I absolutely love everyone here!! Our pup had a growth in her throat and we found out with going in for a cleaning!! Dr Shiarella is amazing and knows what he’s doing and is very good to our pups!! You can tell how much he loves what he does and does it to help the animals and families! The cost of care here helps so much too! I cant speak highly enough about the amazing care we have had for our pups since going here!! I give 10 out of 5 stars!! He definitely saved our girls life!! Not to mention all the girls that work here are so loving and compassionate!! Thank you for everything you guys do!! I’ll be sharing your clinic with people I know for sure!! We won’t go anywhere else!!

If you’re looking for an honest, no-BS veterinarian who’s straight to the point, doesn’t push unnecessary treatments, and has very fair pricing, look no further. We’ve been bringing our dog here since 2020 and every visit has been a genuinely great experience. From a broken arm, to cyst removal surgery, to ongoing care for hip pain and incontinence, we’ve always felt informed, respected, and confident in the care our dog receives. Five out of five every single time.

I took my four ratties there to get checked on a couple weeks back. One of their (I assume) litter-mates passed from an unknown illness not too long ago. The wait was quite long, but I just read in my car & let some of my girls crawl around in/on the hoodie I was wearing, so that's a non-issue for me. Besides, I had arrived in the afternoon; I imagine morning might be quicker to some degree. Anyways, when it was my turn in the queue, someone came out to the car & let me know, & I followed them inside. The (vet) doc was knowledgeable about rats & took a couple extra measurements (my girl, Milk, is bit on the heftier sife already—such a cutie) just to make sure evererything was okay with my ladies. He gave them a clean bill of health, but provided me with light medication for them, just in case—rats are known to have weak respiratory systems. All of this came out to under $40. Other places I called wanted to charge me more than double that for a single rat, which I am unable to afford. On top of that, the doc seemed a bit quirky in a charming way. That somehow added to the experience for me. TLDR: Knowledgeable vet (at least for rats), longer waits (perhaps shorter in the mornings or on other days), but cheaper pricing.

We have been using this clinic for 15 years. The staff are kind, caring and helpful. I love the walk-in availability. No other clinic in Denver offers this without a huge emergency fee.

My wife and I have been bringing our dog to Dr. Shiarella at Western Animal for many years now and really like his straightforward style and the crew at the clinic. Recently we had to escort one of our most beloved dogs across the rainbow bridge and could have not asked for a more compassionate and caring environment for our pooch to move on. We will continue to keep coming here for as long as he is still in business.

I've seen so many vets over the years and Dr. Shiarella is definitely the best one. The entire staff is caring and kind. He is superbly smart about so many things. Before doing blood work, he could smell that my girl had kidney disease. He's the only vet that does reasonably priced dental work. And I got used to showing up without an appointment -- now I love it! Much gratitude for Western Animal Clinic.

I had an amazing experience at this vet! They were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they took the time to thoroughly explain everything about my cat’s condition. The assistant and the front desk staff were also wonderful – very friendly and helpful. While we did wait about 1.5 hours in our car, it was absolutely worth it. The vet's care and attention made it all worthwhile. Plus, the prices were extremely reasonable – probably the most affordable vet I've been to. My cat had an infection in his back foot, likely from a fight with another animal, and they treated him with steroids and antibiotics. I’m so grateful for their excellent service and care! Highly recommend this clinic! Pulque says thank you!!
