I believe that just the stress of that alone caused many to be on edge and upset. I really feel it's unfair to personally condemn a person especially if you are comparing them to yourself. You should go here for great care of your beloved fur baby.

We were on time for our cat's first Vet "Well visit" and waited 28 minutes to be seen. The place…read morewas not very clean. Hair of other pets everywhere. No clean towel to put cat on. Floor, carpets, chairs had animal hair all over, even the ceiling and window in our exam room were dirty. "Parasite check" is listed as included in $80 "Well Visit" which I was told prior on the phone. Had to put $50 down on card to "make sure we come to the visit" per staff. Ok. Cat was weighed by staff who kissed our cat, but the scale didn't work. Staff had to get new scale. Vet came in very late, and was more gone than with us. Checked for ear mites with cotton swap and stated cat's ears look fine. We were then charged over $38 extra for the vet looking through a microscope to check for suspected ear mites. That would be - in my understanding - part of the parasite check. Paid $22 for 1 pill of a dewormer that I can get on Chewy for under $6 for 50 pills. Vet couldn't find mites, so why do we experience "crawling" sensation after every direct contact with the cat. No answer, other than Vet claiming we all have cat allergies to this cat only (we were all tested for cat allergies and none of us has it). Dewormer was assured by Vet not to have any side effects, but online research states lots of cats dying or going blind, vomiting, etc. with lots of cats needing to be seen in the ER afterwards. Vet stressed "law" of rabies vaccines required, which is not accurate, and not making sense for an indoor only cat, given the risks of them dying or getting neurological damage and other injuries. Vet made fun of our cat's name and compared it to a public figure prostitute in front of my child. Vet got cat's gender wrong and stated being "confused" when I corrected them. It's on their file correctly! We noticed cat to be cross-eyed, to which the Vet stated not to "insult" the cat. Soon after they saw it as well, but had no idea why, how or whether this might ever resolve. No further info given. The staff was friendly, but seemed unknowledgeable about vaccine laws as well. They changed between "recommended" and "must be done by law". I paid over $140 for a well visit that we were told would be $80, insulted over our cat's name and seeing the Vet (who constantly left) for a total of 5 minutes in a 1.5 hour long time at their office. Vet didn't know dosages or dewormer side effects and staff/Vet were dishonest about possible side effects and what to look out for. I inquired about costs for chipping, and was told to email staff for the costs. So I paid $80 for them weighing my cat, which I could done at home. That was the "Well Visit". The rest was all extra. We are NEVER going back to this office.

I came to Indian Peaks for my dog's allergy issues and left feeling dismissed and overcharged.

Instead of a collaborative conversation, it felt like: "I'm the trained vet, so don't question me." Asking questions seemed to make her defensive, and the whole experience felt transactional -- more about protocol and billing than personalized care. I won't be returning.

We had seen Dr. Curtis with our dog Juno about a spay. The visit seemed pretty good, so we brought…read moreour dog, Cody, there for his vaccines. Cody is a 1-year old cattle dog mix. He is very friendly with both people and dogs but can be energetic. He had been to our previous vet 2-3 times, as well as a specialty vet over some digestive issues. None of these vets had any issues with him and described him as friendly. I volunteered with Training and Behavior for over six years with a local humane society, so know a fair bit about dog behavior. We saw Dr. Stine - and he was very wriggly. I tried to offer to hold him, but they kept pushing me away. He did look back at her several times, but I did not see anything that looked alarming in terms of aggression. They said they wanted to take him the back for vaccines. Personally, I never think it's a good idea to separate a dog from its owner in a brand new environment. But since I knew Cody was good natured, I agreed to it. When he came back, he had orange stuff all over his snout. They said they had muzzled him and given him Cheez Whiz. Having muzzle trained several dogs at local shelter, I know this is not something you do without proper training. It can create a bad experience for the dog, and I was never consulted about muzzling him. I would have said no and done vaccines another day at another vet. Secondly, Cody has a very sensitive stomach and has had several boutss of diarrhea due to food insensitivities. Because of that, I had brought my own treats that I knew would be ok for him. He later had diarrhea due to the Cheez whiz. When I sent an email complaint, the vet said Cody had tried to bite her and she had bruises on her arm. She said this happened when she examined him in the room with me. I have no idea what she's talking about, because I did not see anything like that. To make matters worse, it's clear my dog is now traumatized from the whole experience. I went to give him his topical flea and tick preventative which I've been doing for a year. This time, he actively flinched and looked terrified when my hands went behind his head. I know this is because of how he was muzzled and manhandled at Alpine. Don't go here.

My regular vet at Arapahoe was not in that day, so we saw Dr. Califf. Dr. Califf diagnosed Twinkie with pancreatitis, hepatitis, colitis, an inflammation in her liver and kidneys and gallbladder. She was extremely dehydrated so we left for there to be treated. Dr. Califf updated me every few hours with Twinkies care. After three days we got to take her home and continued her treatment and meds at home for 2 weeks. Her follow-up yesterday showed that all of her blood levels are now normal, and she is doing great! Thanks to Dr. Califf and the awesome, compassionate care she got, Twinkie has her spunk back. So grateful to them all!

Dr. Anderson changed my dogs life by recommending a vet nutritionist without judgment and his life has drastically improved because of her help. I could truly go on and on about this staff and how amazing they are. For every person complaining about new staff or "rude" staff, you tell me that you'd be bright and shiny 24:7 watching sick pets come through. This staff is honest, dedicated and so passionate about the work they do. Thank you SOBO. I am forever grateful to you all!

Our dog had severe complications following his neuter which led to spending thousands of dollars on…read morean emergency veterinary visit. While we know medicine isn't perfect, the most alarming part of our experience was our interaction with the performing surgeon, Dr. Kay, whose reaction to our bad outcome has been defensiveness, gaslighting, and represents a shocking absence of empathy, compassion, and kindness. We picked him up from his procedure at 3pm and within hours, his scrotal skin was so swollen he was leaking blood from his skin in puddles on our floor. It was so swollen he could no longer sit or lie down (he could not close his legs) and he whined incessantly. He underwent a scrotal ablation and, in the aftermath of watching our dog go through this trauma, Dr. Kay has been insistent that the emergency vet mistreated him, that we were wrong for taking him in for more care, and that his surgical approach has been impeccable without any bad outcomes over a 34 year career (this does not feel statistically possible). There is an accreditation veterinary hospitals can apply for called the American Animal Hospital Association (AHAA) which has rigorous standards for care and certification. We will be seeking out a hospital with this accreditation for all care moving forward and we would urge other folks to do the same when looking for care for their animals.

She acts like she knows everything, and because she's considered the only holistic vet in Boulder has a long waitlist which she always uses as leverage. Her heart is not invested in treating the animals, she rushes the acupuncture, barely does chiropractic adjustments and charges way too much as she continuously minimizes the appointment time, She left 3 very ill pets hanging as she joined Lap of Love. I told her I would use Lap of Love when it came time to put my babies down and she still just left me hanging.
