Took my dog here in an emergency worried he broke his leg. We were told they were “unexpectedly “ busy and I was happy to wait the 3 hours they told me. After waiting in the room for over 4 hours with no one coming in to check on us we left as the room was extremely hot and my pup was not doing well. I understand triaging and accepting patients based on specific needs but when you are hearing conversations outside your room between the vets and their friends getting in and out within 45 minutes it’s clear if you want quality service here you need to know the owner or someone who works there

Last night I had to the one thing you have to do when you own a dog that is the hardest to do. I put my beautiful Charlie down and the people at this clinic were so very nice and helpful during a really hard time. I love how they treated myself my wife and my little boy Charlie!

I am a disabled vet and my service dog has a hoke in his check which it looks infected and I needed to get him in asap. The lady at the desk asked me to wear a mask which I have a prescription to not wear one due to my health condition. They let me go back to the room were I sat with my dog and son for an hour. Then when the vet lady came in she asked if I had a mask which I explained again to her I Won't and can't wear one she's you're 1 she then asked me about my dog and laughand left the room about 10 minutes after that she came back in and told me I would have to go wait in the car while they

My kitty, Ansel, is a patient of internal medicine at Vet Specialists of the Rockies. Since we began treatment, his health has improved significantly! He is chronically ill and has blips in his health, but they’re always willing to take a call and answer the questions I may have. Ansel was recently hospitalized there for a few days. The staff was so incredibly kind and informative. They called twice a day with updates and explained thoroughly any changes or improvements he was experiencing. Grateful to have a team that cares as much about him as I do! Thank you all!

We’ve been here a few times now in the 4 years we have lived here. Every time has been great! From one dog eating a ton of chocolate and me freaking out to diarrhea and random illnesses. They’re always nice, when I went in for something I thought was concerning that really ended up not being much of anything, they didn’t even charge me! Helpful to have a vet open late and weekends since my work schedule doesn’t work so well With our primary vets hours for more urgent issues!

A complete scam! Brought a severely injured cat here because we didn't know where else to go last minute (severe leg trauma). They took x-rays, did tests and still couldn't figure out what happened other then his leg had to be amputated which would cost $4k-$6minimum in addition to the $2k for emergency fees we had already paid. They then called us in the middle of the night (2am) to tell us they didn't think he was going to make it and we needed to authorize emergency medication or pick him up immediately. We slept through the call to find out he made it fine through the night.
An amazing vet

Veterinary Specialist of the Rockies in Castle Rock, Co is the absolute best pet hospital I’ve ever experienced. The staff is so caring and respectful to you and your pets. We recently had to put our dog Murphy down and the staff was so kind to us. The vet who put Murphy down talked to him the whole time and told him things like “everything will be okay buddy” and “we all love you so much Murphy”. The compassion that this vet showed made this experience more comfortable for us. He was such an amazing vet, after he checked to see if Murphy passed he spent another minute petting him and

I was told by another vet that my dog may have a very aggressive bone cancer based off of X-rays taken. We decided to take our dog to a specialist to confirm, and Veterinary Specialist of the Rockies was able to get her in just 3 days after we heard the news. We obviously wanted to get her in somewhere as soon as possible hearing how aggressively this bone cancer spreads. Other specialists were about 2 weeks out minimum. I walked in, the front staff greeted me right away, and were extremely caring and professional. Shortly after we got in our room, the vet tech, Morgan, asked a bunch of questions

Had to take our two dogs in late last night because of two separate issues. The staff were professional and quick to get us into a room and check to ensure neither had any life threatening conditions while they tended to another animal with a more serious condition. After finishing with that, they were able to run tests on ours and give proper treatment. The final bill was very reasonable, especially for late-night emergency care. Will definitely be returning if any of our pets need emergency care in the future.

Saturday at 5am, my best friend was struggling and we knew we had to make one of the hardest decisions a pet owner has to make. Unfortunately, while my wife was on the phone with this vet, Herschel passed away. Even though it was early in the morning and it was too late to help him to the Rainbow Bridge, the compassionate and caring person on the other line helped us set up the intake of his body. We arrived and within seconds they were professionally and respectfully carting off my friend. They asked me if I wanted to see him one last time, shared stories about their own pets passing and truly
