VCA Deer Creek Animal Hospital - Littleton, Colorado

They left my dog's IV in today.
After being referred here by another vet for my dog's seizures, we left with no answers and no treatment plan other than to go somewhere else. We also asked for medication for my dog's ear infection, which the Dr. forgot about.
This is not what I have a problem with. What I am furious about is that they left the IV in my dog's arm, not once mentioning it was still in there. Her arm wasn't shaved, so the tape ripped out her fur no matter how carefully we took it off. This is a very disgusting treatment of an animal you are supposed to care for.
Leaving an IV inside of a patient is dangerous and lazy. You can't even say it was out of convenience for a future veterinarian to use, as they don't. You wouldn't send a human home with their IV still in. Why is it okay to do to a dog?

I had a senior dog of 12.5 years that in early January 2025 I established as a new patient with Deer Creek Animal Hospital. He had been having some issues and I wanted to have a clinic close by in case he needed them. I set up an initial visit with one of the doctors and he was very thorough and suggested some bloodwork and an ultrasound. Dr. Lupe listened to me about my dogs history and what was going on. I was very comfortable with his recommendations as I was seeking answers as to why my boy wasn’t feeling good. Several days later he had the ultrasound which showed a softball size tumor on his liver. Very sad day for me and my pup as he was my best friend.
I can tell you that the staff at Deer Creek was incredible from the day I went in to make his 1st appointment to picking up his Urn. Their kindness and compassion was very touching and they helped me make the decision to put my boy out of pain more acceptable. From every phone call to visit and afterwards they were helpful and I’m grateful to them.
Thank you.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Iliana’s help today and for the entire team’s warmth and competency!

After my dog had been very sick for a few days and our actual vet hadn’t had any openings this week, I took my dog to VCA Deer Creek Animal Hospital this morning. I called in at around 8:30AM and got a same day appointment for 3PM. Before hanging up, the nice lady on the phone told me that she’s torn whether she wants to stick to the 3PM appointment or even declare my dog’s case an emergency since it seemed pretty severe to her. She told me that she’d check with one of the vets to see what they think, and not even 30 minutes later, I got a phone call again where they told me that they didn’t want my dog to be waiting in severe pain until 3PM and that I could come in right away if I wanted to.
Once there, everybody was utterly friendly and welcoming! I got checked in super fast and was provided a room only 5 minutes later. While the nice vet technician and Dr. Iliana were running tests and x-rays, they cared enough to check in with me and update me about what’s going on at least every 30 mins so I would know what’s going on with my little girl. Every dog mom can imagine what it would’ve felt like to sit there for hours not knowing what’s happening, so I am very grateful for the team’s great communication!
They were able to help my dog, provided me with medication, and even called me again in the later afternoon to see how she was doing. Also, Dr. Iliana mentioned on the phone that she had taken a closer look at my dogs X-rays again to make sure she didn’t miss anything (talk about a thorough and committed vet!), and while doing so, found something else that wasn’t even related with today’s problem but she found worth mentioning.
After such a great experience with Dr. Iliana going above and beyond today, the entire team being so incredibly helpful, communicative, welcoming, thorough, and going the extra mile for me and my little girl, I can only recommend this clinic, and I’m actually considering switching from my current vet to to there now for any future incidents.

I can’t say enough about the incredible care and compassion we received at VCA Deer Creek. Our beloved cat, Dave, was facing a difficult situation, and from the moment we walked in, the entire team treated us with kindness, patience, and understanding.

Dr. Kelly Breslin and the staff were not only thorough in evaluating Dave’s condition, but they also took the time to explain everything with such empathy. When we learned that he needed eye removal surgery, they didn’t just deliver the news—they walked us through the process with genuine care, making sure we understood our options and felt supported every step of the way.

It’s never easy to face tough decisions about a pet’s health, but the compassion and professionalism shown by VCA Deer Creek made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for their dedication to both animals and the people who love them. Thank you for treating Dave like family and giving us peace of mind in such a challenging moment.

If you’re looking for a veterinary team that truly cares, this is the place to go.

Started coming to this vet because of their dentist. My dog needed to have a deep dental cleaning and because of his age and heart condition I wanted to make sure he got the best care by board certified veterinarians. Dr. Ken and Dr. Grimm did a wonderful job getting his dental health on track so that he would have many more years to spend with us. I am eternally grateful to the entire team at Deer Creek Hospital that was involved in taking care of my baby and returning him safely to me.

This animal hospital helped immensely, getting us through a very tough time. If I have a complaint at all it is that the pricing is to high. But regardless, we had an emergency and were thankful this place was there. The staff and doctors are great, I have no complaints there. I must also say that when it came time to say goodbye to our furry family member I can’t imagine a nicer send off than what this place provided. Over all I was pleased with this hospital and everything they did to try to help figure out and solve the sudden unexpected issue that prompted us to seek help. Sometimes there just isn’t anything that can be done and if or when that time ever comes again with another furry family member, I will not be going anywhere else but here to say goodbye.
-Thank you Deer Creek Animal Hospital for all you did to help, and also for taking the sting out of an otherwise very painful and unexpected goodbye.

Our 8 month old 50 lb puppy hurt her back leg/hip because she likes to jump four feet into the air like an idiot.

She wouldn’t put any weight on it, was visibly in a lot of pain, and wouldn't take her fav treat.

From our panicked phone call, to leaving the clinic— Everyone was really kind, informative, helpful and very sweet with our puppy.

Highly recommended!!! Thanks to everyone who helped us and Nora today.

Deer Creek did an amazing job on our Foster Great Dane’s laparoscopic neuter and gastropexy. They care so much about the animals, and working with the rescues to ensure giving all of the second chance animals the best shot at a great new life. Our foster dog hasn’t tried to touch any of the surgery sites yet in 3 days, Dr. Markee Kuschel did such a clean job. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤️
