Manitou Animal Hospital

We have been taking our dogs to Manitou Animal Hospital for almost 20 years and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Peter and his staff are kind, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. They were exceptional when dealing with our dogs needs and with us. We had to put our last dog down recently and when the time is right and we get another dog we'll be back! If you are looking for a vet who truly cares about your pet this is THE place you want to come. Read Less

Peter has been our vet for over 30 years.  He and his staff are caring courteous and professional..they have seen us through 2 dogs and 4 cats.  We now have one dog who is a senior and is having issues, but through it all Peter and his staff are seeing us through the issues, there has never been an issue with this vet..would highly recommend Manitou Animal Hospital to anyone with a pet.

Took my poor dog there to get put down and when we got there they took us right into a room that was set up with a nice mat for him to lay on and some tissues. My dog was more comfortable on the floor rather then the table so they did the whole procedure on their hands and knees. After it was done they gave us all the time we needed with no rush what so ever. A couple days later we received a card with his paw prints on them. I appreciated that so much. They made the experience as best as it possibly could be. :) Read Less

I didn't have a vet and my cat Frankie got into a fight and had an abscess. So they squeezed in an appt. I was so happy I called them. Frankie was treated so well and they were really thorough. They even called me days later to see how he was doing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you for your kindness and care. Read Less

The staff here are awesome! I had to leave my cat there for a few days and they were all very kind and professional. I felt like they genuinely cared about the comfort of my sick kitty even though he was a bit difficult. Highly recommend! Read Less

I just got my 6 month old puppy spayed at Manitou Animal Hospital today. I loved that they texted me pictures of her once she woke up :) They were so nice, happy to answer all of my questions afterwards, and went through every detail of post surgery recovery. My puppy is doing great, didn't seem phased at all when we picked her up, and she had apparently even been giving the vets kisses 😊 They were so good with her, I'd definitely recommend this vet clinic!

This is my family's vet clinic of choice, at first because they are near our home but we have received great service here. Our bunny, Zelda, and our cats, Jace and Meera, have all been patients here.Zelda had a minor deformity in her jaw that meant that she did not wear her teeth down evenly from chewing like most rabbits. She used to come here for routine tooth trimmings to keep her happy and healthy. Unfortunately, Zelda later developed an abscess that required surgery. They recommended us to another vet that was more rabbit savvy. Zelda made it out of surgery but passed away that night, which sadly is common for rabbits as they don't handle shock well.Meera came to us with badly burned paws, parasites, and malnutrition. She was a stray who crawled into our building's dryer vent for warmth and got stuck, which is how she got burned. We rushed her to the vet with zero notice and they saw to her almost immediately. We got medicine for pain management while her paws recovered and to kill the parasites. Our little chatterbox is doing great and will be coming in for a follow up visit soon.Jace was rescued as a young kitten and we took him here for his vaccines and to get him neutered. He is doing great as well! Read Less

The staff here are amazing. Even when our cats are being difficult, they handle every situation calmly and professionally. They've been so great at helping us through our one cat's diabetes diagnosis and treatment. Highly recommended you bring your pets here. Read Less

I had never been here before and was recommended by friends this is a great place. My kitty had sudden gotten ill on a Friday night, and i brought him in first thing Saturday. Sadly, the worst was true. I said goodbye to my boy Hobbes but they were so wonderful to accommodate me at such a tough time. I have just adopted a new cat, and will be bringing here here. Read Less

Have been bringing our two dogs here for a year now. Have had some record mix-ups but nothing serious. Brought our dear Molly here in over the 2017 Chistmas/New Year time frame- she was tired, not eating and losing weight ( from 140 - 104lbs). Vet examined her and determined that she had a spinal issue on the left side of her neck. Recommend that we restrict her activity, crate her and don't let her go up stairs or jump on furniture. Prescribed a muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory to be give with food (she was not eating!). Molly continued to get worse and because it was over the holiday and everything was closed we called the Emergency Clinic but they were too expensive. We called our former animal clinic the next morning and got an appointment for that morning. Sadly, Molly passed an hour before the apt. Our dog was clearly misdiagnosed and we will not return to this clinic. They had the audacity to send us a sympathy card for the loss of Molly. Read Less

