Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care services include wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to ensure long-term pet health. We conduct nose-to-tail evaluations, lab work, and customized vaccine schedules tailored to your pet's lifestyle. Regular checkups help detect early signs of illness, promoting longevity and quality of life through proactive care.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia ensure thorough oral care, complemented by home maintenance guidance. We address plaque buildup, gum disease, and dental trauma while prioritizing pet safety with pre-anesthetic bloodwork. Post-cleaning recommendations include brushing techniques and tartar-control products to maintain oral health between visits.
Surgery
We perform spay/neuter procedures, mass removals, and specialty surgeries with strict safety protocols. Pre-surgical bloodwork, IV catheters, and advanced monitoring ensure patient safety during procedures. Our partnerships with board-certified surgeons allow access to complex procedures like gastropexy while maintaining high post-operative pain management standards.
Imaging
Digital X-rays and ultrasounds help diagnose fractures, organ abnormalities, and pregnancies with precision. Non-invasive imaging techniques allow us to detect foreign bodies, tumors, and soft-tissue issues without sedation when possible. Board-certified radiologists perform ultrasounds on-site for accurate diagnostics and timely treatment planning.
End Of Life Care
Our end-of-life services include compassionate euthanasia in a private comfort room with grief support resources. We offer cremation options, paw print memorials, and referrals for at-home euthanasia services. The team provides 24/7 grief counseling access to help pet owners navigate the emotional challenges of losing a beloved companion.

Had a great experience with my dog at Columbine Animal Hospital. He can be a nervous dog but the veterinarian, Dr. Perrow was awesome with him and so knowledgeable. Everyone from the front desk staff to the technicians were great!

Columbine Animal Hospital is awesome!! On Monday July 12, 2021 I needed to find a vet who could see my dog asap! She had been very sick going on 5 days. I called multiple places that told me they had no immediate openings. When I called Columbine Animal Hospital they told me they could see that afternoon! YAY! The staff was so warm and friendly from the first phone call all the way through her aftercare. I was impressed by their friendliness, professionalism, and the warmth and care they showed to me and my baby, Chloe. Vet recommended fluids, a shot and some medicine to take home with us, and

Angel dog got her teeth cleaned this week. She was anesthetized and therefore a bit groggy, which was to be expected.. I was given a pre and post conference so I would know what to expect. Her teeth are so much better and so is her breath.. The treatment was exceptional and everyone at this animal care practice works hard and is very helpful.
