I am the owner of a kitten and this vet clinic is very close to me. Dr. Rodewald is so nice, she sat down next to me to talk to me and answer any questions. She asked questions about my kittens personality and really took the time to get to know. The staff in addition was extremely friendly and great to talk to. I would recommend this vet clinic to any one. Read Less

I have been going to see Dr. Johnson at For Paws for several years now, and the experience has always been very pleasing. She knows all of our animals by name and has always been very knowledgeable about all the treatments possible. About 3 years ago we moved into the Denver Metro area and couldn't find a vet that took care of us the same as For Paws, so we took the two hour trip every year, and sometimes more often, down to Falcon to make sure we got the best treatment possible for our dogs. We just moved back into town and could not be happier to be closer to our favorite vet. They have recently expanded their practice and you still get that at home country kind of feel when you walk in the door. Thank you Dr. Johnson for all your help over the years! Read Less

Dr. Johnston is great! Love Love Love everyone who works there. They really care about the pets and people who walk through their doors. I have been going there for a little over three years, and intend on them being my vet forever! Thanks For Paws.... Read Less

Love For Paw Vet in Peyton CO. I have been going there for over three years. They treat me and my animal very well. Everyone who works here is great. They care more about the animals then they do about the all mighty dollar.  I am a loyal forever client. Read Less

I've been taking my dogs and cats in for more years than I can remember. I've never been disappointed or felt my pets were not receiving the best care possible. The staff knows their stuff and cares about all the pets they see. Very satisfied. Read Less

We had been taking our pets to this clinic for 3 years and had not had any issues. Our senior dog was called in for a simple rabies vaccination and checkup. The vet said she was the healthiest senior dog she had ever seen, mild cataracts and hearing was going, otherwise "extremely healthy". 48 hours after receiving the vaccination, our dog had a seizure and had to be put to sleep. It was done at another vet, since it was late on a weekend. We were told that there was a possibility that the vaccination had caused the seizure. We took the rest of the weekend to process the information given to us and I called to have a conversation with the vet. Unfortunately, this is where they lost our business! They let me speak to a vet technician, which was fine, but I told them I wanted to speak with the vet who had treated our dog. They told me she would call back ASAP. We got a card from the clinic, but no phone call from the vet. I called again, reminding them that we were not planning on taking any kind of action, we just wanted to have some questions answered. Mainly, we wanted to know why we were not told ahead of time that the rabies vaccination can cause problems in seniors and might not be necessary. We're not saying that we would have changed our minds about the vaccine, we are merely pointing out that it would have been nice to have the conversation, in order to make an informed decision. So, after three phone calls requesting to talk to the vet, we gave up. They called this week to remind us that our other dog needs a rabies vaccination. I informed her (very politely) that we were going to be taking him elsewhere, on account of what happened with our other pet. I was hung up on! It's a shame that I have to write this review, I wished things had gone differently! Read Less

The best...no....Most EPIC vet there is...Dr. Johnson is the best, she's gone out of her way to take care of my doll face persian Gia....not just a vet, she loves your pet as much as you...Highly Recommend Dr, Johnson and her team.... Read Less

It's official. We have a new Veterinarian. The staff here is amazing. The doctor is caring and lovely. I am a huge fan! We brought our new kitten in and everyone welcomed us with open arms. The prices are very reasonable. Our kitten got her vaccines, an exam, a fecal test, dewormer and an FIP/Felv test for under $140 dollars. Other places quoted me OVER $150. I also needed an earlier appointment than originally scheduled. They were awesome enough to schedule me earlier the day of the appointment which I appreciated greatly. Thank you For Paws Veterinary Clinic for the great experience. 5 stars for sure! Read Less

I really think this place rocks! I was going to petsmart's banfield for years and had a bad experience with the care my dog received and outrageous prices. For example my dog had a large benign cyst above one tooth which made his face look asymmetrical. Banfield was supposed to remove it totally after putting him under; instead, they told me he would have to be sent to another clinic for additional 350 to have it totally surgically removed. I transferred him here and they go above and beyond. He was neutered at For Paws and during the time he was under, they removed the cyst free of charge.Read Less

Will never take my animal there....had an appt was told email back papers just before appt time received call staying they never booked appt. Spoke with supervisor and was rude interrupted constantly and told me if I didn't like it I could go elsewhere. I will never trust them with the life of a cherished pet if I did my job that way would have been fired long ago....you have lucky staff to be so secure in their incompetence. But you lost my business Read Less

