REVIEWS OF VCA Aspenwood Animal Hospital IN Colorado

Samantha Huyge

Dr. Kate is AMAZING! She talked to me like we had been friends for years (I just moved to the area, so it was my first time meeting her). She loved my dogs, and it was obvious how much she loves her job. I trust her with my pups wholeheartedly.

When we take on ownership of a pet, we all know there will come a time when, for one reason or another, the pet will no longer be with us. We experienced that finality today with our cat Dashiell - “Dash.” He came into our lives a neutered stray, jumping the fence into our back yard. We watched lost cat notices intently, for who would not look for such a fine, sociable, lost spotted tabby? This was in 2004. After a week we took him on board. What can I say? He was fun to be with. Raking leaves, shoveling snow, walking the dog, painting, writing, Dash was always at our side. A month ago Suzanne took him to the Aspenwood, for he was loosing weight, and seem a bit lethargic. There was a kidney problem, the vet - Dr Kelly - tried to help, but Dash ate less and less. By Saturday Dash had stopped eating entirely. Today we took him to Aspenwood to have him “taken down.” For the first time in his life he did not have to ride in the cat carrier. He always hated the experience, and would cry the whole trip. This time he was on Suzanne’s lap, and did not a cry. Dr Kelly, who had been working to fix Dash’s kidney problems, saw us in a small room. We were worried that strange barking dogs would scare him, but there were no barking dog sounds for the entire time of this event. The patient [pet] table had three blankets to keep Dash comfortable. Dr Kelly took Dash into another room to insert an IV tube. She brought Dash back with a sleeve over the incision…or insertion. She first administered a tranquilizer. Dash was in Suzanne’s arms. For the first time in weeks he had his satisfied, all is cool, look. The Dr Kelly gave him something to put him to sleep. And he slept. Not curled up with his tail or paw over his eyes, as was his habit, but obvious sleep. She then gave him something that stopped his heart - stopped it rather quickly. And Dash stepped out of this stupendous mystery he had roamed about in, these 14 or so years. All is cool. If you ever have to make such a choice, I urge you to go to a vet for euthanasia. Not all vets let you witness, so if that is what you want…make sure they offer it. My hat's off to Dr Kelly of Aspenwood…a real pro.

When a new vet-petcare chain opened up a block away, I took a cat there, after 15 years of frequenting Aspenwood. What's the difference, I thought. Well, the chain was expensive and off-putting. Aspenwood, over the last twenty-five years has dealt with every aspect of pet care with expertise and compassion. Cats and dogs, both. As far as its pricing goes: yes, veterinary care is expensive. Vets are trained like MDs. Do you think it's easy sewing up the torn tongue of a feral cat? It may not be cheap to save a pet's life, but all of Aspenwood's work is carefully itemized, and everything is carefully explained. Carefully as in: with care.

Have taken my cat there since I moved to Colorado. Staff is friendly and they care about you and your pets. Sad they no longer board animals, but you can't go wrong taking your furbaby there!

Sherri is a total package professional. Dr G is great with our senior Bella. She knows Lrg Breeds.

Aaron Herget

Chris Keirnan

This is one of the best veterinary offices I have been to. The staff is very friendly, and the doctors are fantastic. Very kind and compassionate. On our first visit with our your puppy, the doctor even took some extra time to teach our Ginger to shake! I just feel like they go above and beyond each time we are there. I feel lucky that they are right in my neighborhood, but would be worth the drive even if we had to drive across town.

Chuck Brooks

Dr. G is amazing.

Andrew Nelson

Expensive services but they do a good job.

I don't frequently rate business, but VCA Aspenwood did an amazing job helping us out with a very difficult disease to handle in one of our cats. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience here and they went above and beyond any and all expectations to help us through an extremely hard time. I'm very grateful that we were recommended to them.

David Matthews

Everyone here its very enthralled with the wellness of not only your animal but all animals that walk through their door. I went in with my puppy who had an eye infection. My pup doesn't really like new people at first but new Dr. Isabel Grillo, was there to help and my pup allowed Dr. Isabel Grillo, to handle her with very little resistance. Not only were they able to treat my puppy and get her back to her old happy self they helped me out since this was an emergency funds were low and this place was the only place that allowed me to do a payment plan in order to make sure my puppy got the care she needed. Thanks from the bottom of out hearts David and Neytiri

Jake Jordan

Helped fix my dogs eye. Super friendly and didn't annoy me about joining a plan like Banfield does..

