I really can’t say enough good things about this business. I unfortunately had to have my kitty put to sleep after her treatment but they were great with helping me through my tough time and working with my budget! They even sent me a condolences card which the staff members all wrote a personalized note. I think that kind of care is rare these days and I hope if they read this they know how greatly appreciative I am of them. The way they treated me and my fur baby is what makes a business great!

The staff at Chappelle are amazing. Over the years, I've had 3 dogs and 1 cat visit Chappelle and Dr. Sherrod, Dr. Womack and Dr. Suto always have made me feel like my animals were the most important patients they had. They, along with their support staff know that our animals are part of our family and they treat them with the utmost care and compassion. They also treat us with compassion because they know that when our animals hurt or don't feel well, we feel it too! All three of these vets have called me to do follow up checks on my animals - even on a Sunday! I have to give a special thanks to Dr. Sherrod who has become "Aunt Jan" to us. Read Less

My dog Angus is 157 lb Saint/Rottie mix. They take excellent care of my boy and he feels at home here. The Vets are very kind and knowledgable. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Chapelle's! Read Less

Thank you Dr. Lewis for being so caring and kind today. You were wonderful with helping us make such a difficult decision. We were so lucky to have our Millie for so long and our hearts are a little lighter with your help. Read Less

I wouldn't take my 2 fur kids anywhere else! The staff at Chappelle have always been consistently wonderful to me and my dogs. When my 8 year old husky/lab mix was bitten by a rattler at the start of a hike last summer, I showed up at Chappelle in a panic. Dr. Sherrod and the wonderful techs and front desk staff got him taken care of immediately and did a great job of educating me every step of the way. Can't say enough good things about the folks at Chappelle!! Read Less

Took our lab here for the last 4 years and they took tremendous care of him. We just got a new puppy and are excited to start his care there too. It's almost 30 minutes from our house, and totally worth the drive! All the staff is wonderful, accommodating, helpful and provide great customer service. Read Less

I have taken my dog buddies to this vet clinic for years and years. The staff is fantastic from "front of the house to back". Very caring, professional and personal. I am especially fond of Dr Lewis because I think she genuinely loves my dog as much as I do. That said, I think the other Docs are just as good and caring from what I have heard from others. I highly recommend these folks - they are the real deal and they have been around forever, which means they are doing it right! Read Less

Very happy! When I first adopted my cat Lily Pad, I went to another vet. They were clearly trying to provide unnecessary services to run up the bill. Dr. Womack and Dr. Sherrod were both wonderful and upfront about costs. Most importantly you can tell that they really care about their furry patients! We are bringing home a puppy and I feel better knowing we have found such a great team. Read Less

We had to make the very difficult decision of putting our 15-year old Chihuahua to sleep. Chappelle was incredible from the moment we called for an appointment. We were able to get in quickly to see our regular Veterinarian which was a comfort to us. She was kind and patient through the entire process. She explained all of our options and where those choices would lead us. Chappelle had our dog's ashes ready for us the very next day which was a great comfort to be able to bring her home again. They also sent us a personalized card and two-months after her passing, they sent a bouquet of flowers to our home "In loving memory" of our little one. With the special care and attention they provided our dog along with the comfort and kindness given to us, I highly recommend Chappelle. We have a two-year old dog that also visits Chappelle and it has always been a very positive experience.Read Less

Wonderful staff and Doctors. Everyone is with you from puppy to old age. An AMAZING and LOVING staff that gives everything they can to take care of your pet. Dr. Sherrod is so compassionate. Would never go anywhere else. Thank You for taking care of Chatty until the very end. Read Less

I LOVE Chappelle and they genuinely love my dog! Doctors Suto, Lewis and Womack have been caring for my dog for the last 6 years and she is greeted every time as if she were their own pet. I am never rushed (in fact, sometimes the first 5 minutes consist of the dr sitting on the floor snuggling my dog) and I am never forced into decisions I don't understand or feel comfortable with. I often receive follow up calls just to make sure my girl is doing well. I trust them wholeheartedly and I truly enjoy seeing the Dr's each time we are there. I HIGHLY recommend their services without hesitation. Read Less