DISTURBING USE OF FORCE at FOR PAWS VETERINARY CLINIC and Extreme Physical Restraint applied to my WELL TRAINED Petite Dog!!! Upon entering said clinic, (my eye brows raised at the tacky & dated décor) after a brief check-in we were taken into the examination room. Examination room? It had a little hard bench with a worn out pad, dull old dirty floors and the supposed exam counter (OMG) it was a bathroom cabinet with a cold TINY piece of granite placed on top (approx. 1.5 ft. across and MAYBE 2 ft. in length. NOTHING about this room remotely resembled an examination room; there was nothing medical about this room other than a stethoscope hanging on the wall. Then two techs entered the room, a quick chat ensued and then one of the techs sat on the dirty floor (because there was no place for them to actually work) the tech then wrapped her arms TIGHTLY AND FORCEFULLY AROUND MY DOGS PETITE BODY, RESTAINING HER TO THE POINT OF EXTREME DURESS WHEREAS A STRUGGLE ENSUED. (They were attempting to take my dogs temperature) I said to the tech, you don't need to hold her like that. But the tech did not release her TIGHT GRASP on my little dogs body so I repeated myself but in a more assertive tone: Don't hold her like that. Once again the tech did not let go so I demanded she let go and I said LET HER GO! Long horrid story short: The tech exclaimed We're DONE!!! I said I'm sorry if what I said to you upset you and she replied Don't You Ever Push Me Away! I was in shock!!! I never had any physical contact with her whatsoever. She then said WE RESTRAIN THE ANIMALS THAT COME IN HERE! The entire experience was overtly disturbing to me and especially to my dog, cruel even! As I sat in the exam room pondering what happened I decided to share the experience with the reception desk and within 5 minutes I was literally ASKED TO LEAVE by the office manager; what a foul experience that place was. So I drove over to CATERING 2 PETS and they told about the TENDER CARE VETERINARY CENTER (Just around the corner) they gave us a SAME DAY APPT and the Vet treated my dog like GOLD!!!!!!!! So Compassionate and Caring!!! Animals are to be cared for and nurtured not restrained and treated harshly... I am appalled that people like that would be allowed to even touch a pet!!!!

I cant say THANK YOU enough to the Drs and assistants at For Paws! For over a year, my 3 yr old Aussie/Shepard mix has been battling unexplained seizures. Heartbreaking for me to watch and I felt absolutely helpless. Many visits to our previous vet and ER proved worthless with no meds or remedies to try and I kept being told "you just need to move on, sometimes we don't know why this happens." After moving to Falcon, I scheduled with For Paws for another opinion. And FINALLY, someone wanted to help my boy! I was advised to switch his food and other things to try after, and today, he is 2 months seizure free just by simply switching his food! Thank you For Paws for caring about my boy! Read Less

I love this place and wouldn't take my 3 terriers anywhere else. Dr. Johnson has treated them and a previous terrier who has since passed, but I credit her for saving his life and prolonging it for the better. I would easily recommend this place to anyone. While there are closer Vets near me, and I live near Powers and Constitution, this drive is only 10 minutes and well worth it. I do believe For Paws is a bit more reasonable as well.Read Less

The worst veterinary ever! They were so rough and mean to my dog they gave him a seizure! All he was there for was an exam. They kept changing their story as to what happened. My dog has been healthy his whole life and never once had a seizure. Read Less

I have been going to Dr. Johnson at 4Paws Veterinary Clinic for many years. I must agree with some of the reviews about front office staff being unfriendly in the past but in all fairness to the clinic, there has been a big turnover in front desk personnel and these women were wonderful to me this week when my Corgi Zoe was sick. They squeezed me in on Sat and made sure I got the meds she needed (even staying a little after closing time so I could get there) and again, on Monday when Zoe was throwing up, they got me in within the hour so Dr. Johnson could see her. If you are looking for one of the finest Vets in the area and a clinic that is ALWAYS there for you, this is the place to go. I wonder if the negative reviews are really current and if they are from actual patients of the clinic. Oh well, I am and I am for 4Paws all the way. Read Less

I had taken my dog to this vet for all her medical needs for over 5 years. I was short of funds when my dog need some attention I ask if they could bill me for services as I would not have funds until the 1st (Less then 2 weeks) or arrange to pay them then. they said ""NO"" and would not care for my for my pet...so this tells me that the money is more important to them the the health of a pet. Read Less

