Animal Haven Vet Clinic

Dr Alrman and her staff are awesome! They take care of our 3 pups and they're always accommodating and caring. We were able to get a last minute appointment when our elderly dog got sick and Dr. Altman was so compassionate with him. I'm so glad we found this place when we moved to Fort Collins and we'll continue to bring our animals here. Read Less

Ruth is awesome. She helped us transition a dear pet, and is compassionate and loving....she is also a hard ass, and will get on you if you lag on taking care of your friends, which I actually like a lot....because she cares! Been going here for over a decade, Peace. Read Less

My dog Daisy gets terrific care from Dr. Altman and a wonderful staff. The explanations are clear, the prices and fees transparent and reasonable, and the atmosphere is both very professional and very kind. Read Less

It is not just a job for them. U can see the passion for animals they have having to put our dog down today was hard but with people around like them made it a bit easier. I didn't have to lay our dog on table but I was a blessing to lay him on the floor and lay with him the hole time. Thank u so much. Read Less

Came to Dr. Altman as a friend referred us.  We moved here 1 year ago and took our first dog to a "corporate" vet clinic in Fort Collins that was overpriced and sterile.  Dr. Altman truly cares about your pet and so does her staff.  She takes her time and actually talks to you (and your pet).  She provides options and tries to find the best priced option for you that is also the best treatment.  Her prices are very reasonable and her hours are great.  She responds via email too, which is a bonus.

Dr. Altman saved my cats life! I brought him to her on a verbal referral. I had just seen another vet who recommended surgery, but it didn't match the symptoms. Dr. Altman did a second opinion for my beloved Munchkin cat and found major health conditions that would have killed him had he gone to surgery. He is 15 years old and we found out he had high blood pressure. He is now on medications to ease his bp and hopefully, will live on to pester the great staff at the clinic. Read Less

We have gone to Dr. Ruth Altman's practice since we moved to Loveland almost 4 years ago. We love her!! Her small practice ensures very personal attention and care. Dr. Altman is a straight talker and always has the best interest of your companion animal at heart. Right now we take our dog and 2 cats to Ruth. She also provides the best care for your senior. Our beloved Marty (of almost 16 years) had to finally be euthanized the end of last Dec. (Dec. 2014), and Dr. Altman provided an environment that made his passing over the Rainbow Bridge as calming as possible for both Marty & my husband & I. You can not go wrong if you go to Animal Haven Vet Clinic!! Read Less

This is by far the best vet that I have been to in Fort Collins...honestly, it's the best I have ever been to. Dr. Clough and all the staff take extra time to examine my pets as well as to get to know me; and with all my pets having some kind of medical problem(s), that is relieving. They are kind and considerate and treat every patient (human and furry) with respect and understanding. Knowing that I sometimes have a tight budget they do their best to accommodate to my pet's needs as well as my wallet's. I have quite a few pets and they routinely ask how everyone is doing. I have never felt so involved with my zoo's health nor have I felt so comfortable bringing my cats and dogs to a vet. So, that being said, Cindy Lou Who, Daisy Mae, Frankie June, Olive, Shadow, and I highly recommend paying them a visit! :) Read Less

We LOVE Dr Altman and her staff! We run a non-profit senior dog rescue(Izzys Place Senior Dog Rescue) and many of our foster dogs have been treated by Dr Altman. She is thorough, understands senior dog needs and provides high quality vet care. We highly recommend Animal Haven Vet Clinic to anyone in Northern Colorado! Read Less