The best vet we have ever been to, we have been going there for 8 years now and have always been pleased with their services and prices. They are competitive with most vet prices and we can always get an appointment when we need one. Employees are pleasant, professional and compassionate. Read Less

Yesterday, my 18 month old Irish Wolfhound Molly was brought home from Chappelle Animal Hospital. She was spayed by Dr. Suto and released by Doctor Tracy Tate. When she arrived home, she could not move on her own. We had to carry her into the house and laid her on her bed. I sat with her the entire time, planning to wait until she recovered out of her anesthesia. When called to ask why she wasn't moving, Dr. Suto told us it was perfectly regular for a dog of her size to not be able to move, because dogs just need to work the sedation out of their system. (I later searched to find that it's regular for a big dog after a spay treatment to not move, but the regularity is that they don't move due to the exhaustion of the procedure, but I was sitting there on the floor watching her. Besides the ability to move her eyes and occasionally lift her head, occasionally meaning twice, she had no physical control over the rest of her body). That is the irregularity. At the hospital itself, she had pale gums and a white tongue. At home, after about 15 minutes, they began to regain color. Shortly afterwards, her gums began to whiten again and she began breathing very heavily. Between the heavy breaths and her enlarged pupils, she attempted to whimper. Her muscles contracted, and she went stiff. At this time I assume she went under cardiac arrest. Her internal organs began to shut down and caused her to begin convulsions. After approximately a few minutes of this, she unfortunately stopped breathing completely. At that time, we attempted to do chest compressions, but it was too late, and we had no experience. She was initially sent home because Chappelle had no overnight facility, and since we were unable to get a hold of any of the doctors at 7:00 PM, I called the CSU Emergency clinic. After explaining what happened, the on call vet there was surprised, and could only say that she believed that our dog had passed. From the point of which she was brought home, to when her heart stopped, was about 30-60 minutes. From this experience, and the way that she fell under these unfortunate circumstances, I've been able to chalk it up to this. My perfectly healthy, one and a half year old dog who went into a standard procedure, was either overdosed with medication, had a botched surgery, or an allergic reaction. I can't expect it to be an allergic reaction, because she was able to walk out of the clinic at least enough to get to the car, where typically a reaction would be instant, not delayed. After all, the blood test they did before the surgery should've pointed that out. Which leaves me to suspect that she died due to some form of accidental malpractice. If you are still unfortunate enough to have read this far, and are still unable to relate to this caliber of tragedy, imagine taking your 15 year old daughter to the dentist to get her wisdom teeth removed, only to have her die in your arms on the floor 10 hours later. She went into this clinic eager to smell and explore the inside of the waiting, to find herself unable to breath with her family worriedly sobbing around her. If anything, I would appreciate the veterinarians to contact myself or my family, and explain to us truthfully how this happened to our little girl. Read Less

THEY KILLED MY DOG!! I took my 18 month old very healthy Irish wolfhound in yesterday for a "routine spay" surgery.  I was contacted at 11 am and was told by Dr. Suto "the surgery went well, Molly is doing great she is still under anesthesia so if you like she can sleep it off here and you can pick her up later this evening" I said yes thinking she will be monitored and taken care of surrounded by "Professional care givers" while she came out of the drug. When we went to pick her up at 6 pm, I was told that when they went to get her up she was still a bit woozie and thought they should run a "blood test" to make sure her white blood count was up. I said okay "is she okay" they came back yes, she is fine. I met at that time with "Dr. Tate" he explained that "these large breeds take sometime coming out of the anesthesia, and that the vet assistance had Molly by the back door ready to go home". I came out to see her, and here is my young Wolfie lying on the ground between two vet techs unable to walk, with "white gums & tongue" and I said, "This doesn't look right, something is wrong" again the vet techs assured me she was fine, that this is common. They literally carried her to the car with my husband and put her in the back , sending us off. We were in the car on the way home saying, " It doesn't feel alright", but trusted the complete staff and Dr's of the clinic with there "expertise" . BAD CALL... we get her home and lay her on her bed, my son's is sitting besides her on the floor and says, "mom she is breathing really heavy and her gums are still white" so I call Dr Tate...He says" she's fine... these giant breeds are "lazy" when they are under and it take them sometime". Within 15 minutes of getting off the phone with him she starts to seize, I panic and call the Emergency Hospital, because Chappelle is closed and while I am on the phone with them, she dies.....So things happen right, I mean under surgery there is always a risk, but how in the Sam Hell, can a clinic and DR's not see what a NON-DR saw the minute I took a look at her. I believe they over dosed her. I then spoke to Dr. Suto on the phone, and he said, at 2pm when he left she was doing good, pink gums, etc. but that she was still pretty heavily sedated so he didn't want to rouse her into getting up and walking. I was told when I picked her up that the gave her pain meds around 2,RE-Dosed her with pain meds...WHILE she was still under the effects of anesthesia...WHY IN THE HELL...WOULD YOU RE-DOSE A PATIENT WITH MORE DRUGS  when they were obviously still knocked out!! Like I said I don't need a Veterinary degree to know that! THAT IS PURE COMMON SENSE, and I am heart broken.... It is such a lack of incompetence I am still in shock. I walked in yesterday morning with a healthy, energetic young life, and I came home with a dying young life. Within 12 hrs... gone:((PS- Not one of them has reached out to say "sorry" nothing... no follow up nothing. Read Less