Everything everyone has said below that is negative is 100% true. Thy are rude, uncaring and by far the worse place I have ever been too. They don't listen. They only care about there company and not your pet. They do testing that you have already had done and then charge you for it. My pet had the worse blood work and they told me she would be fine, just give her some medicine. She needed to have surgery ASAP. I only found that out after rushing her to the Pet ER and $2202.00 later. My pet died. They did surgery but it was to late. For Paws called me before my pet died to see how she was doing. I told them, I was very upset at them and that my pet was fighting for it's life. The only thing they said was, I will have the office manager call you. We do not want you upset at us. I asked her, how is that going to help my pet know. It wouldn't. I told her the only thing they are worried about is there rep. The lady I talked to was so rude and hateful. I was in tears and all she could say is don't yell. I told her I am in no way yelling I am crying. Then she didn't say anything more. Other then a repeating, we just don't wan tyou upset at us, I am telling you. I have been to a lot of good vets. This one is by far the worse I have ever been too. They don't even have a sink in there rooms. Let alone, the rooms are so small. I thought I was in a bad alley 1950's abortion clinic you see on T.V.. It was horrible. Anyone that thinks this place is great, has never been to a great vet. The only reason I went there was, my vet could not get me in, this vet was just down the road. They thought they were an ok place. I have since told them to never ever send anyone to them. Trust me. Save yourself a lot of heartache. Don't use them. You will be sorry. I know I am. I had to put my pet down because of them. The infection had spread. Do you know how hard that is? I stayed with her the whole time. It just killed me. Please and I am begging you as tears are rolling down my face. Do not trust these people. They killed my pet. I trusted them and my pet lost it's life because of them. Even the ER doc said, with her blood work that bad, she should have had surgery ASAP. So it is not just me that knows this. The blood works said it all. Her white count was off the top. I would not give Johnson a dead animal to work on, she would probably kill it. I have done what I feel is need to be done. My hands are clean. I have tried to warn you all. They are just people that slapped up a clinic called it a vet place and forgot the most important things. The care for Pets. Johnson is not a nice person nor did she ever say sorry. It was just like oh well. I have never been to a vet that was so heartless. Never. But you all will do wht you want. Some will say they are the best and great. But in time the truth will come out. I just pray you don't have a heart break like I did. Read Less

I read the reviews on this page after we started with this vet so they didn't affect our decision and I'm glad. My partner found them by accident, calling around looking for an office that had only female vets, as our older dog had to be muzzled to be seen by our male vet in Alabama (he was abused and his fear of men comes out in vet's offices.) We have been seeing this vet for 3-4 years. All of our animals (currently 4 cats and 2 dogs) have no problems being seen and treated. We have always been treated well and with respect. I couldn't be happier. In the time we've been using For Paws we have 1.) had a very old and sick animal put to sleep (there was no charge and we were very happy with the way iwas handled.) 2.) gained three animals and got fast appointments to have them seen. 3.) had a surgery on a cat who had appendicitis and a bowel obstruction. 4.) had a very ill dog with canine flu who we had just adopted be kept there and treated over a period of days. 5.) had a 9 year old dog with an infection on his hip treated. 6.) had two cats declawed (I wouldn't recommended having older cats declawed, as an aside. It took her months to adjust, whereas the kitten came back like nothing happened) one cat fixed, as well as having a dog fixed. All the animals with the exception of the first are alive and thriving. Every time anything major has been done or an animal has been very ill, they have called to check on them after they were treated to make sure they're ok. I love my animals very much and will pay whatever it takes to treat an illness that can be cured or an injury that can be fixed. I am very pleased with the service we have gotten and the way we have been treated by all staff members. I would recommended them to anyone. Read Less

After readig the reviews, I was skeptical, but was referred by a friend so I made an appt. The Staff is very friendly and helpful--no bad attitudes! The whole experience was pleasant and my dogs won't mind goingback Dr. Johnson is our Vet now. Read Less

Would NOT recommend, have had the blessing of having some fabulous veterinarians take care of our many animals and being new in town trying to find a new vet I can say this office lacks big time!! Poor attitudes spoken of in earlier comments rang true for me too, being an administrator for decades I have learned most of the time when this occurs it?s a trickle down effect. Normally, poor staff reflects poor ownership/leadership hence do you really want to trust your pets care with an office that can?t seem to muster up consistent professionalism? Lucky for them, they obviously must have a large enough client base not to care who they offend or when, must be a selective process on their part depending on mood of the day. Trust me, you can find better!!! Read Less

