This animal hospital is amazing, caring and just as concerned about your pet as you are. We have twice had serious and immediate issues with our dog and they have been more than willing to fit him in and give him excellent care.

I took my dog to Longspeak Animal Hospital and after the Dr checked him over they presented me with a bill for over $131.00 although they originally told me around $40.00. It so hppened I needed to take him back a second time and Dr. Davison told me the cost for that visit would be $27.00. I repeated back to her the $27.00-$29.00 and no more, she said oh yes it will most likely be $27.00. When I went to pay my bill I was presented with a bill for $42.00. I will never take my pet back there again. I would rather drive to another city than to go back there. I feel like they are in the practice all for the money not so much because they care for the animals. After reading some of the other reviews I thank God that my dog wasn't sicker than he was.

Switched over to this vet about a year ago and so far so good. Their working hours are simply amazing and one of the main reasons I selected them plus a couple of recommendations from friends. Being able to make appointments on the weekends is great for working parents who simply don’t have the time on the weekdays. FYI; I did find the other review referencing the rattle snake bite interesting as I had an appointment during the same event at 4pm. They asked me if I would rather reschedule or wait, so I waited about 20 minutes before seeing the vet and went on about my day. I was actually impressed by them pushing normal nonemergency appointments off to give the dog their full attention and staff, it’s what I would have wanted if it were my dog.

Debra Davison is a horrible vet. Do not let this woman treat your pets. She almost killed mine by rushing into a diagnosis which was incorrect. We took our dog in as he had been sick (vomiting, no appetite, lethargic, etc) for a few weeks. The hospital took four x-rays - none of which showed anything unusual or abnormal. However, Davison became convinced, despite no actual proof, that my dog had some type of obstruction in the stomach or intestines. Instead of taking time to run all appropriate tests and consider all options, she practically forced us into a $3500 exploratory surgery. I even asked her if there were any other options or tests we could do before surgery and the only things she came up with was either an ultrasound or a barium contrast x-ray - both costing over $500 and according to her, not very reliable. No once did it ever occur to her to mention a quick, painless, and inexpensive blood panel. Only by sheer luck did she run a blood test before starting the surgery, then informed me, "It's a good thing I did the blood panel first, if I would have put him under anesthesia, he probably would have died." She admitted to my face that she almost killed him out of negligence and impatience, and made it sound like she was some sort of hero for saving his life. Even if he had survived, it would have cost us the $3500, plus he would have still been sick! I don't trust this woman, her judgment, or her ability to safely practice pet medicine. Beware!

Yesterday, I was faced with the toughest decision I've ever made. I had to put my 16-year-old Shitzu, Mitzie, to sleep. I chose Longs Peak Animal Hospital, and I couldn't have been more pleased with their service. The receptionist was very professional, and asked to go into a room where Dr. Jessica Russell met us, and was very thorough in explaining the process--but the most important thing is that she sympathized with us, and handle our beloved Mitzie in a very gentle and caring way. I recommend Longs Peak very highly, not only when you are facing a difficult time like this, but for all your pet's medical need. I just moved to the area, and I am going to have my other pet, Nugget, as a patient in this clinic.
