We have been taking our dog Pepper to Boulder Vet for nearly ten years now. I would recommend Boulder Vet to anyone with a cat or dog. Everyone I have ever dealt with there has been wonderful! It is such a great feeling to know I can take my "best friend" to a place where she will get the best, most loving care imaginable. We have seen several of the docs there and they have all been excellent. I especially appreciate how they have helped me learn about my dog since I am a first-time dog owner. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Read Less

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. And you can tell they really like animals. My dogs who never take treats from strangers will take treats from all the people who work at the Hospital.

Dr. Behrens is amazing!! We went in for the first time for boosters for our two dogs. One dog, our 5-year-old husky mix had been having awful anxiety problems. Dr Ingrid was incredibly knowledgeable about possible causes/preventions, she had a ton of advice for us from training to medication. Dr. Behrens gave every possible option before even mentioning medication which made us so comfortable because we didn't want to medicate our fur baby and knowing that we had exhausted every other effort was great. Dr. Behrens has completed so many continuing education courses she knows almost EVERYTHING about keeping our pups healthy. We will continue to see her because she has the knowledge, demeanor, and passion to keep our pups healthy and happy! Read Less

Dr. Hayes is the only vet I trust to take my cats. He is goofy, sweet and very nice. My cats like him and the techs make sure to take care of them. When they get sick in their carrier, they clean it for us! Not too fond of any other vet, but Hayes is the one vet i actually like and very sweet. Not too fond of their location, but the payment plan they offer is definitely the one major perk that out weights the con of the location.Read Less

I really like this vet office. They are a very thoughtful caring and competent group. I also think the women at the front are fabulous. I have called with issues that needed quick follow up and the reception group has been very helpful in getting me to the right people and also getting a response. I have been going here for 12 years. They are also very helpful in giving you treatment options and the doctors provide the best follow up of any vets that I have ever worked with.

The doctors here get 5 stars all day long, great and personable and have an awesome bedside mannerThe receptionists are a totally different story; most of the time you're ignored when you walk in, they have the bedside manner of a grizzly bear making it about the most unwelcome place to enter into..My advice: ditch miss New York at the front desk and hire someone with a sense of humanism and what it's like to come in with a pet emergency because by her actions today she could care less....I had an emergency and wasn't even acknowledged, rather she yammered on the phone about underwater dog treadmills to whoever she was talking.

We have a rare-breed, special needs cat and learned quickly that he requires an extremely qualified vet to handle his issues. Boulder Vet fit the bill, they have taken wonderful care of him! The vets here are all gentle and patient with our cat, and he is not always easy to handle! They also recognized potential health problems unique to hairless cats that our previous vet completely overlooked. They also accept that we may know some things about his care that they might have overlooked, and consider the breed-specific concerns we raise. Overall, we've been highly impressed with the level of care they provide.They are also super easy to communicate with: In the month before his surgeries I called them at least twice a week with some new concern or question, and they always took the time to fully answer me. They called a couple of times the week after his surgery to check in on him, and then again a week or so later. We also appreciate their cost consideration: If there are two treatment options, they'll tell you the pros and cons of both, including cost, before letting you chose, and they do their best to come up with affordable, simple treatments when possible.