Dr Sharrod is the only one worth going to. She really cares about your pets and wants both of you to be happy. The other drs seem to blow me when I come in with my pets. Not always, of course. Sometimes they'll care, it's hit or miss. But I've never felt like dr sharrod didn't care deeply about my cat's wellbeing. That means a lot. Read Less

I love this vet office!!  I have two cats and two dogs and they have been wonderful with them all!  I have one cat that is slowly dying and they have been wonderful about refilling her medicines and not making me make the drive to bring her in.  My dachshund always hates going to the vet, but she actually seems a little less anxious when she is here.  My shih-tzu has no problem with anyone and loves coming here!  The staff is very nice and gracious.  I love Dr. Sherrod, Dr. Lewis and Dr. Suto.  They have all been wonderful to us when we have come in.  They are not high pressure, trying to talk you into spending every last dime you have.  They are conservative in their approach and actually listen to you.  I live in Greeley, but will make the drive over to Fort Collins, just to use this vet.  They are the best!!

I have been looking for a compassionate vet clinic like this for a long time. The vets and employees go out of their way to make you and your furry companions feel well accommodated. Affordable pricing too! Read Less

We had Chappelle recommended to us by multiple friends, but we were happy with our current vet and saw no need to change. When our dog got bit by another dog on a camping trip, Chappelle was able to see us sooner than our normal vet. After that, we never went back to the old vet. Again, nothing was wrong with them, but Chappelle is amazing. They helped us out with our dog "emergency", and have since taken care of routine stuff for the dog and cat, as well as helping us with different tests for our stud dog. We have seen two or three of the vets there and have been thrilled with all of them. The desk staff is great, always friendly, and very intelligent, which can be rare. The vets are all competent, take the time to explain everything and never treat you like you're inferior. The pricing seems more than fair, and a few times we have been surprised by how inexpensive treatment was. As long as we are in the Front Range area, Chappelle will be our vet. We have also recommended several friends who have had great experiences as well. Read Less

My family has been bringing our pets to Chapelle's since I was seven years old. I'm now 43. In all those years, we have had nothing but the best treatment of all our pets, from all the different doctors and techs and staff. Recently, our German Shepherd was clearly distressed and uncomfortable. We saw Dr. Suto. The visit with Dr. Suto was about ten minutes. He knew almost instantly what was going on, took images to immediately confirm that our dog had bloat. He said, "Don't even stop at the front desk, GO as fast as you can NOW to CSU Hospital...I'll call ahead for you." His incredibly fast doctoring probably helped save our dog's life. He was not necrotic at all and came through the surgery fine and is alive today. I love Chappelle. Regarding cost...I don't see them as any more expensive than any other veterinary clinic. For excellent veterinary care, you're going to have to pay money. They are in-line with any other reputable provider and they are kind and remember you and your pets... Read Less

Our Bishon was attacked by a German Shepherd while traveling through New Mexico and had to receive numerous staples.  The team at Chappelle was wonderful in seeing us for the staple removal.  We really appreciate their services and wish we had such a wonderful vet home here in Arizona.  We did have to wait almost an hour past our appointment (I had a feeling they forgot we were waiting).  We do spend considerable time in Colorado and would use them again should the need arise while we are in town.

