My husband took our dog there this long weekend on Sunday as his suture site from mast cell tumor had completely opened up. He waited for a couple of hours and a vet tech gave him some guaze with cleaner on it. Told him to keep it clean and see vet on Tuesday. Today, My Grand champion show dog is now in surgery for emergency closure and antibiotics.
Business response:
It's our understanding that our triage nurse shared the estimated wait time for all non-critical emergencies that day (5 - 6 hours), extended due to the high influx of life-threatening cases. Based on that information, it is our understanding that your husband chose to leave instead of continuing to wait in our triage line. We strive to set accurate wait-time expectations for every client and are understanding when a client elects not to wait. Our triage technician provided what guidance she could when your husband shared h... read more
Staff communicates well, seems very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. From the first communication to release of my dog I felt confident that he was in good hands and received excellent care. I was visiting from out of town and was lucky to find Animal ER Care. Due to covid the wait was a little long but to be expected considering everything going on with new protocols for intake and the examination. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your strong endorsement, we are happy we could be there for you and your fur baby during your time of need. Your understanding and kind words during this challenging time is appreciated! We wish you safe travels home.
I wasn't even going to complain too much until I received the $54.22 bill for not seeing my puppy. But, after the interesting conversation I already had with the facility, I feel that it's my duty to let the public know before I contact my attorney. We arrived on Friday evening at 11pm with a sick pup (didn't eat dinner and started vomiting at 10pm followed by diarrhea). Having a puppy with parvo many years ago that spent 2 weeks in ICU, we don't take chances with those symptoms. They came out an hour after we arrived to do ... read more
STAY AWAY FROM DR. BECKER. She is a "know it all" and will not listen to your input after giving a half-assed look at your dog. She also decided to say something useful, then pretend she never said it when she realized I was in agreement with her. This is NOT someone who should be in medicine. I feel bad for anyone she's encountered in the past. I've come to this clinic more times than I can count and spent TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HERE. NEVER have I had such an encounter with such RUDE, CONDESCENDING VET. She needs to h... read more

I've been here multiple times and I just cannot say enough about the care of this place. With Covid in place they are doing curbside. The staff was incredible. They kept me updated and Dr. Thielman called multiple times with updates on my dog. Elizabeth was also wonderful and explained everything to me before we took our baby home and answered all of my questions. Thank you again to the amazing staff and care you provide!

It was our pleasure to be there for you. Thank you for sharing your experience and your endorsement!!
This is a must read review for any animal lover and pet owner in Colorado Springs. 2 weeks ago I had to take my Cockashon Yoshi to the ER over on Powers. He had a violent reaction to the pain med Rovera administered after Cherry Eye surgery a few days earlier. Here's the review I wrote after a horrible experience there. https://www.yelp.com/biz/powers-pet-emergency-and-specialty-colorado-springs?hrid=Px5WqGolrYchE4dI_Miqog Yesterday, my other Cockashon managed to eat a cherry pit which can be deadly to dogs. I rushed him ... read more

Thank you for taking time to share your experience with Animal ER Care!
The tech that came out to my car to help was fantastic. I was very upset and panicky and she did such a good job speaking gently and being very kind. I have taken my animal here before and was just as impressed with the facility and care. Thank you for being one of the,sadly, few practices that are still professional.

Thanks for the awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we're happy to hear we hit the mark for you.
They have no feelings for animals only the bottom line. When asked to give my dog an IV they stated it would be $1000. They did absolutely nothing even though I agreed to move heaven and earth for my dog. They claim to have paid for services on my behalf when it should have been part of an initial exam. They wanted to kill my dog because I couldn't cover the upfront cost immediately. They are a butcher shop.

Our hearts go out to you and your Family. Sadly, Koji was very ill when you brought him to us. We fully understand that your grief may be driving your review, and you may not recall that we did provide some care free-of-charge, and that our staff reviewed the multiple payment options before you arrived at our facility. Sadly, Koji needed advanced treatment due to how critical he was. If it would be helpful to talk further, we hope you will reach out to Janine, our Practice Manager, at Janine@animalERcare.com or 719-640-0441.
Me and my boyfriend brought his puppy here after he got into rat poison and a tub of cocoa powder. The staff was absolutely wonderful. They were quick to get him back to the room to begin treatment. They were also very honest with his well being and pricing. They have awesome payment options and truly care about the animals. The tech even sent us some pictures of our baby in the ICU (we had to leave him overnight). The vet was very knowledgeable and made the treatment options easy to understand and was very compassionate. I ... read more
