Boulder Emergency Pet Clinic

They did a wonderful job fixing up my dogs ear after a «misunderstanding» he had with a Rottweiler. We came in and he was bleeding and they had us see the vet first thing because they wanted to stop the bleeding asap. They were also very up front about the costs and there were no hidden fees or other nonsense. The staff is great. They let me go back and sit with my dog when he was coming out of surgery. And I didn’t have to schedule any follow up visits for changing the bandages or getting the stitches removed. They just told me to come in whenever is convenient and they didn’t charge me for any of that. I pray I don’t have anymore pet emergencies but if I do I will definitely be back.

Cindy saved my dog’s life the night we came in! My dog ate sugarless gun and had Xylitol poisoning. I thought she was dead when I got to he clinic, but survived the night. She was there four nights altogether and all of the techs and vets were wonderful and took such good care of us. My grandson came with me and they were very welcoming and patient. Everything was clearly explained to me. Diana M

I can’t express enough how happy I was with the service and care of my puppy at Boulder Emergency Vet. My 6 month old goldendoodle had severe prolonged diarea. The second we brought her in we got fast service. The nurse and vet (Cindy Grimm) were very straight forward with me regarding what Layla needed. She ended up needing to be on fluids for the next 3 – 4 hours, after we left her with them they called at least every hour to let me know how she was doing. They gave our puppy exceptional care, we are beyond pleased with the service we received. Thanks so much to the team at Boulder Emergency Vet!

If you are wealthy and you can afford this place than by all means take your pet here if it’s Saturday night and an emergency.
I personally feel it was a rip off. To splint a foot and take ex rays cost over half a months rent ($ 500? lolz). They also were not entertaining the idea of billing.
I’m very bitter towards them. The suggested after care plan was excessive– other vets told me the suggested plan was overboard. I’m bitter because I’m in college and they were not forthcoming about the treatment ACTUALLY NEEDED.

Our 40 lb. dog was attacked by a moose. We brought him bruised head to toe and in a state of clinical shock (cold, irregular breathing, and internal bruising).
Dr. Grimm is an exceptional clinician. She performed a through assessment, made appropriate suggestions, kept our costs reasonable and in my books, saved our dog. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. Our dog successfully transferred to CSU where he is currently being treated.

A big shoutout to the Emergency Pet Clinic for helping us out in a stressful situation. We are animal lovers and found a stray dog with no collar standing in the middle of the road on a very cold and snowy Sunday night. The Humane Society and Animal Control were both closed, so we brought the dog here to see if we could get his microchip scanned. The woman who helped us (unfortunately I didn’t get her name!) was totally kind and ultra-​helpful, gave us a leash for the dog, scanned his microchip, called the pet locator service and helped put us in touch with the owner, and did not charge us anything. This was a huge help and something that a vet hospital is not obligated to do; much appreciated!

Last weekend I brought my little Kitten there three times. I had no clue what was wrong. The doctors explained every test they performed in great detail. They were also nice to calm my nerves

My puppy had a deep cut and needed some quick medical attention. After calling his regular vet and being told the next appointment was weeks away, I went to this place. They were so kind and so helpful. My pup ended up needing stitches as well as staples, which they took care of not just efficiently, but also compassionately. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone experiencing a pet emergency.

I brought my vomiting kitty into the emergency clinic because it was on a weekend and my normal vet clinic wasn’t open. After getting an X-​Ray it showed she had an obstruction in her intestines that wouldn’t pass on its own. The options were surgery or to put her down (she’s only two years old). She’s already had an expensive surgery for this same reason once before so we were trying to make the hard decision of paying again or putting her down. Dr. Marano was EXTREMELY patient and helpful. He took his time to answer all the questions we had and gave us all the time we needed to make a decision. We ultimately went for the surgery and he did a great job. I had complete trust in him to take care of my kitty. She had a quick recovery with no complications. I can’t comment on the other doctors but I would recommend Dr. Marano with no hesitations! What a patient, compassionate doctor that clearly loves animals and his job.

My husband took our dog in when we returned home and she wasn’t able to put weight on one of her legs. They did a thorough physical examination and washed out the area she had gotten a small puncture wound in the morning (when she evidently acquired the injury), but they completely missed the broken foot bone, and sent us home with anti-​inflammatories for the puncture. We’re sorry we didn’t press for an x-​ray, as it turned out the break was not displaced and was not in an easy place to feel in the physical exam. Treatment was quick, not cheap, but that’s what you get for convenience.

