My dog is old, but he suddenly took a turn for the worst. He is 15 years old and one of the family, his pain was horrible, we knew it was time. I called everywhere his own vet and several others pleading with them to please put my my dog to sleep so he would not be in pain any longer. No one except VCA in Thornton would even though they had another appointment. The care they took with my best friend was amazing, I will tell everyone to go there because of this. Thank You to the staff and management!!!!! Read Less

Definitely don't recommend, they are great until you sign up for the care club and then they are extremely rude, even answering the phone politely seems to be too much work for them. We took our Bella in for blood work for our fur baby so she could be spayed and it wasn't pulled properly yet they want us to pay $600 for it even though we got no valid results. The test came back saying that her blood had low platelets (platelets clot the blood) and they need to draw it again because the blood was clotting before it got into the tube with the de clotting solution, I'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron! The staff wears so much perfume that our other cat attacked her for almost 2 days because she didn't recognize her scent and they are best friends. Seeing as how this is a vet and smell is vital to recognition, it's seems very unprofessional to wear highly scented perfumes when you are handling other people's pets. This place is money hungry and I plan to file a formal complaint about charging outrageous amounts of money for services that aren't rendered. Kit was very nice though, that's about the only good thing about our visit. Read Less

Great doctors and very good care at any VCA. Although a bit pricey, almost $60 for an exam.

I LOVE VCA! Dr. Pete is so so so very kind. He has taken such good care of my fur babies. Everyone has always been super friendly and informative. My dogs have been in Dr. Pete's care for a few years now and I can't imagine going to anyone else. He's helped my chihuahua get to a healthy weight and resolved my dachshund's skin issues. All the techs and staff are personable and love animals! Special thanks to Pam as well, she is a wonderfully kind soul!! Read Less

My Cat had been acting strangely this morning, not eating or drinking water and her eye looked swollen. I went off to work and hoped she would come out of it herself as she has done in the past with a heat blanket and rest. I got home from work at 7:00 pm and Phoebe was in worse shape then I had left her. I immediately called every pet hospital around Thornton area, all which had a near $100 visit fee alone. VCA Thornton animal hospital did not have an emergency visit fee. Even though they close at 8:00pm they were able to get us in immediately. Dr. Lori Ouzoonian and vet tech Pam did an outstanding job with getting Phoebe into the office and treating her even when Phoebe was showing signs of irritation. Vey pleased with my late visit. Phoebe is now home and eating. I will be going back in future for any of my cats needs. Read Less

From the other vets I have been to in the last 15 yrs, this VCA vet is Worst I have ever been to! This is the 1st vet I had to wait over 15mins 2 different times. It took over an hour total when i took my second dog in when I only talked to Dr for 10mins or less. They are higher priced then most vets. Also my brother signed up to take his dog in and they keep calling and emailing me and even attached my email address with his for the app. info. Thats just not safe or right!! what if he wasn't someone I knew, they would have my email and Id have their info! I will not be going back and DO NOT recommended this. petsmarts Bandfield vet is even better then they are! Read Less

We had the unfortunate experience of having to put our dog down. The staff was very caring, compassionate and sensitive to our needs at this time. This was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. They understood and made it easier in our hard time. Aside from this difficult experience we had brought our dog here before for routine checkups and others times she had gotten sick. We continued to use vca because they just seemed to be more caring than other vets. Many other vets were closer to our house but we felt it was well worth the drive. I would recommend them at any time. Read Less

VERY expensive. It seemed they cared more about trying to sell me $4.5 a pound food than what we came there for. Our dog had been scratching her ears a lot and we thought she had an infection. They barely examed her ears and said nothing was wrong. Instead they just keep going on and on about prescription science diet and that we were pretty much bad pet owners if we didn't buy that food from them. A few weeks later we went to Banfield and sure enough, she had an ear infection. So not only that but their teeth cleaning and wellness plan are ridiculous expensive. Teeth cleaning at Banfield is only $250 and it includes everything. VCA is $700. Also the wellness plan is half the price and included all dental work. And they charge more for senior dogs! Completely outrageous. Don't fall for their free first exam. Read Less