Alyson Staton

My experience here was amazing! I have a pitbull and people are quick to judge, but not here. Everyone was friendly and made myself and my pooch very comfortable. Biggin has a hard time with shots and the team made accommodations to make sure he was taken care of. Thank you VCA! .

Matthew Sullivan

I recently visited Aspenwood for the first time. Things were pretty great. The facility was clean, they saw me quickly, and the actual vet spent a great deal of time with me and my dog. The next day, the actual vet called to check on my dog and share test results. Great service and great follow-up!

Michael Underwood

We take our cat there for check ups. There are good with the animals and friendly.

Amber Finegan

I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff have been such a big help raising my new kitten. Dr. Hedlin calls me personally to make sure he is doing ok after a visit and share test results with me. Much appreciated!!

I truly love doctors here, but have had some bad experiences with the front desk lately, the very petite one, very short hair. She has a bit of a bad attitude on her. You can hear her being very loud/rude when youre in the exam room.

Michael Seg

Very great experience here. Staff is friendly and easy to talk with. Will be taking my new cat here again (if needed) in the future

Dr Kelly is absolutely amazing, she takes great care of my GSD and explains things in a way that is understandable that helps me make the best decision possible for my pup. He has been seeing her for almost 6 yrs now. Highly recommended. The clinic is cleanb organized and everyone is super friendly.

Amanda McCombs

I had to Google VCA Aspenwood for their address and noticed they had 3.9 stars and wondered why, because they are GREAT. There are some 1 star reviews whining about pricing. Here's the truth: I've been seeing the vets here for years...and in all honesty, I do tend to do the smaller things, like vaccinations, somewhere cheaper. But for actual vet care, nobody can touch Dr. Kelley and Dr. Katie. They are really the kindest vets I've ever met. When my 14 year old Shepherd was dying last year and they were telling me all the testing options I could continue to perform on my girl after 3 emergency trips in a week's time, it was Dr. Katie who looked me dead in the eye, put her hand on my shoulder and said "I'm going to tell you this because I think you need someone to say these words...Euthanasia is not a wrong choice in this situation. She is not necessarily in pain today, but when her kidneys fail, and they will, it will be extremely painful." Those were the hardest words I've ever had someone say to me, and I lost it. But it allowed me to take a step back, spend 2 more wonderful days with my best friend, and schedule her release up in the mountains on her favorite hiking trail. She got to have 'one last good day' and be put at peace in her favorite spot in the world, outside, in the mountains she loved, whereas if I had waited another week, or two, or even bought her a month or two, eventually she would have crashed and had to be put down in an emergency situation inside a vet's office, which nobody wants for their baby. I'm getting a new puppy within the next month, and you can bet she'll be going here for medical care.

Michelle G

The entire staff is always friendly and helpful and Dr.Kelly makes our dogs happy to go to the vet!

Cassidi Hunt

We love Dr. Hedlin. I'm not sure I could of found a better vet for my fur babies. While I wish prices were a little lower, I'll continue to come here for the professionals working here and the care/love they provide.

Taylor Pridgen

Even when we moved away from this area we made sure to keep coming back here. Everyone who works here is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We feel at ease trusting our pets to their care.

Michelle Richey

Kind and caring staff. It's a bit pricey but they are always upfront about the cost.

Skyler lala

VCA Aspenwood has been my biggest support system since I rescued my dog, Yayo, 3 years ago. She had a myriad of health problems and suffered from severe abuse from previous owners, and I can say without a doubt that without the amazing people at this clinic, my dog would not be alive today. They have been with us every step of her recovery and beyond. I am extremely grateful for everybody here.

