Extremely disappointed with this practice . Started taking our dogs here about a year ago, was impressed , brought in two new pups this past summer and nothing but constant calls to change appointment times and receptionist not knowing what the dogs are being scheduled for or why the appointments aren’t kept after being made. Too bad. The Dr was on top of her game , maybe just needing a tuneup up front. Hoping to find another vet that we don’t have these same issues with.

We were so excited to find this vet clinic! We brought our two labradoodles and the Doctor took the time to play with them and cuddle them so they weren't scared at all! My older dog use to hate the vet and hide the entire time. This time she didn't want the vet to leave the room! The vet also gave us so much good information and was very helpful and sweet. We can't wait to go back. I'm so glad we found a clinic that treats our puppies just as we do at home! Thank you!!

Our incredible treatment first began when I made the appointment and was treated with tremendous respect and care from the receptionist who answered the phone. Dr. Walker was very thorough in examining our dog Scout and he fell in love with her at first sight/smell (of the turkey baby food!).

I followed Dr. Walker from her previous place of employment to the new hospital she opened. She is the only veterinarian I would trust to keep my animals overnight. Her passion and compassion for each one of my pets won us over as clients. I usually have ten or more dogs and as many cats, each one is a member of my family. Dr. Walker and her staff took care of my pets for the 4yrs I was in Colorado. I miss her terribly, we are in Florida now.

I absolutely love this clinic! The techs are so friendly and they truly care about their clients. Our Pit Bull got out of the yard last week and a kind man brought him here to see if he was chipped. I was in a complete panic and so grateful when she called to let me know he was there safe. When I got there to pick up my big baby, I was greeted with several warm smiles and later asked if I wanted a kitten. lol Funny thing is, I've been wanting one for a while now, so it was definitely fate. I fell in love with one of the grey kittens they had for adoption, which we've named Gracie. Our family is now complete.

We just had our first visit and wow! Talk about above and beyond! Not only was the care to our furry children absolutely outstanding, the receptionist did a fantastic job of keeping my two human children busy so I could focus on the dogs. Although I hope to not need vet care between now and the next check-up, it's great to know they are right down the street!

Dr. Walker is, in my opinion, one of the best vets I've ever taken my dogs to. She walks into the exam room and she acknowledges the "parents." She then proceeds to do the most amazing thing. She gives our pups baby food to keep them still and so she can look them over and calm their anxiety at the same time.
And to the lady who gave Pets First a one star simply because of a "kitty heroin" comment, I understand your child was in the room, but get over it. This doctor truly cares about her patients and it shows.
They are easy to get an appointment with, her office is clean and smells nice, she has a small rug on the exam table so it's not just this cold sterile environment and their prices are very reasonable.
I would HIGHLY suggest Dr. Walker and Pets First Animal Hospital.

Updated to 5 stars because our pup is now almost two and this place is still great....Dr Walker and tge rest of her employees are our pups best friends....ive never seen a dog so happy to go to the doctor...We've taken our pup here since she was 8 weeks old. I'm pretty sure she's never felt a shot because she's so distracted by the treats and attention. We also had her fixed through here, and she came back a happy pup with lots of details and information on exactly how the procedure went. They do a great job of treating your pet like a member of the family.

In regards to Angela Morrill's comments: Angela Morrill has never stepped foot in Pets First Animal Hospital and her comments are not accurate.
Here is why she is posting a negative review: Her puppy was walking around with a broken leg and was not being treated. Interested parties got involved to help this puppy get appropriate care. The only concern was for the dog's well-being and I was not concerned about someone's feelings getting hurt over the diagnosis. I've used Dr. Walker at Pet's First Animal Hospital for 11 years and she is an excellent veterinarian on every level. Bottom line, the puppy, has had surgery and is on the road to the recovery - everything else doesn't matter.

Dr. Walker is a horrible vet. She prescribed ivermectin for our mixed breed dog without telling us that it was toxic to some breeds and that a mixed breed should be tested for a particular mutant gene; we could have done the test for $70. Instead, she went for her "drug of choice" and poisoned our dog who spent a week in a coma at the emergency vet hospital before crashing and dying. Her comment was "how bizarre". She does not take into consideration the dog's breed and heritage or the toxicity of the drugs she prescribes, nor does she give any descriptions of signs of problems. Absolutely do not take your pet to her; she is incompetent and has no compassion whatsoever. I reported her to the Colorado State Board of Veterinary Medicine and her case meets the board soon.

