Small Animal Emergency and Urgent Care accepts emergency patients from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m., seven days a week. Please call ahead to help us prepare for your pet’s visit.
Between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m., please seek medical help at another emergency veterinary clinic. If you are a CURRENT client with an after-hours emergency, please call (970) 297-5000, so our emergency service can consult with a representative from your specialty care team.
Proud to be the only veterinary trauma center in Colorado, our experienced emergency team is equipped to help pets with non-life-threatening conditions and the most severely ill or injured dogs and cats. If you have immediate concerns about your pet’s health, you can visit us the same day, no appointment necessary.
When you arrive, your pet will be evaluated right away by a member of our team to ensure they are stable, and we will recommend next steps if they need immediate medical attention.
After your pet’s initial evaluation there might be a wait time if your pet’s condition is considered stable, if our team needs to attend to more critical patients.
Our exam fee is $175. We will provide you with an estimate for any care needed.
Following further assessment and stabilization (if needed), you may be referred to one of our other services to receive more specialized care. By visiting us through the emergency and urgent care service, you gain access to all our veterinary specialists, who may be involved in your pet’s case depending on their medical needs.
Specialized technology
Similar to a human ICU, our veterinary ICU is fully equipped to execute any diagnostics or treatment your pet needs, with access to a blood bank, 24/7 doctors and veterinary technicians, and pain specialists. We currently do not offer extracorporeal therapies such as dialysis.
We partner with the hospital’s diagnostic imaging service to provide advanced imaging technologies and services to our clients.
A dedicated member of our team or the anesthesia and pain management service will be assigned exclusively to the task of closely monitoring your animal’s vitals and potential side effects during any procedure requiring pain management, sedation, or anesthesia.