Dr. Altman and her team are THE BEST! I had to take my new cat in last minute to get her shots before I move away to Washington and based on reviews I saw for Animal Haven on yelp, I sent an appointment request on their website. Immediately the next day I had an e-mail from Allison with some time suggetsions; unfortunately none of those times worked for me. A day passed before I was going to e-mail back and let them know that I had to get her in somewhere urgently and would have to find another place, but I woke up to another e-mail from Allison letting me know they had a last minute opening if I was able to come in. I called right away to confirm it was still available and got my sweet cat, Tomato, in that day. I was so impressed that she remembered that I was trying to get a last minute appt, and reached out about their opening.All of the women working there were so kind and patient with my little Tomato and I believe they made the experience as least stressful as possible for her. Two days later they sent an e-mail checking in on my girl. The location of the clinic is a little far down College, towards Loveland, but it was 100% worth the drive.I'm so sad that I'm going to be leaving the Fort... I wish that I could take Dr. Altman and her team with me to Seattle and I'm sure Tomato does as well. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this team for any of your pet's veterinary needs. There might be cheaper places to get vaccinations and stuff done, like various low-cost clinics, but I do believe that you get what you pay for as far as experience goes for your pet and I'd rather know that my cat is in the loving hands of a veterinarian who knows me and cares about my baby.Thank you, Dr. Altman and team!

We love Dr. Altman and the entire staff at Animal Haven.  They have cared for three of our dogs and you can tell they love each and every one of them.  They treat each visit as the most important thing they have going on, they never rush, and they always take time to love on our pets before and after treatment.

Animal Haven Veterinary Clinic, the staff and Dr. Ruth Altman ARE THE BEST in veterinary care !!  We had our 2 Irish Terriers, Ruger & Annie, as patients with Dr. Altman for the past 3 years. On our most recent emergency visit, Annie, our 1 1/2 year old Irish , had developed Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis HGE , and was in terrible shape as we dropped her off at the clinic a few days ago. Once again, Dr. Altman and her staff, exceeded expectations in providing the services and care needed to save our dog.UTMOST INTEGRITY, FLAWLESS VETERINARY SERVICES and SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE of VETERINARY PROCEDURES. We refer Dr. Altman to all our friends and business associates !!   Tim & Vicky Burnett , Ruger & Annie Read Less

I absolutely love Ruth and her staff! I adopted a 1-2yr old dog from the humane society and came to animal haven for the follow up because they were close to me and were on the list from the humane society for file up visits. Well the humane society had missed a baby tooth that was supposed to have been removed when he was under anesthesia to get neutered at the the humane society. Dr. Ruth Altman pointed out that it was there, and should've been removed before he was up for placement to adopt. She told me to call the humane society, and when the humane society  refused to take the tooth out (I signed a contract to be responsible for post adoption care), dr.altman contacted the humane society to see what they could The humane society called me back two days later and apologized for the oversight and extracted his tooth for free. Besides that, when I brought him in for the initial visit, dr ruth found he had kennel cough, and worms. The staff there treated him with antibiotics for both, but what really sold me was that they emailed me personally every few days to check on his progress. I've worked at a vet, worked for vets as a nanny, and work with vets for my job as a muttkneebrace consultant. I have never ever seen so much care and follow up ever. I highly, highly, recommend this clinic for anyone who needs veterinary care. I tell everyone I know of animal haven. Just try it, you'll see the attention they pay toward your furry friend.

Dr. Ruth Altman and her staff, are by far the best in veterinary/animal care. My husband and I are in our 50's , and have had several dogs in the past 35 years . We also visited many vet clinics and had just as many veterinary appointments and treatments provided to our pets. Dr. Ruth Altman rises above all the Doctors in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Ruth Altman and staff provided and is still providing our Irish Terrier, Ruger , with compassion and the most comprehensive treatments with utmost knowledge and integrity. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Animal Haven Vet Clinic and Dr. Ruth Altman for your veterinary needs. Vicky Fanea- Burnett, Tim Burnett & Ruger , Fort Collins, ColoradoRead Less

My pets have been cared for by Dr. Altman for over 10 years.  Dr. Altman and her staff provide excellent and compassionate care with old school values and modern technology. She spends a lot of time with you and your pet to get to know you so that she can provide whatever care is necessary.  Dr. Ruth epitomizes what a veterinarian should be. Read Less
