LEQMC has provided excellent care to my horse ever since I started using the practice four years ago. Every veterinarian there is thorough and truly enjoys their job. I highly recommend this practice!

From my Bristol Farms business in the 80's and early 90's to my Meridian Riding Club business of today - they have been and are outstanding and continue to up their game as new methods and technologies are introduced. We are very lucky, here in Colorado, to have such a great equine hospital right here in the Denver area! Read Less

I had my first experience with LEMC 27 years ago when I moved here from New York. This clinic is a model to which all others need to aspire. They are always thorough, caring and professional. They cared for both of my personal equine partners and were the clinic for every barn that I managed here. I wouldn't have it any other way. Always cutting edge. Always informed. I wish there were a few more stars available but I guess 5 will have to do. Thank you LEMC for being here for the horses in Colorado! Read Less

After moving to Colorado almost 5 years ago I found the most success, professionalism, and care from Dr. Scott Toppin and the staff at Littleton Large! From the staff at the front desk to surgical teams, and regular maintenance on show horses I believe they are top of the line. It’s a job to keep these equine athletes feeling there absolute best and they are fantastic at doing so. I also feel that they go above and beyond to keep great communication with their clients to make sure they are aware of the care of their horse. Read Less

I agree with others who say I hope you never *have* to bring your equine friend here, but when you do, know that your horse will receive the best care possible. I brought my horse in after my regular (amazing) vet was stumped by his symptoms.  Dr. Mullen and Dr. Mayhew were thorough in explaining what procedures were planned and what next steps would be. After determining that my boy wasn't "fixable", they gave me plenty of time to make the extremely heart-wrenching decision to put him down. I never felt rushed and was able to take as much time as I needed to say goodbye. That whole process, as sucky as it was, was so much better because of their compassion, empathy and support.  I highly recommend this facility for more complex cases. And oh, yeah...I hope I never have to go there again. ;) Read Less

The Littleton Equine Medical Center has been such a wonderful blessing to our family. Their staff helped us through a really tough time when our favorite youth show horse "Roy" became very sick. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma and all the vets working with us took great care in explaining our options and helped us come to the most humane decision. Losing such a great kid's horse was devastating, but the Littleton Equine family followed up with us on every issue and even made heart felt condolence calls. They sent us Roy's tail cleaned and beautifully preserved. Not only did they help us through the tough loss of Roy, but they also kept him sound in the show ring for the last 2 years leading up to his death. My kids won numerous AQHA classes and Wyoming State Titles on the good old guy. I would like to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Please know that my family and I appreciate all your hard work. Sincerely, Jill Stucky Read Less

This week was my 3rd time having my horse in the care of Littleton Large over his lifetime. While they sadly were unable to save him this time, I cannot say enough about Littleton Large. The care and expertise provided is exemplary and you will never have a doubt that you are in the very best hands. But beyond that the care and compassion of the doctors, vet techs and each and every staff member is amazing. Dr. Devine performed surgery on my horse and throughout the procedure he kept me updated and the other doctors and vet techs who were on staff but not in the surgery kept coming by to ask if I had questions, needed anything and simply just to check on me. Throughout the efforts to get him through recovery, the entire staff attended to him constantly while showing me nothing but the utmost in kindness and compassion. The fact that not one, but all 3 of the vets who had provided the most care took time to sit with me while he was euthanized meant so very much to me. I received the same level of care and compassion on both of my prior visits and have nothing but great things to say about this practice. Read Less

My horse went to LEMC for an MRI, that I couldn't be there for due to a school schedule.  They were great  about keeping me abreast throughout the day, but they failed to communicate cost and payment policies before she got there.  Everything worked out fine, but a little heads up would have been nice.  They also forgot to send my horse's MRI to the radiologist for review...  I was very nervous about the results of this imaging study and the fact that I had to call in to check on the status of the results and remind them to send them made me feel unimportant and forgotten about. The staff was very friendly, and the doctor's were very knowledgeable, but I'm not sure I'd go here again. Read Less

For your sake, I hope your horse never has to visit LLAC, because illness or injury that can't be treated on a farm call usually is very serious. If you do have to bring your horse here, though, you can be assured of friendly, safe handling for your horse, kindness towards you, and high quality veterinary services.Everything from colic surgery to unusual lameness diagnostics is performed here. Shockwave therapy for bone disease, ultrasound, semen collection, MRI, intensive care, and chemistry are only a few of the services offered at LLAC. You don't get broader scope in equine veterinary medicine without going up to the CSU teaching hospital. Many independent vets operating out of a truck, rather than a clinic, refer clients here for complicated procedures.Prices can be a bit high, but in the horse world, what isn't expensive? Vets are willing to work with you, and for expensive medications like Gastroguard, LLAC's purchasing power allows them to offer lower prices than most outlets. My horse's gastric ulcers are currently being treated under the supervision of Dr. Lois Toll, a vet operating out of Littleton Large, and she understandingly prescribed an inexpensive alternative to the $32 a day medicine usually used for ulcers- he's taking a human medicine found at a Walgreens pharmacy and, knock on wood, feels much better now, thank you!Horse owners in the area trust LLAC for a reason- they're smart, kind, and have the latest technology to treat most anything.
