Windsor Veterinary Clinic PC

Dr. Robin is the only vet in Northern Colorado (and we tried several) who could sit on the floor with our highly reactive dog and make him feel comfortable. No one outside of his family members was ever let in like that. I was incredibly anxious bringing Bandit to her but very quickly realized she’s different and she CARES. I didn’t feel judged by my special needs dogs behavior, she understood it and worked with him. Dr. Robin is such a blessing, and comforted us when we lost him.

My cats absolutely LOVE seeing Dr. Robin. She has such a strong connection with cats and she interacts with them in a way that allows them to feel relaxed and even playful during their exams. Even my older cat who is normally scared of everything is relaxed during her visits. At the previous clinic I was going to she would try her best to hide and yowl, and who knows what it was like for her when they took her to the back to draw blood. Dr. Robin does everything with you in the room so you're able to see how you pet is doing and help reduce their stress. When I first started seeing Dr. Robin one of my cats was having weight issues and was more than a little chunky, and no matter what I tried I could not get his weight down. With Dr. Robins guidance and knowledge about nutrition he now looks as healthy as can be. If she brings up the weight of your pet it's not to put you down as an owner, but rather to address the issue so that your pet can live a happy and healthy life. I've never felt like I've been convinced to buy anything unnecessary or overcharged. The fact of the matter is that pets are expensive no matter what clinic you go to, but at least with the Windsor Veterinary Clinic I can be assured that my fur babies are getting the best possible care they could get.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Downing and her practice. Bindi, my crazy husky, gets so excited every time we walk through her door! She is always greeted with yummy treats and a smiling staff. Dr. Downing is extremely knowledgeable and takes it upon herself to stay up to date with the latest research and science. I am surprised to read some of the negative reviews left in regards to a "rude and unprofessional staff", unreasonable prices, and "fat shaming"/ forcing vaccinations. As someone who has worked in numerous animal shelters, I have seen first hand the result of lazy pet owners who do the bare minimum for their animals. I guarantee none of the vaccinations, heart worm prevention protocol, or medications she suggests are unnecessary. If Dr. Downing told you your animal was "obese", I would trust that she is telling you that because she genuinely wants your pet to live a long and healthy life. Now, if you want a quick, cheap, and indifferent veterinarian, Dr. Downing is not it. Her services and care are not cheap because her credentials alone are worth the extra money. I feel fortunate to have found a clinic that cares so much about Bindi, and I highly recommend Dr. Downing to anyone who loves their pet as much as I do!

We have always had a great experience at Windsor Vet Clinic, and Dr. Robin and her staff are amazing! The front desk staff and nurses always get us right into a room to get started, and their entire staff has done special training to ensure our pets are as happy and comfortable as they can be. Dr. Robin has done amazing work with our senior dogs who we just assumed were just "getting old and slowing down", and now they are all very happy and pain-free! There are so many options for vet care in Fort Collins, but when people take the time to really get to know us and our pets and make sure the visit involves the least amount of stress as possible, it is worth the drive to Windsor any day!

Knowledgeable staff, absolutely the best vet care I've had for my difficult dog in his whole life. Not hurried. Complete plan of care given and explained. Dr Dowling is highly educated but down to earth and will explain things at ones level of understanding. Great attitude with my dog, not afraid of big dogs. Uses positive methods.

I can't overstate the positive impact Dr. Robin & team have had on my fur baby's life. After a bad experience with a previous vet, I avoided taking my cat to another. But when I took him to Dr. Robin's office, the difference was immediate -- she was so friendly and calm, even though my cat was very unhappy to be there, trying to bite her, etc. She was able to detect a significant pain issue that was partially responsible for his volatile temperament. After getting him on the right medication and changing his diet, he was like a different cat -- so much nicer, happier, and more active! Their office has cat-specific rooms that offer a more friendly experience to cats specifically, and the team always goes out of their way to make my cat (and me!) as comfortable as possible for his visit. Dr. Robin takes the time to explain everything she's doing and why and goes over test results thoroughly. She's always calm and patient with my cat, even though he is cranky every single time he goes in. This makes the visit much less stressful for both of us. My cat is nearly 17 years old, and I've been taking him to Dr. Robin for more than ten years, even though I live in a Denver now -- it's worth it to know my cat will be getting the best possible care, and I wouldn't consider taking him anywhere else. The team is very flexible in meeting my work schedule (since I travel to bring him in), shipping his medication, and helping me get his prescription food. I can't recommend Dr. Robin enough.

The most knowledgeable Veterinarian in Northern Colorado. I have been taking my animals to Dr. Downing for years and have been able to manage my animals health and keep them happy and content. Is she a little too blunt for some pet owners? Absolutely. Dr. Downing doesn't cut corners when it comes to your pets care. Unfortunately, some people can't handle the truth when they are scolded for over feeding their pets. (I know because it's happened to me! Oops! That little Alphie was tricking us and getting extra crunchies!) Not only did she catch Mufasa's kidney disease early. We have been able to keep it managed and keep him happy and as healthy as possible. But we've also noticed he was grumpy from being in pain. After giving him the prescribed medication he's gotten back to his normal talkative, snuggly self. Drm Downing has helped us with our "overly aggressive dog." Spoiler alert Willow wasn't aggressive, but in fact anxious. After addressing the anxiety, she's a totally different dog who can actually do dog things like; walkies, going for rides and being excited for when people come over and playing with all her toys. (Willow is a tad spoiled.) So, she might "upsell you" but that's not what it is. It's simply being an expert who knows her stuff and will give you what you need to make the most of the time with our animals. Our animals aren't scared of their vet visits, because Dr. Downing knows and actively works with you and your pet to keep them comfortable. Because she loves them just as much as you do. It's just a matter of if you listen to her advice or not. Thanks Doc!
