Special Friends Veterinary Clinic And Grooming
Aurora, Colorado
General Info
Special Friends Veterinary Clinic and Grooming provides an intricate network of support for pet care in Aurora, enabling Colorado families to sustain their animals' health throughout the year. The initial phase of appointments involves an exhaustive examination of recent behavioral patterns alongside appetite fluctuations energy levels and lifestyle modifications. Veterinarians engage in a multifaceted process incorporating wellness screening weight tracking vaccine updates and species-specific breed-tailored physical exams. Special Friends Veterinary Clinic and Grooming delivers numerous clinical services including parasite prevention and nutrition consultations as well as dental cleanings along with surgical referrals and prescription planning. Medical professionals utilize laboratory examinations fecal tests and urinalysis to investigate symptoms such as vomiting chronic itching and weight loss. A practical focus drives each case approach to instruct pet owners on monitoring techniques, follow-up schedules, and care management. Multi-pet households along with owners who manage long-term care plans frequently select the clinic as their preferred choice. Records remain current and clear without lapses so specialists can share updates easily while tracking results over time and identifying patterns during repeat visits. Special Friends Veterinary Clinic and Grooming recognizes Aurora's hectic lifestyle which leads the team to establish specific recovery timelines along with follow-up schedules and seasonal adjustments. Pet owners depart with far more than mere test results because they acquire essential knowledge contextual understanding and confidence regarding the home care they provide in Colorado.

Few Veterinary Clinics in the entire Rocky Mountain Region compare to the uncommon, professional, compassionate and complete medical excellence found at Special Friends. Special Friends name speaks volumes to just how special they are in veterinary medical technology, compassion, empathy and the rare combination of love and common sense. Our Schnauzers, Cody and Santana always loved to visit and truly that's very Special because we know that our pets are the first to detect when things are not right. I think the best witness to their Veterinary Care rests in the numerous positive and complimentary remarks made by friends and clients involved with Special Friends Veterinary Clinic and Grooming!

Great service! I took my cat here and they do a fabulous job. Like many cats, he tends to freak out when going to the vet but they calmed him quickly. They listen to your concerns and are willing to take the time to answer your questions. I am an empty nester so my cat is very important to me. I will only take him to Special Friends and nowhere else.

Have been here three times. Once for a pup who was having diarrhea, another when my dog needed to have an exam and once when we found a dog roaming a back road and took him to be scanned for a chip. The first time, the staff was very nice and genuinely interested in helping make our pup better. Second time, they were kind of rude and rushed us through and I didn't really get to discuss any of my concerns. The third time, being as how it was the closest place to us, we decided to go there once again, and they were actually helpful with the whole process as I didn't have any idea what to do with this dog that we found out in the middle of nowhere but couldn't just leave him. Guess it just depends on who you deal with or if maybe they are having a bad day because I've had both good and bad experiences here. Have decided not to make it my go to for my dog though because it is very pricey. For what they charge just for a visit, I was able to get my dog, 3 yr rabies shot as well as the other shots she needed elsewhere. The office is clean and tidy, has a good waiting area, and they are nice to your fur babies, (even if they are rude to you). So all in all, If it weren't so expensive, I would probably make it our go to vet. Oh, I do have one big negative thing to add though, the parking really sucks. But that's just do to location, it would be great if they had more parking.

For what I was going there for (my dog of almost 6 years had to be put down), I had such a great experience here at Special Friends a few months back, and would recommend them to everyone! Bed side manner of the entire staff could not be more genuine or well received!!
When I’m ready to get another dog to share my life with, Special Friends will definitely be vet of choice!

Am not one to give reviews but this came up as a recommendation and I was reminded of my experience. About a year ago we moved into the area, we had recently become aware that our dog that we had taken in from some aquaintences was peeing blood so we took her in right away. Turns out she had a stone in her bladder. The vet told us that medication would be enough to disolve the stone and she would pee it out. Turns out 2 months after we initially took her in, the stone had actually gotten bigger! This is $1,000 later, with the lab tests and medication. All the vet told us was that sometimes it didn't work! And of course right away they had the other agreement ready to sign for a $2,500 surgery! I walked out furious, not only because it didn't work but because our Luna had been suffering for an unnecessary 2 months. Took her in to Planned Pethood the next day, scheduled her surgery and did it right away all for a total of $650! Maybe this place is good for small check ups, but for big things they will try to squeeze every penny they can.
