Dr. Shannon Rich, BVSc.

WOW! We just had a fabulous visit for our two elderly cats. We are so impressed with Dr. Shannon. He is kind, patient, and caring with cats, dogs, and humans. He is very thorough, and easy to talk to. Our eldest cat was very at ease with him, and our other cat, who has a very short fuse, did well with him, too. Now that I’ve worked with him, I don’t see any reason beyond a hospitalization to return to our animal hospital. Having Dr. Shannon come to our home was ideal. The cats were relaxed, there was no wait, and he spent a lot of time with us discussing their exams and next steps. I really look forward to working with him again. His rates are very reasonable, and I felt he did an amazing job with our cats. Another wonderful factoid, he volunteers with PetAid Colorado, and trains vet students and volunteers as a vet for pets whose owners might not be able to pay for medical care, or who are at-​risk. We are fans and supporters of PetAid CO, and now, of Dr. Shannon. 5 STARS!!!

We were concerned that our 16-​year-​old cat was no longer walking. We thought that the cat was probably in a great deal of pain and may need to be euthanized. We normally take our pets to a typical vet office, but in this case, we thought that we would try a house-​call service.
Dr. Rich showed up on time and prepared to thoroughly assess the cat. He was thoughtful and gentle with the cat. He gave us a menu of options for treatment and he was careful to give us estimates on cost, which were all very reasonable. We trusted his recommendations and we were able to follow-​up with treatment that was effective.
I want to thank Dr. Rich for his prompt, skillful attention to our situation. I am especially thankful for his kindness when I was an emotional wreck about possibly putting my beloved pet to sleep. And, of course, I am so happy that he had the knowledge and skills necessary to intervene and help my cat recover.
I cannot recommend highly enough Dr. Rich’s house-​call services!

Just wanted to give a shout out to our friend and veterinary colleague Dr. Shannon Rich. As owner of Park Hill Veterinary Medical Center, it’s great service for us to be able to refer to Dr. Rich our patients, particularly some cats, who just get too stressed traveling to the hospital. And, when he sends owners our way for support or services he cannot offer, those owners always have good things to say about the care that has been provided by Dr. Rich.

Dr. Rich continues to be amazing! As I was sitting on the floor in my house yesterday watching him give my dog his yearly check up, I wondered why anyone would do this any other way? Incredibly patient and kind with my pets, and patient with us as well as we tried to coax our kitty out from under the bed so she could get checked out. Cannot recommend enough.

A Hero in Vet’s Clothing!!!
The Back Story — A lost kitty was camping on our front porch this evening — he (Elvis, as it turned out) had been hanging around our block for a couple of days, but ended up feeling comfortable at mi casa (in spite of our inhospitable dog)…what’s a girl to do?
I called Dr. Shannon Rich, that’s what, who is our personal vet and asked if he had one of those chip scanners. Of course, says he. Can come over, even though it is 8:30 in the evening? Of course, is the reply.
The Happy Ending — Elvis was indeed missing from his home for several days and the owner needless to say, was ecstatic (she was in the process of posting notices!) Thanks to Dr. Rich, Elvis was able to go home tonight, rather than having to wait any longer — THANKS SHANNON — you are the best!!!