Okay if you have no other choices and it is truly an emergency (weekend — late night), but… don’t count on getting a thorough or compassionate exam.
My cat who was very old, was bleeding out of her mouth, on a Sunday of course when there is very little options to go for help. She was diagnosed with a tooth or gum infection and given meds. The next day I went to my vet in Lafayette, Pets & Pals who Dr. Kathy diagnosed her with liver failure, not a dental.
Unfortunately, it was too late to save her as her liver was shutting down and she passed two days later. I wish this would of happened during the week so I would of had a better chance to save her or at least get a more accurate diagnosis.
I don’t recommend this er hospital, sorry.

I cannot say enough good things about the level of care my dog received from this clinic. They have taken stellar care of her and revived her on two different occasions. Their hours are ideal for emergencies during the weekend or at night and their staff is incredible. My dog received amazing care and I received many phone calls and updates while she was in their care. I cannot recommend this clinic enough.

Brought my dying bunny in, who passed away almost as soon as we got there. The doctor was nice, but the lady at the front desk was incredibly rude. She announced that i owed $ 200 immediately (for them telling me my bunny was dead… they didn’t actually *do* anything for her). I was shocked and told her I didn’t have that money, that they would have to bill me, and she demanded loudly to the packed waiting room that I tell her RIGHT NOW when I could pay. I’m still not sure what they thought $ 200 was covering, as I said they did nothing for my bunny — no injections, oxygen, medication, anything. I was in too much shock about my rabbit to try to get a better understanding of the bill. I will never take another pet there and would not advise for anyone else to; the Alpenglow urgent care at 33^rd and Walnut is very close by and the staff is much more compassionate.

I didn’t actually bring my dog in but I did get some excellent advice over the phone late at night when my dog started getting sick. I was worried that my pup was really sick and needed to be seen right away however when I called they told me ways to comfort her and reassured me should would be fine until the next day when I could bring her to a different (and less expensive) vet. If I ever do need emergency vet care for my pets they will be the first place I go to!

I have used this clinic for both a cat and dog emergency several years apart. Both times they were «champions» in their care, compassion, and attention. They seem to understand the stress the pet owner is experiencing with their pet emergency, and know exactly how to interact with the owner, while providing excellent care for the animal. I’ve experienced several different veterinarians and technicians as they change with the shifts, and I’ve never had a complaint with any of them. Also, their followup is excellent. If you want to take your pet to a good clinic you can count on for immediate care by excellent staff, this is it. You will appreciate the peace of mind. I’ll never go anywhere else.

The Boulder Emergency Pet Clinic is an amazing place. A couple of years ago in the middle of the night our cat, Mr Fibbs, stopped being able to urinate. He was in pain so we took him into the clinic. They took him back right away and started investigating. They did everything they could. They were very caring and compassionate and we quickly developed a relationship with them. it was clear they really cared about Mr Fibbs and about us. Naturally, the prices were a little expensive due to the emergency nature, but it was worth every penny for our positive experience.

my gerbils thought that 3am would be an awesome time to participate in rodent combat– resulting in two very bloody animals.
the vet was very nice and patient, cleaned their punctures, washed them off, and gave two weeks of antibiotics for each.

So this place has the hours that the humane society and most vets don’t: 5:30 pm to 8 am. Hence, the emergency bit.
I went here tonight to bring in my girlfriends roommates dog Max (i.e. Maxors) who was obviously in a lot of pain. The roommate was out of town, which complicated the situation a bit.
In any case, we took the old boy in. $ 90 for the visit. They promptly checked us in, took care of max, checked him out, and gave him pain meds… so fast and with such good cheer that it put the human system to shame. (I’ve had some serious bad experiences with the American medical system, which I won’t get into here).
In any case, the vet was friendly and the pain meds fairly inexpensive (30). They offered to do an x-​ray (130) but we decided to wait for the other roommate to get back: it looked like the old boy got into a bit of a scuffle with a younger bigger dog, so that definitely might have had something to do with it.
In any case, the prices here are reasonable considering this was all without insurance (I pay more for my meds and I have insurance) and the service was excellent.
This is a great resource to have in Boulder if your beloved pet takes seriously ill during the night: I highly recommend it.
