Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital

My dog developed tremors and was throwing up so we called Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital. It was 1 am and I am so glad they were close by and open. My dog was seen very quickly and everyone working that night was so kind to us and most importantly, my dog. You could tell they cared and were there to help. Communication was clear and she was diagnosed with mycotoxicosis (Mold Poisoning). She must have gotten ahold of something with mold when romping around outside 🙁 She was given an IV and stayed overnight in the ICU so they could monitor her and flush out the toxins. They let us say goodbye/good night before we left which was so nice and thankfully my dog was already responding well to the IV. The team was super kind, informative, and caring. I picked her up the next day with some medication (muscle relaxers to help the tremors go away). Thankfully after taking the meds, my dog was back to 100%. I’ve seen horror stories about dogs getting into mold so perhaps my dog didn’t ingest a ton but either way, watch out for compost, moldy garbage, or whatnot and if your dog has tremors, seek help immediately! Thank you so much Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital! From Stella and Sailor 🐾

We can’t express how grateful we are for Dr. Bridges, Dr. Rasquinha, and the entire front of house staff at WRAH. The level of care and compassion received following our pups freak spinal injury is something that we’ll be forever grateful for. We hope that anyone reading never needs emergency neurology care for the fur babies, but if you do, we can’t recommend Dr. Bridges and WRAH enough. We’re happy to report that our Potter girl has made a tremendous recovery and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do.

Unfortunately my Frenchie, Guy Jones decided to eat a thick hair tie today… Normally with bigger dogs i would have just let it pass, however considering he is a 16lb little Guy we needed to get him to throw the hair tie up before it had a chance to do damage. The vets here were very quick to help him, induced vomiting and got the hair tie out. The receptionists were professional, clear and helpful. Everyone i saw coming in was getting the same quality treatment i got. I feel comfortable returning when Guy has an emergency.

We had to bring our beautiful dog here to say goodbye. It was the middle of the night and such a scary situation, and the vets and front desk people made us and our girl feel so comforted. We were given all the time and space we needed with her, and she was able to finally feel some comfort and peace thanks to them. It was also a very reasonable price which we are so grateful for. I would recommend them to anyone.

If you are looking for extraordinary veterinary care, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital is truly something special. Over the last year of our golden retriever’s life, we had the privilege of working with Dr. Prink, Dr. Siewert, Dr. Ahuja, and Dr. Meola. Each of these incredible doctors played a critical role in giving our dog an additional 14 months with us, time we will forever be grateful for. When he was diagnosed with cancer, we were completely devastated. Wheat Ridge stepped in with expertise, compassion, and urgency. They not only treated his cancer, but gave us the priceless gift of another year of memories together. The entire team embodies professionalism, trust, kindness, knowledge, empathy, and respect. Doreen at the front desk is consistently warm and supportive, and Bri in internal medicine is truly an angel. The care and love she showed our dog during his hardest days meant more to us than we can ever express. We drove over 30 minutes each way for appointments because this hospital and these people are 100% worth it. We will never forget the kindness and support shown to our family at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital. Thank you for everything.

Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital staff and doctors are absolutely amazing. From reception to billing to vet techs to veterinarians...everyone is truly caring and very good at what they do! Which is loving animals. Jenni Bridges was simply amazing. We can not say enough in praise of her skills, love, and passion for what she does. We are forever grateful for helping our boy, Maxwell, walk again! The love and care that the entire team puts into helping the animals in our lives that mean so much to us. They are family.

I debated writing this review but I am at my wits end with this place. My Great Dane was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and I wanted to inquire with an oncologist about the newly FDA approved Laverdia CA1, made by the company Dechra specifically for lymphoma. He was a patient there last summer, a traumatizing experience I’ll get into, and I’m just trying to find access to this drug since my Dane was given a life expectancy of 1-2 months. Apparently to speak to an oncologist, he had to be seen by an oncologist in the past. Well it was a surprise to me to hear that an oncologist never looked at Eli back in July even though he was admitted for stomach cancer (diagnosed by my General vet). In fact, after I spent $9,000 the multiple vets looking him still could not tell me what was wrong with him and why he wasn’t eating or drinking. They all gave me different information, one told me he had a UTI, then when speaking to a different vet the next day he didn’t even know about a UTI. They kept recommending he stay in the hospital even though they were getting no new information but expecting me to keep financing overnights and tests that lead to nothing. He was eventually diagnosed with a heart condition (something he was tested for the first day), but there are still many unanswered questions about his bloodwork and the mysterious UTI only half his caregivers were aware of. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone seeking quality care for their pets. I am heart broken about my Danes diagnosis and called to ask for help and advice from an oncologist about a potentially life saving drug and I’m assuming they’re going to want to charge me over couple grand even for that. I feel like they care far more about money than they do about their patients.
