What recent reviews say

Staff greet pets warmly and follow up after visits. The team handles urgent cases smoothly and has helped owners navigate serious diagnoses. Recent reviewers note climbing appointment fees and occasional pressure to run tests, plus parking limitations that annoy some.

Recent shift: Shift detected over past 2-3 months: early reviewers praised attention to detail and fair pricing; later feedback notes staff turnover, rising costs ($95-$100 appointment), and pressure to run suggested tests. One reviewer edited their 4-star review to downgrade experience after a year of changing dynamics.

Five Points Animal Hospital

Five Points Animal Hospital

5.0(64)✓ Verified

Five Points earns consistent praise for two named vets, Dr. Nelson and Dr. Dooley, who combine surgical skill (TPLO, mass removal, orthopedic work) with genuine patience and clear explanation. Staff answer questions thoroughly, accommodate urgent same-day visits, and provide transparent cost estimates before treatment. The clinic is clean and calm. One reviewer noted a mismatch with front-desk and tech staff when handling excitable dogs. Otherwise, customers report switching practices specifically to stay with this clinic, recommending it for senior dogs, huskies, and large breeds. Pricing is consistently called affordable.

Livewell Animal Hospital of RiNo

Livewell Animal Hospital of RiNo

4.9(168)✓ Verified

Livewell has built a loyal following for surgical excellence and transparent care. Most visitors praise same-day appointments, vet knowledge, and a staff that genuinely enjoys animals. Two complaints about front desk rudeness and one serious dispute over eyelid diagnosis (where the owner felt steered away from surgery, only for the dog to later suffer corneal damage) stand out against the overwhelming five-star majority. The vets named most-Dr. Kramer and Dr. Hoppe-earn consistent trust for patience and bedside manner. Pricing is called fair and straightforward in most reviews. Early visits suggest the 2024-opened clinic is still establishing consistency, especially with front-desk interactions.

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

4.8(831)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot RiNo earns strong trust from owners of anxious or special-needs pets. Staff go beyond the exam room-coordinating building access, offering private rooms, and updating owners during surgery-and Dr. Mattie Newman and others stay calm and kind through complicated cases. The friction point is pricing. Multiple reviewers report $89 no-show fees applied with limited grace for traffic delays, and emergency visit markups added without advance notice on routine appointments. One reviewer noted rates "2-3x what other places charge" for standard vaccines, and another criticized the cancellation policy as profit-focused rather than pet-focused.