Won't be going back to this vet. I had been with my dog a couple years ago when I first got my dog and was living in the city, and had a wonderful vet there who was so kind and friendly and ensured my dog trusted her. Today I went back with my dog, as I've recently moved back to the area and had a horrible vet. My dog is nervous around people and dogs, and I told them this before coming. And yet, when the vet first walked in, she commanded him in a loud and aggressive voice to "get down" when he jumped up on her. Nervous dogs jump. Similarly, he jumped up to look on the counter and she rudely said "does he do that at home?" I felt throughout the visit she was implying I wasn't managing my dog properly. Despite my explaining that my dog was meant to be euthanized for fear aggression, that he has been rehabilitated through positive reinforcement training and calming medication, and that he is still nervous to touch and to new people, she and two vet techs muzzled him to clean out his ears. This would be okay if any one of the three people had made any effort to let him sniff them, meet them, or perhaps even given him a treat. No one did. So, my nervous dog had three strangers touching all parts of his body, while he was muzzled and helpless. First of all, this is so detrimental to all the training we've done. Second, I felt like my dog was being violated and was given no respect. I honestly felt like the vet didn't even like dogs, and I felt like no one knew a thing about anxious or nervous dogs. This despite me calling and speaking at-length with the receptionist before making an appointment. I specifically asked for someone who knew about nervous dogs. As a new "patient", I felt there was no time taken to get to know us, to meet my dog before shoving devices into his ear, or to accommodate his needs. I told the vet that usually (at my pervious vet) I put the stethoscope against him because he is more comfortable with my touch; instead, she told me to hold his head away from her so she could do it. Honestly, I felt like my own knowledge of my dog and his needs meant nothing, and her forceful methods of dealing with animals overpowered anything I could do. I will not be returning, even though my dog needs a second dose of his ear infection medicine. I will search for a new vet this week to get him the second dose, or just pay to do it over again in a new clinic. That's who badly I felt this vet was. I would not recommend them to anyone who loves their dog. Read Less

I rushed my little man (chihuahua) Timbit to Manitou Animal Hospital today. There was clearly something wrong but we didn't know what. The staff were fanastic and very quick to bring the vet in. We found out it was due to tramua (apparently Timbit had been chasing my other dog and smacked his head on the folded table while I was sleeping (my fiancé confirmed the vet was right). He was showing neurological symptoms which I was seeing and hence the reason for rushing him in. Amazing staff. I cannot thank them enough for allowing us to come in immediately like that. We already love you guys! Amazing amazing animal hospital! Read Less

First time bringing our chihuahua to the clinic. The staff was amazing. Very friendly. Peter the vet was kind, patient and very gentle with our dog. Took his time and answered questions. Very clean place, bright and welcoming. Definitely recommend to fellow pet owners. Read Less

Manitou Animal Hospital has provided excellent care to both of my dogs over the past 10 years. When we had to put my Fox Terrier down they were kind and compassionate and very supportive of us. Just recently my dog had a dental done and they were so good to him making sure he was comfortable and spent a lot of time with us after explaining what we could expect over the next few days. They even called us after to check in on him to see how he is doing. We appreciate everyone at Manitou Animal Hospital and the wonderful care they provide to our fur babies. Read Less

This place is amazing. Both my cats were diagnosed with two disease and they have been nothing but supportive and compassionate and patient with me and helped me get through their management and ensure they are getting everything they need to be healthy! They actually took the time to explain the diet and routine changes and work with me both financially and what worked with my life. I would recommended this place to anyone! They are a fantastic team that loves animals and will do everything they can to help you and your furry babies :)Read Less

Absolutely the best vet clinic in town! Everyone goes the extra mile, are kind and caring and very knowledgeable. We've been taking our cats here for years.