Allie Mitchell

Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly

We have brought our beagle here for almost 4 years now. I will say the care given is great, but we won't be going here anymore due to the high pressure sales situation they've put us in too many times. We have a 22 lbs beagle. Almost everyone that meets her says "wow, I've never seen a happier or healthier beagle". She is lean and fit and still looks like a puppy, she's turning seven this March. Yet the last several times we've brought her in here Dr. Katie made us feel like we are the worst dog owners ever that are mistreating our beagle because we aren't spending $500 - $1,000 every vet visit from all the extra services they try to push on us. We go above and beyond as pet owners, did the $400 dental cleaning last year, and my wife just had to have a stand down with her to not repeat the teeth cleaning again this year. I'm sorry, but if a customer doesn't want an extra service, and has a happy healthy dog, probably should ease off on pushing the extra services. Most adults would laugh at a $400 teeth cleaning for a dog, and we did it last year! Yet by not doing it again this year, she made us feel like terrible pet owners. Nope, won't step foot in here again and excited to find a vet that actually cares about the pet and family's decisions, not just tacking on extra services.

Drew Sarmiere

I've had a very good experience with Aspenwood VCA for the past 7 years. I have a cat and a dog and Dr. Grillo has been great. I recommend them, and I'm not easy to please.

Dan Lee

Wonderful staff n dr.

These guys are awsome.

Tiffany Douglas

Jessy Walker

Great doctors. As my 15 year old girl was going downhill, they were honest with me about the expensive treatments that were available, as opposed to giving me fal$e hope. I appreciated their compassion and care for my sick, sweet old Siameser and helped to keep her comfortable in her final months.

Deanna Doolittle

Very friendly and patient staff! My dog loved going here.

Roger Pierce

They saved the life of my pup. Not much more I can say.

Good place to take your pets if you have the time, still had to wait even though had an appointment

Mark Gilmore

Dale Haken

They're all rude and disrespectful to make matters worse and don't care what you ask them to do with that said ,they would not help me to save my cats life or even see if they could have done anything.

Kai Renae

Best, most caring vets in Denver

Dr. Hedlin and the rest of the staff is such wonderful group of people! I'm very pleased with the great care that my cat gets when he's there. It's great to find such a great vet that's close to home, and everyone is so friendly.

Laura Bowers

My husband and I started taking our dog and cat to VCA Aspenwood when we moved to the Glendale area and were so happy to find such a great vets office. So much so that when we moved to a different side of town we continued going here despite the traffic and travel time. Most of the time it is easy to get an appoinment and all of the staff are great. The front office people tend to be very direct and to the point; they always seem very busy trying to do many things at once. All the vets and vet techs are great; they know how important your pets are to you. Dr. Hedlin was so helpful when my senior cat was not doing well, we stayed in contact for a few weeks via email and even a few phone calls just so we were on the same page. They are a little more expensive but well worth the care and compassion they give to you and your pet.

Shannon Callahan

Always quick and friendly service! Staffs and doctors are superb. Not much to say...

Rhaco Rehab

I took my adopted dog here due to a complication with a previous spay prior to me adopting her. She was prescribed antibiotics and Dr. Grillo who was very persistent about aditional test with other non related issues. She wanted to preform a additional surgery, non related matter. I went back a second time and expressed my concerns about the spay site as well as the continually drainages/ swelling. She seemed unconcerned and still wanted to do this additional surgery. Two weeks and over $500 later the spay site was still leaking and swollen. I took her to Belcaro animal hospital for a second opinion where Dr. Bechtold new right away that she was having a reaction to the dissolvable sutures. He removed them and the price was 1/4 the cost of what VCA would have charged me. VCA is over priced and they seem more concerned with adding on additional cost and services rather than solving issues that pet parents are original concerned with.

I couldnt ask for a better place to take my dog, Moona! Dr. Farah always takes really good care of Moona and today I brought my dog in and Dr. Hedlin was excellent as well. All of their techs are good with my dog, especially Ryan. I highly recommend them!

Happy Mom

Great customer service.

Sue Kelly

I was just in with Dr. Kelly this week. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. I thought I would check out Broadview Animal Clinic as a friend went and said it was a lot cheaper. I went last week and it was horrible. I waited over an hour to get a room. They misdiagnosed my cat and prescribed the wrong meds. I could tell something was wrong and got in with Dr. Kelly the very next day. My kitty had quite a few tests done and we are trying to resolve his issues. We were there for 3 hours. I did walk and get a coffee while my kitty was undergoing tests at the suggesting of Dr. Kelly. She is the most kind, gentle and patient vet I have ever met. She sat down with me and we went over all the tests and she wanted to make sure that I understood everything. I will not skimp and go somewhere cheaper again; what was I thinking, this is my baby. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kelly and the vet techs are so kind and gentle with my pets. As for the person who had their cat declawed WHY????? It is like cutting a human's fingers off at the knuckles. I doubt it was a botched job and am surprised Aspenwood even does it. You are not going to get good results by cutting your pet's "fingers" off any way. I would highly recommend this hospital to everyone. I am biased, I prefer to see only Dr. Kelly. Thank you Aspenwood.