Dont go here. I have had 2 bad experiences with this vet. The first was when they lied to me about the procedure used to declaw my cat. I asked for a tendon clipping so the claws could not b protracted - instead I was given a cat who had his toes amputated. He was in severe pain and had litterbox issues the rest of his life. Second was yesterday when due to timing and circumstances, I found myself there again needing to have my dog euthanized. There was no buff cap into a vein. The vet gave the first shot into the scruff of his neck. We were told he would become sleepy and then she would give the final shot. He relaxed but never became *sleepy*. His eyes were still open and he was still able to look around when she tried to give the final dose. I stopped her and asked for more of the *sleepy* med to which the vet gave me some slight attitude but agreed to my request. She gave a very small dose, then immefiately followed with the final dose. There should have been more time for him to further relax but there wasnt. And it was over... But it shouldnt have been this way. I was being placated and I knew it. I've had other animals put down with other vets. It was much more professional and caring. The animals passed easier and slept with the first dose. They werent able to look around at the time the second dose was given. The vets at Chappelle are not to be trusted with anything more than minor care and even then I'm not sure about that either! Do not go here. Try Worthington Animal Clinic in north Loveland Or Mountainwood Animal Hospital in Windsor.Read Less

If you're looking for expensive veterinary care by a vet who knows nothing about your pet, Chappelle is a good fit. We have spent hundreds in unnecessary vet fees (prescriptions, unnecessary shots and tests, etc.) The vets don't present other options so these costs seem necessary. We adopted our dog from Texas and she was very sick. The people at Chappelle did not show any investment or compassion towards her and her unique circumstances. Although she has been to this vet 5 or 6 times in a year, I still have to share her entire story because they do no remember her or even show any interest. I do give them three stars because they have helped my dog with all of her problems. Though in a place like Fort Collins, I'm sure I can find a high quality veterinarian that shows compassion and caring for all of their patients and their families. Read Less

I chose Chappelle because it was closer to home than the vet I had been previously using and also because of their good reviews. I knew there was something wrong with my dog but my old vet couldn't seem to figure it out.  Dr Lewis saw my dog, listened to my description of what was going on with her, and pretty much knew right away what was wrong. Tests confirmed her suspicions.  After my dog had started treatment, Dr Lewis called me just to see how my dog was tolerating the medication. I've been really impressed and wish I had found Chappelle months ago. Read Less

We have had great care here for our dog for several years, from routine checkups to emergency situations. Last week our sweet kitten suffered head trauma and we weren't sure he would make it. The staff saved our baby with the time, quality of care, love and compassion a pet owner could only dream of in such a terrifying situation. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us. This is the best animal hospital with the best staff in all of Fort Collins. Thank you for giving us a second chance with our little guy. Read Less

You know I used to think that they were a good clinic. We go there all the time and have spent 1,000 of dollars there. When are dog got really sick we took her in and they ended up charging us over $700 that was just an infection. I was absolutely shocked it had never been theta much before. The next day she had to be taken back and I told them I didn't want anything else done. They didn't listen and charged over $100 for the visit. They completely ripped us off. I will never return to them again. And I will never recommend them to anyone else. You would think by being a loyal customer they would be willing to work with you, that is not the case. All they care about is how much money they will make off of you. Worst clinic I have ever been too. Read Less

This place is the best! I have been taking my dog here for years, they are affordable and the entire staff obviously has a true passion for animals.  My dog has been seen by all of the vets there except for one, and I have not met one doctor that didn't impress me- they are compassionate, knowledgeable and sensitive.   My dog is my whole world and I only want the best for her- I would recommend Chapelle's to anyone!