I absolutely love this clinic! The techs are so friendly and they truly care about their clients. Our Pit Bull got out of the yard last week and a kind man brought him here to see if he was chipped. I was in a complete panic and so grateful when she called to let me know he was there safe. When I got there to pick up my big baby, I was greeted with several warm smiles and later asked if I wanted a kitten. lol Funny thing is, I've been wanting one for a while now, so it was definitely fate. I fell in love with one of the grey kittens they had for adoption, which we've named Gracie. Our family is now complete.

We just had our first visit and wow! Talk about above and beyond! Not only was the care to our furry children absolutely outstanding, the receptionist did a fantastic job of keeping my two human children busy so I could focus on the dogs. Although I hope to not need vet care between now and the next check-up, it's great to know they are right down the street!

Dr. Walker and her staff were very compassionate and knowledgable. I felt completely at ease when I stepped into this office. I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have a great place to bring my two dogs and cat! Thank you for the great care

Dr. Walker is, in my opinion, one of the best vets I've ever taken my dogs to. She walks into the exam room and she acknowledges the "parents." She then proceeds to do the most amazing thing. She gives our pups baby food to keep them still and so she can look them over and calm their anxiety at the same time.
And to the lady who gave Pets First a one star simply because of a "kitty heroin" comment, I understand your child was in the room, but get over it. This doctor truly cares about her patients and it shows.
They are easy to get an appointment with, her office is clean and smells nice, she has a small rug on the exam table so it's not just this cold sterile environment and their prices are very reasonable.
I would HIGHLY suggest Dr. Walker and Pets First Animal Hospital.

Updated to 5 stars because our pup is now almost two and this place is still great....Dr Walker and tge rest of her employees are our pups best friends....ive never seen a dog so happy to go to the doctor...We've taken our pup here since she was 8 weeks old. I'm pretty sure she's never felt a shot because she's so distracted by the treats and attention. We also had her fixed through here, and she came back a happy pup with lots of details and information on exactly how the procedure went. They do a great job of treating your pet like a member of the family.

In regards to Angela Morrill's comments: Angela Morrill has never stepped foot in Pets First Animal Hospital and her comments are not accurate.
Here is why she is posting a negative review: Her puppy was walking around with a broken leg and was not being treated. Interested parties got involved to help this puppy get appropriate care. The only concern was for the dog's well-being and I was not concerned about someone's feelings getting hurt over the diagnosis. I've used Dr. Walker at Pet's First Animal Hospital for 11 years and she is an excellent veterinarian on every level. Bottom line, the puppy, has had surgery and is on the road to the recovery - everything else doesn't matter.

1) prices are really reasonable. 2) they don't try to up sell you or make you feel like "how much do you love your pet"3)fit me in last minute, same day4) didn't have to wait around to be seen. Got right in and was immediately taken care of.5) Dr. Came in with a treat, took time to visit with my pet before the exam. My dog wasn't even scared after meeting her and walked right back to the office. 6) all the staff was smiling and wonderful really made you feel welcome and less stressed. This is my new go to vet!!! Can't say enough nice things!

Dr. Walker was a vet at a practice that we had used for many years. We followed her when she established her own practice. We wouldn't go anywhere else. She is a superb diagnostician who is really attentive to her patients. She and her staff are caring and compassionate. Except for one grumpy cat, our dogs and cats have always been happy to see her.

Her staff is top notch and very knowledgeable. they love our pets as much as we do. Emmie loves to go to the vet, wines to get in the door and greets the Dr. with a wagging tail.

If you are looking for a Vet -look no further. This is not just any Office, Dr and Staff. These people are without a doubt exceptional. The care my Dog has gotten over the last 7 years has been the best there is. My Sister's dog has had so many complications and so much care needed and I cannot tell you the number of phone calls or hours spent caring for his needs. Compassion, Understanding...The best of the best is right here!

Dr. Walker is a horrible vet. She prescribed ivermectin for our mixed breed dog without telling us that it was toxic to some breeds and that a mixed breed should be tested for a particular mutant gene; we could have done the test for $70. Instead, she went for her "drug of choice" and poisoned our dog who spent a week in a coma at the emergency vet hospital before crashing and dying. Her comment was "how bizarre". She does not take into consideration the dog's breed and heritage or the toxicity of the drugs she prescribes, nor does she give any descriptions of signs of problems. Absolutely do not take your pet to her; she is incompetent and has no compassion whatsoever. I reported her to the Colorado State Board of Veterinary Medicine and her case meets the board soon.
