Had to euthanize beloved cat. They were so very compassionate, professional, and responsive. Left water bottle there in grief and they still had it when I returned for ashes. They use Lasting Paws for memorial services (paw prints, ashes) and it was very well done. Thank you!
Absolutely enjoyed the Vet but the lack of communication beyond that is horrible. We sat in our vehicle from 12:30-6 am when they finally told us we should go home and come back in an hour. We had an in person interaction with Brittany and then a phone conversation with her as well, both times she was rude and very condescending. They kept saying "we will call you in a few minutes" and wouldn't. When I asked Brittany if I could get a call back her response s was "this is an ER and we have a lot of patients and will see what ... read more

We are deeply saddened to hear of your phone interaction with one of our staff; this is not reflected of who we are and, we can confidently say, not the norm for our amazing team. If you're open to providing more details to allow us to provide coaching, please reach out to our Practice Manager, Kayla at Kayla@animalERcare.com. Thank you.
My dog had gotten hurt did not know what it was took him to animal er care they got it figured out fast were very careful with my hurt dog and always keeping me up to date on his progress and were so friendly to me my mom and uncle
Spoiler alert: the worst ER service here in Colorado Springs! I checked my dog in via the online system they have set up at around 8 AM. I also called to check-in just in case. They gave me an "estimate" time of 5-7 hours. I was okay waiting this long because my dog wasn't as critically ill as others and it's an ER, so wait time is eI waited 3 hours in my car and then went into the building because my phone had died. I told the front desk "Hi, I'm just letting you know my phone died in case you needed to call me & let me kno... read more

We appreciate your feedback. The surge in need for veterinary care continues nation-wide and some patients cannot book an appointment to be seen by their regular veterinary for weeks out. This has caused a dramatic increase in emergent and non-emergent cases that are referred to emergency clinics. As our caseload continues to increase, we continue to search for and hire staff to help with the unprecedented need for veterinary care and like a lot of industries this can be a challenge today. As we continue to hire staff, w... read more
We brought our dog in at 11:00am and he stayed there till 8:00pm that day and was not seen at all during that time due to the dogs with bigger issues being put ahead of him. We called several times throughout the day to see when he would be seen and there were always 2 to 3 dogs ahead of him. It got to the point where there were 6 dogs ahead of him in the early evening. The people we encountered were very nice and kind to our dog. There just seemed to be a big shortage of Dr's on staff and we wish they let us know early on o... read more

Thank you for your feedback. We continue to review our processes and protocols to help see as many patients as we can. Also, we continue to hire staff as our caseload increases. Truthfully, staffing shortages is a growing issue in the veterinary community nation-wide and we are doing our best to keep up with the high demand caseload. Most general practices, urgent care and emergency clinics are turning away patients, but we strive to help every patient that walks through our door without turning anyone away. This can ca... read more
I can't say enough great things about this place! Dr. Julie Hesse... THANK YOU for all you do and for taking such great care of Oliver for the night. Even with a broken heart you and your staff helped make the transition bearable.
An excellent animal ER. We took our cat in on a Sunday, and they took great care of her. I am especially impressed at the high level of communication and compassion of the staff. Gil especially is very good with cats and keeping us informed what was going on and what to expect next. Much appreciated. They're also very mindful of COVID-19 precautions at this site, which is great to see.
Business response:
Thank you for sharing your experience with Animal ER Care; we're glad our team could be here for you and your sweet cat during such a difficult time. Gill is one of our many talented staff members here at Animal ER Care and knowing he and our team were able to make such a difficult time a bit easier is heartwarming to hear. We appreciate your time to write such a wonderful review and wish you all our best.
I would like to say "Thank you so very much" to Dr. Price, Dr. Doyle, Dr. Cordelli, and the entire staff of Animal ER, as well as Dr. Miles and the entire staff of Southern Colorado Internal Medicine for taking care of my 19-year-old cat Monster and me too. Monster had been on chemo for over 4 years for small cell intestinal lymphoma. We just moved to Colorado Springs from San Diego, which was a long trip for Monster as well. After being here for a couple of weeks, Monster got so sick he couldn't even walk at times to his fo... read more

Dr Price and Dr. Doyle are some of our many caring staff members here at AERC and we are happy to hear they were able to be there for you in your time of need.
Okay, so on Christmas Eve our little puppy Daisy was not feeling too well. So we found this hospital on Yelp with good ratings! We decided to go there. As we went we needed to park and scan to register our puppy. We did so, and waited. And waited... and waited. We went in at about 945am and was not scene till 3pm. Yeah 5 hours of waiting was not the business. We knew they had to go in order of priority and yet they were short staff. They didn't have a second doctor just one. Which was odd. Anyways, I'm not trying to bash the... read more