We have used Dr. Johnson & Staff for our Daisy for several years and have nothing but good to say about them. The staff are always friendly & they are very kind & gentle to her. We totally trust them and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Read Less

My ""kids"" and I have been clients of Countryside Vet, then changed to For Paws Veterinary Clinic for over 10 years now and I honestly can say I have no complaints. I look at a couple of the other reviews written and I have to wonder, ""how was that person treating the staff?"" In all my time I have never seen anyone treat a client or their animal with anything but great kindness and thoughtfulness. I, myself deal with the public a lot and how someone is feeling, or what kind of mood they are in can greatly affect how others appear to be treating them. For Paws office can be very busy and people seem to go in expecting to be immediately seen and do not seem to notice everything else going on around them. I can even recall being in the office one day and a client was yelling that he has a time schedule to keep and that it was ""rude to keep him waiting"" and the front desk girls were very patient with him and explained that the Doctor was doing the best she could and sometimes things come up in appointments that are unexpected and take longer than it was originally thought to. I love the staff at For Paws Veterinary clinc, they are all very helpful, knowledgeable and caring, I would never go anywhere else!!! Read Less

I took my dog in with a sore on his paw. The receptionist was helping someone else. I waited patiently for my turn. When it was my turn, she looked at me like I was bothering her. No smile. No head nod. Nothing. Even thought I had an appointment, I had to explain who I was and why I was there. When I was taken to the back, I did not even get to see a doctor. At least I don't she was a vet. I know who Dr. Johnson is and this was not her. Again, there were no smiles. I felt like I was bothering them. After a glance at the dog's paw, she did a quick shave and announced (with no compassion at all) ""It's not an infected pad, it's a tumor. It has to come out and if it comes back as cancer, then the foot will have to be amputated"". She said this with such a matter of fact tone in her voice that I was shocked. I felt tears start to stream down my face. Still, no compassion was shown. I asked how much it would cost. She said $350 just to remove the tumor. I asked if they would accept payments. She said if I paid half up front they might work out payments. I explained that this was still nearly two hundred dollars and I would have to figure out something. I asked for some pain meds for the dog. We were in the back room where the kennels are and the meds are kept in the same room.She never said a word, she just turned and walked away to get them, leaving me standing there crying. I picked up my dog and walked to the outer office to wait. The receptionist barely glanced at me. She never asked me why I was standing there. When the medicine was brought out she told me the cost, I paid it and left. There was absolutely no compassion offered from anyone in that office. On the way home, I realized that they never even checked the dog's temperature or listened to his heart. They spent three minutes with him and diagnosed him. I spent over $50 and he was never even examined beyond a glance at his paw. I realize that no one ever wants to hear bad news about a beloved pet. I've had my fair share of sick animals. But I have never been treated with such coldness before. I felt like no one cared at all about my dog and I definitely knew that no one cared about the cruel way they told me that my dog had a tumor. I have come here for years and always been treated well. Lately I have heard people complaining that this office has changed. I was the first to defend the staff here. Now I have seen first hand what people have been talking about. It has changed. I would definitely not recommend this office anymore. Read Less

The animals receive exemplary care, i only wish the same could be said for the owners. You are not greeted with a smile, or a hello when you walk in the door. Everyone looks very unhappy. And like they would rather be anywhere else.One of the receptionist is borderline rude with her tone and the way she addresses you on the phone and in person. I will NEVER deal with her again. The Doctor and the Vet Techs in back when you see them are amazingly friendly and happy and so nice. A BIG contrast to what you are greeted by at the front door. I am really sad that just for those reasons alone i may have to go somewhere else. But when you come in worried about your animal, and to have the ""debbie downers"" greet you at the door it does not instill positive thoughts. I do understand having a professional attitude. But to ignore people when they walk in, look at them and WAIT for them to say what they need, with no, Can i help you, Hello, How are you today, No greeting at all, THAT is unprofessional. There is no above and beyond from the reception staff for the people. For the prices you would think someone OTHER than the doctors or the techs could manage a smile. Its sad when the most welcoming part of the reception area is the resident animalt. At least it greats you warmly. Read Less

Dr. Johnson and staff are very professional and are very willing to meet the needs of the pet owner. I have 4 animals and moved on out of the state. They are quick and curtious to make it convient for me to be able to get care at the next location.Read Less