Ana Marquez-Grossman

Chance Odekirk

Wonderful staff and the best Dr's.

JB DeVries

Everyone here takes great care of my (sometimes willful) dog. Highly recommended.

Jettie Middleton

Catherine S

I had a cat diagnosed with diabetes, and another vet in the area wanted to treat her with special food only. She declined and lost weight rapidly. Aspenwood put her on insulin and she quickly recovered to the point of not even needing it anymore! My only gripe about the place is that it's almost too busy and physically it seems like an older building.

Trip Riggs

Shirl Norman

If I were just rating the vets, I would give this a four star. Some not all of the support staff leave a lot to be desired. Especially today, When I checked my ShiTzu in today, I was informed by a haughty front desk associate "go outside, she is coughing, we don't have a room and we don't know what she has." I was sent to a very rickety bench with splinters in the heat. This was probably one of the rudest and demeaning displays I have ever seen. If you are going to send clients "out" perhaps you should consider upgrading your bench!!!

Valerie Waltz

Dr. Kelly is excellent!

Nathan G

Emily Sharp

The vets are very kind and attentive, but sometimes the front office staff leaves something to be desired.

Corey McAninch

David, Dr. Hedlin, and Dr. Katie are wonderful people to work with! The experience both of my dogs and cats get are wonderful. The prices you pay are worth the customer service you receive.

Staci Striegnitz

VCA Aspenwood is great! I have been taking my dog and cat there for nearly a year, leaving the vet my family had been using for decades. The first time I came in was with a friends' dog I was sitting. Their staff was personable then and are still personable now. I have an older great dane who has had arthritis since I rescued him at 3.5 yrs old. Dr. Grillo has been very motivated to keep up his quality of life, schedules check in calls when we change his medications, and truly is concerned with giving him the most quality of life. Their pricing is reasonable. I would definitely recommend others who are looking for a great vet at a good value to go to VCA!

Lori Crane

They are all kind an love my kitty. I think the prices are reasonable for vet care.

Karen Dowd

We rate Aspenwood VCA very highly and strongly recommend Dr. Grillo. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to be sure our cat gets the care and expertise she needs, particularly as our cat ages. Dr. Grillo is talented, personable, detail-oriented, organized, and follows up personally as needed. The whole team and the facility are excellent.

Jere Forsyth

The take care of my wee kitty and have coffee too.

Rona Moore

Love the way they take care of our fur baby.

Mark Rubinson

The staff here is exceptional and will go above and beyond to do everything necessary! Dr. Hedlen is a true life saver!!!

Nastassja Garcia

I trust this place with my cat and dog. They are so caring and reasonably priced. The vets call to check in post-appointment. And they are all aware of and remember important events or health notes for my pets. I highly recommend.

David Mosher

Great staff!

Kenyon Tasker

To say VCA Hospital was amazing would be an understatement. They were so friendly and handled the situation more than perfect. I will definitely go back and I will continue to refer them! Thanks for taking care of my dog :)

Bryanne e

Be wary of their "first free wellness check" coupon. If they find anything abnormal with your animal the coupon isn't valid anymore and you have to suddenly pay for a full office visit because "it's VCA policy." It went from a free office visit to check out my dog to $71. Very disapointed in the false advertisement.

Darla Sergeant

They always do such a great job of consulting with you about your pet. Very caring doctors and staff. They try to work with you to the best of their ability regarding cost and what is needed and what is not.

ducki quack

Very helpful people.. They always remember me

Phalon Nolan

Heather Stewart

If you're deaf or hard of hearing, I wouldn't recommend taking your precious fur babies here. Front office staff is rude, borderline discriminatory by making assumptions like assuming I can't speak because I'm deaf and assumed that I lived further away and told me to find a vet closer to home (when this vet is 10 minutes from my house). They also refused to help answer simple questions. I'll stick to other veterinary offices from now on.
