Les estoy muy agradecido por el excelente servicio que ofrecen y por el increíble trabajo en la cirugía a mi perro Miky.

It’s a terrible process to deal with our beloved pets getting sick. They love us unconditionally and all of our love in return can’t tell us what ails them. It’s hard to see them suffer, deal with the cost & even diagnose as a professional.
As a quick aside: GET PET INSURANCE!! Having coverage has save me almost $50,000 through the last 4 years at the cool price of $70/month!
My sweet pup has IMHA which almost took his life 2 years ago and it was thanks to Dr Timian and her amazing team that he’s still here and (usually) thriving. I would give them 10 stars if I could! They’re compassionate, thorough and invested in the lives of their patients & families. We’ve had many issues since his original diagnosis and VRCC has had the resources to get him healthy. This is the place you want to be when your pets care gets serious!

I went here around 1am yesterday. The staff was so gentle with me. The vet recommended I go see my normal vet for more testing the day after, and told me due to my pups age and condition I should prepare for euthanasia soon. He was very gentle with me.
All three girls were so kind to me and my pup too.

I lost her yesterday, and am so thankful she had such kind and professional individuals that helped her through her last night with me. Everyone said how sweet she was. Their service made a huge difference for me and for her.

Thank you for stabilizing her, letting me take her home, and have one last night with her. I highly recommend them.

We had a late-night visit to VRCC with our sick dog. Everyone was very informative and helpful during a tough time for us. We appreciate the professionalism and the kindness that everyone showed. Getting time to say goodbye was so special.

My best friend, Ivy, has been an oncology patient of Dr. Benners since 2023 and we only have positive things to say about her and her team. Yesterday we unfortunately had to visit their ER and we are equally as impressed. Not only did they save Ivys life, but they were fast, thorough, compassionate, collaborative (with me and with her oncology team), and professional. We have always felt like Ivy was the most important patient there, and I think they try to make every pet and owner feel that way. Thank you!

We recently took our two little dogs to our mountain town vet to have their teeth cleaned and have a few dental extractions. Our girl took everything like a champ. However, in hindsight, we see our boy who was muzzled and given extra sedation after being labeled "a bad boy" by the vet, received a more invasive treatment and received only half the pain prescription our girl did, despite both being in the same dosing weight class. The night after the dental cleaning, as his pain meds wore off after he refused his latest dose, his pain was palpable and very obvious. He began struggling to breathe, rapidly breathing, wheezing, and his heart was racing. We rushed him down the hill into town to VRCC. They advised he was in critical condition and they needed $900 to proceed. We proceeded. At 2am on Friday morning, VRCC had a vet and a cardiologist on staff to review his situation. They determined acute heart stress (concerning with his murmur) and aspirational pneumonia. They admitted him and he stayed under their incredibly compassionate care for 4 days and has made a near complete recovery. (He still needs a little oxygen, but we live at 8800 above sea level, so it's to be expected.) Dr Raj and our tech Alisha (sp?) were fantastic and provided multiple updates on his condition each day he was there and never once referred to him as a "bad boy". In fact, they both seemed to really enjoy taking care of our sweet boy and we were impressed with the care and attention we received from ALL the staff, including multiple folks at the front desk. We were impressed enough, we inquired as to whether they provide general veterinary care, but unfortunately, not at present. Good job VRCC in finding and retaining such great staff! I spoke with our neighbor the following day and he advised he too had used VRCC and was pleased with their treatment of his Yorkie when he had acute pancreatitis.

Admittedly, this is a place for folks who have the money and are willing to spend it on their fur babies or for folks willing to get the money needed to save their fur babies life when possible.

As a side note, if you hear of any liquor store robberies in the coming weeks, it wasn't me. I was at my Mom's surrounded by 3 independent witnesses. And I have a kidney for sale on the dark web, if anyone's interested, hit me up. I may lose an organ, but I have my baby boy.

Thanks VRCC!

I’m indifferent on this place, the internal medicine team was lovely, they kept me up to date on my little man while he was in hospital and they were clearly well informed. The doctor who assisted me was really well spoken and informative. Pricing wise this place is quite expensive, my kitty was there for 30 hours and got meds and an esophageal tube placed and it was 4700 dollars. He was sent home after the tube was placed, but they provided me with liquid food for him but did not give me enough of it for the whole week. No one told me it was safe to put blended wet food in there so when I ran out I was very confused. Over all it’s pretty good, if your pet is having an emergency or needs specific care this place will do a very good job.

Our pup was bit by a rattlesnake and VRCC was the second Vet we went to that afternoon. Going forward there is no where else we'll go. Every person I spoke to was eager to help and was going above and beyond. They ensured we we're always on the same page as the Doctor and that every question was answered. Our poor dog had to stay two nights and VRCC called probably 3-4 every 24 hours to give us an update on her condition. They stressed they are 24/7 so if we wake up in the middle of the night stressing about our furbaby, to call them at anytime for an update. Once Cookie was discharged from VRCC they highly recommended a particular post care treatment. A few days later they called again to check on Cookie and even contacted the other Vet to compare notes to ensure Cookie received the best treatment... Without us asking them to! Who does that

I'll recommend VRCC to any other Animal parents in need and God forbid we need an animal hospital again, without hesitation we'll come back here. Cookie is doing MUCH better and I can't thank them enough.
