Arvada Flats Veterinary Hospital

My dog recently passed on thursday (12÷3÷15) peacefully in her sleep, a mess i could only think of one place to call to handle her cremation. and that’s arvada flats! My family and I have been taking our pets here for some time now, and every time we do there are no regrets. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and very compassionate towards every one of their patients. Definitly recommend Dr. Bassett, but the other DVMs are great too :)
Thank you to the staff at Arvada Flats that have helped with Sadie Newman and Molly Clark-​Newman

I have taken both my puppy and cat to this vet on multiple occasions. Overall the facilities are nice and clean and all surgeries have been done well with no issues. My problem comes from the fact that they are VERY opinionated and will not hesitate to make you feel guilty if you disagree with them. We found an abandoned cat about a year ago who was at most a year old. She had been out on her own for a while and had issues with her claws so we decided to do a declaw procedure. Every staff member who we spoke to from the vet to the person setting up the appointment gave us a lecture on how we were basically abusive but if we were going to get rid of her because the procedure wasn’t done then they would do it. We never said anything about getting rid of her by the way, and NEVER would. I understand that this is a controversial topic, and for that reason decided to let it go, but I love that cat so much I do not appreciate being treated like that. You have said your piece and we have made our decision so please stop. We decided to give them another shot when we adopted our puppy and wanted to get him neutered. We got the same hassle that it was not right for us to do the neuter at that time (4 months). We still went on with surgery as we were obligated to get him neutered under Colorado state law because he was from a rescue. When we picked him up they were saying how happy everyone was going to be that he was leaving. Apparently, he was whining, but not so bad that he had to be sent to the «back» where the problem dogs go but «he almost did». Excuse me? He is 4 months old, waking up in a strange place in pain and on drugs… who wouldn’t whine? I have spoken with a few other neighbors and relatives that have been here and said that they had similar issues when setting up appointments and after picking up their pets. Personally, I understand that everyone has an opinion but this gets to a point where I do not want to come back. We pay a lot of money to care for our animals and that money is better served somewhere where the animals and owners will be respected.

Would not trust anyone else with my dog. He is family, loved as such and deserves the best of care. I have been using the docs here for 7 years and if I die and come back as an animal… hope my owners will bring me here as well!

Had an incredible experience at this vet. 5 stars all around! They treat your pet like one of their own. Definitely recommend going here for your furry friends!

So I love the veterinary staff of Arvada Flats. I agree with everything the other reviewers here have said. The staff is friendly, caring, and always give a variety of options. They are realistic in terms of what needs to be performed versus what additional things could be done to help your pet; yet are not necessary if you have money constraints. They are also able to get your animals in quickly.
I have been bringing my older mini schnauzer here since we moved into the neighborhood when they were in their old building. Once they built and moved to the new building, they brought in a fantastic grooming staff. A year ago my husband and I brought in another mini schnauzer to our home. With that, Arvada Flats received another client.
The reason why I’m dropping my 5 stars to 4 is because recently they let Cary go and now no longer have grooming services. I’m upset because I was never notified and found out when I called to make an appointment. They recommended I move my dog’s grooming to Two Ponds on 80^th and Hoyt. So Cary’s mom, Linda is back to grooming my schnauzers. The only problem I have is that I absolutely loved Cary as much as I loved the rest of the staff at Arvada Flats. To be quite honest I’m devastated over this change. My youngest schnauzer who can be a pain in the behind had developed a wonderful relationship with Cary. I’ve honestly considered moving my dog’s veterinary services to Indian Tree because I’m so upset over this, but realized that seemed very irrational. I’m begging Arvada Flats to bring back Cary! She was as gentle and loving with my dogs as you all have been. (Or at least message me and let me know where I can find her.)

Bumped up again. We recently took our almost 16 year old kitty in on a weekend suspecting a UTI or kidney failure. We explained that at 16 years old, we were not willing to spend a fortune to extend her life or prolong any pain or suffering. Dr. Larson was so caring and emphatic. She did not pressure us to proceed one way or another, and she was very respectful of our boundaries. Turns out the kitty did have kidney failure. After counseling me on the options, we talked it over and my husband and I made the very difficult decision to put her down.
We made our decision on a Sunday, when this clinic was closed. We took her elsewhere to have her put to sleep, and I called Dr Larson first thing on Monday morning to tell her. She was so very compassionate, and she reassured me we’d done the right thing. A few days later, the office sent a condolence card, which I still have up on the fridge.
Fast forward 2 months, to today. We check the mail and get something from CSU, stating that a donation has been made on our kitty’s behalf to a cat research project. I am just blown away by the thoughtfulness of this gesture. The office did not have to send as card, but they did. They did not have to make a donation for us, but they did. They went above and beyond to provide excellent, compassionate care, not just to our animals, but to us as well.

WE have been bringing our animals here for 6 years. They are caring and compassionate. My doggies are not the most willing going to the vet but the staff here is excellent. I appreciate the care they have given my 2 dogs and 2 cats (who have since passed away). Great Vet!

I’ve taken my pets here since I was a kid. This place is awesome! They do their job throughly and are always kind and sweet to my pups!
