It's always been my experience with this particular vet that they will try to up-sell you on things you don't need. It gets very annoying, almost like going to a mechanic who tries to tell you tell you things are broken that are not. Some examples of this are how they push heartworm treatment, (typically not needed in Colorado) pushing de-worming treatments, even when the dog didn't have worms and had already had the treatment on the last visit (they should have seen that in their records) and scheduling multiple excessive followup visits at $40 a pop. They have a young staff that is very glued to their "procedures." This is great, but they should also balance this practice with instinct and common sense. It's not their job to tell you that your 5 month old puppy is undisciplined (aren't they all) or that you shouldn't use a specific medicine or treatment that you've successfully used for years. Wait times were about 25 minutes (past appointment time) and we were the only ones there. Overall, they mean well but just need to polish their business and mannerisms a bit. They're a small town clinic with a lot of potential to be the "go to" vet for everyone in the area. Hopefully they seize that opportunity or someone else will.

took dog in to remove lump on foot (simple procedure). Older girl (10ish) but had blood work done, no other medical issues. She died during recovery - with 'oops sorry' and only cost $600 to kill her instead of $900 to remove the lump. Everything I have researched suggests that her oxygen levels were not monitored correctly during the anesthesia process in order to have her heart fail in recovery. Beware

New to Colorado and have had to deal with Expensive VCA clinics in town. My greyhound had an issue with this front paw, and I took him to Living Springs. The staff friendly and professional and took care great care of my dog. Unlike VCA clinics, I did not have to mortgage my home for a vet visit. Quite a drive from Denver but worth it.

I have been using Living Springs for years. They are always so willing and hardworking to find out what is wrong with our critters. Riggin is feeling so much better since Dr. Haught has been patiently trying to get our thyroid dose right. I feel the entire staff goes out of their way to make these guys well no matter what it takes on their part. They really do care about our pets....Thank you