All of the doctors have taken excellent care of our dogs. They're thorough. They listen. They care. The only thing that's annoyed me is that we often have to wait 20 minutes even when we have an appointment. That's not terrible but it is tough to control our dogs in the waiting room. The interior could use a little updating but it's in good condition. Their hours are very convenient, which is a huge plus. Read Less

Dr. Womack saved our dogs life.  Our Labrador Rudder nosed open our front screen door one morning while my husband was loading his truck for work.  Neither of us saw him escape.  When we noticed he was gone, we panicked.  After an hour or so of frantically checking around and worrying, we found out he had been hit by a car and a kind stranger found him and took him to Chappelle.  Rudder had a collapsed lung and a few bad wounds.  The outlook wasn't very good and we were devastated.  Thankfully Dr. Womack was able to save him, and we are forever grateful.  She was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable.  I highly recommend Chappelle Small Animal Hospital for your furry loved ones. We won't be taking Rudder anywhere else. Read Less

Don't go.Brought our/a 1 yr old canine in for an eye issue. She was squinting and showing eye discomfort. Told vet she also seemed to have dark spot in same eye. Diagnosed "eye pigmentation change" deemed harmless and sent home $77 dollars poorer. 1 week later back in, SAME eye much worse. Diagnosis: conjunctivitis. Called AHEAD of time to get office charge waived. She told me it was noted and in the chart, and we would see the other vet in the office. Result: Charged $37 for an office call, plus $53 for eye stain and meds.Very disappointed, and stated we should not be charged for another office call when this was clearly misdiagnosed. also very alarmed the lady "noted in chart" to waive office call which apparently means....nothing. Same eye, symptoms much worse.The best part? I asked to speak to the person the receptionist kept bring my case to. The receptionist actually snickered at me and said "Oooooooooo Kay" like I was being silly. Put me on hold for 9 minutes -- then told me they could not speak to me. Gets better, she stated that until I paid in full we would not get medicine. Did that really need to be said?Signed,$167 poorer for a very common eye infection. Read Less

When moving back to Fort Collins from the Denver area I was really at a loss as to where to take my dogs. The vet that I used to have here was hit and miss. At that particular clinic some of the vets were good while others seemed cold blooded to the core. I was not going back there for sure. I remembered that my step-grandmother took her Schnauzers to Chappelle's and always talked very highly of them. When I got my new Chihuahua, Brazil I decided to take her here for her shots and her spay surgery. We have had several vets look at Brazil since we started going here and all of them are great! We normally get Dr. Sudo and he is so nice, very kind and gentle to my little puppy. He gave her a thorough checkup and gave her shots. Much to my dog's dismay. She got a clean bill of health! Brazil got her spay surgery a few weeks ago and came out with flying colors! We went with the laser surgery since that makes them heal faster and she did quite well with that option! Dr Sudo himself did the surgery and that gave me added comfort. Not that I wouldn't trust anyone at Chappelle's to do something like that. During Brazil's recovery period we called Chappelle's off and on to see if the dog still needed her painkillers and how she was healing and such. They were the first to initiate this series of calls and were prompt in returning our calls. If it was not a receptionist calling back it was Dr. Sudo himself! I am looking forward to continuing to take my dogs here to Chappelles because I haven't had service this good from a vet clinic in a very long time! Read Less

agree with mary d. we first went to chapelle's for an emergency visit when we'd only been in town for 3 days, and that was 7 years ago and we'd never, ever go to any other vet. we've had outstanding care and personal attention from all doctors on their staff. when one of our dogs died i got calls from 2 of the vets just to say that they were sorry for our loss. that's first-class, in my book. the only ding on them at all is that you'll never leave empty-handed: a sample of this, a script for that... but, they've never pushed something that you don't need. they just make sure you've covered as best as you can be.

Best vet in town. We started going there because we lived on the north side of town and they were close and convenient. Now, 7 years later, we live on the south edge of town and wouldn't go anywhere else - they are still worth the long drive.  One of our dogs has had major surgery and been sick a few times, and every time we go there they just love him up. Even when we're in the waiting room for a routine appointment, one of the vets or vet techs will come out to say hi and see how he's doing. Not the vet we're about to see, but one of the other ones. Just because they care about him and are glad to see us.I will always bring my dogs here. They're great. Read Less
