Vca Aspenwood Animal Hospital

Took my senior dog Ebany here. Doctor Kelly was really kind and understanding about our financial circumstances. We decided it would be best to out her on an insurance plan. For about $80 a month she can be properly cared for. I loved the fact that the whole team was accommodating and welcoming! Thanks again for everything VCA! Read Less

We love Dr. Hedlin. I'm not sure I could of found a better vet for my fur babies. While I wish prices were a little lower, I'll continue to come here for the professionals working here and the care/love they provide. Read Less

Dr Kelly is absolutely amazing, she takes great care of my GSD and explains things in a way that is understandable that helps me make the best decision possible for my pup. He has been seeing her for almost 6 yrs now. Highly recommended. The clinic is cleanb organized and everyone is super friendly.Read Less

When we take on ownership of a pet, we all know there will come a time when, for one reason or another, the pet will no longer be with us. We experienced that finality today with our cat Dashiell - €Dash.€ He came into our lives a neutered stray, jumping the fence into our back yard. We watched lost cat notices intently, for who would not look for such a fine, sociable, lost spotted tabby? This was in 2004. After a week we took him on board. What can I say? He was fun to be with. Raking leaves, shoveling snow, walking the dog, painting, writing, Dash was always at our side. A month ago Suzanne took him to the Aspenwood, for he was loosing weight, and seem a bit lethargic. There was a kidney problem, the vet - Dr Kelly - tried to help, but Dash ate less and less. By Saturday Dash had stopped eating entirely. Today we took him to Aspenwood to have him €taken down.€ For the first time in his life he did not have to ride in the cat carrier. He always hated the experience, and would cry the whole trip. This time he was on Suzanne€s lap, and did not a cry. Dr Kelly, who had been working to fix Dash€s kidney problems, saw us in a small room. We were worried that strange barking dogs would scare him, but there were no barking dog sounds for the entire time of this event. The patient [pet] table had three blankets to keep Dash comfortable. Dr Kelly took Dash into another room to insert an IV tube. She brought Dash back with a sleeve over the incision€or insertion. She first administered a tranquilizer. Dash was in Suzanne€s arms. For the first time in weeks he had his satisfied, all is cool, look. The Dr Kelly gave him something to put him to sleep. And he slept. Not curled up with his tail or paw over his eyes, as was his habit, but obvious sleep. She then gave him something that stopped his heart - stopped it rather quickly. And Dash stepped out of this stupendous mystery he had roamed about in, these 14 or so years. All is cool. If you ever have to make such a choice, I urge you to go to a vet for euthanasia. Not all vets let you witness, so if that is what you want€make sure they offer it. My hat's off to Dr Kelly of Aspenwood€a real pro. Read Less

To say VCA Hospital was amazing would be an understatement. They were so friendly and handled the situation more than perfect. I will definitely go back and I will continue to refer them! Thanks for taking care of my dog :) Read Less

I had to Google VCA Aspenwood for their address and noticed they had 3.9 stars and wondered why, because they are GREAT. There are some 1 star reviews whining about pricing. Here's the truth: I've been seeing the vets here for years...and in all honesty, I do tend to do the smaller things, like vaccinations, somewhere cheaper. But for actual vet care, nobody can touch Dr. Kelley and Dr. Katie. They are really the kindest vets I've ever met. When my 14 year old Shepherd was dying last year and they were telling me all the testing options I could continue to perform on my girl after 3 emergency trips in a week's time, it was Dr. Katie who looked me dead in the eye, put her hand on my shoulder and said "I'm going to tell you this because I think you need someone to say these words...Euthanasia is not a wrong choice in this situation. She is not necessarily in pain today, but when her kidneys fail, and they will, it will be extremely painful." Those were the hardest words I've ever had someone say to me, and I lost it. But it allowed me to take a step back, spend 2 more wonderful days with my best friend, and schedule her release up in the mountains on her favorite hiking trail. She got to have 'one last good day' and be put at peace in her favorite spot in the world, outside, in the mountains she loved, whereas if I had waited another week, or two, or even bought her a month or two, eventually she would have crashed and had to be put down in an emergency situation inside a vet's office, which nobody wants for their baby. I'm getting a new puppy within the next month, and you can bet she'll be going here for medical care.Read Less

We have brought our beagle here for almost 4 years now. I will say the care given is great, but we won't be going here anymore due to the high pressure sales situation they've put us in too many times. We have a 22 lbs beagle. Almost everyone that meets her says "wow, I've never seen a happier or healthier beagle". She is lean and fit and still looks like a puppy, she's turning seven this March. Yet the last several times we've brought her in here Dr. Katie made us feel like we are the worst dog owners ever that are mistreating our beagle because we aren't spending $500 - $1,000 every vet visit from all the extra services they try to push on us. We go above and beyond as pet owners, did the $400 dental cleaning last year, and my wife just had to have a stand down with her to not repeat the teeth cleaning again this year. I'm sorry, but if a customer doesn't want an extra service, and has a happy healthy dog, probably should ease off on pushing the extra services. Most adults would laugh at a $400 teeth cleaning for a dog, and we did it last year! Yet by not doing it again this year, she made us feel like terrible pet owners. Nope, won't step foot in here again and excited to find a vet that actually cares about the pet and family's decisions, not just tacking on extra services. Read Less

Dr. Kate is AMAZING! She talked to me like we had been friends for years (I just moved to the area, so it was my first time meeting her). She loved my dogs, and it was obvious how much she loves her job. I trust her with my pups wholeheartedly. Read Less

Great doctors. As my 15 year old girl was going downhill, they were honest with me about the expensive treatments that were available, as opposed to giving me fal$e hope. I appreciated their compassion and care for my sick, sweet old Siameser and helped to keep her comfortable in her final months. Read Less
