Adding a veterinary professional associate role would be a dangerous shortcut and hurt the quality of care for our pets.

Proposition 129 is a dangerous initiative on Colorado's November election ballot. It raises serious concerns about providing quality care for our patients now and long into the future. This proposition would allow non-veterinarians, known as veterinary professional associates (VPAs), the ability to diagnose, prognose, create treatment plans, and perform surgery. Rather than creating a new midlevel position for which there is no demand, no validated third-party test to ensure competency of candidates, and no accreditation, we can more efficiently leverage veterinary technicians, veterinary technologists, and veterinary technician specialists to the top of their degrees, and provide the pay and recognition they deserve. As individuals and as a profession we want the best for our pets! Please vote NO.

Due to an unforeseen hardware issue, we are unable to connect with our phones or computer software, therefore we are unable to schedule appointments or refill medications at this time. We are working hard to return to normal business operations as soon as possible. In the meantime, we ask that our clients call Animal Urgent Care or Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital for urgent matters. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these circumstances and look forward to helping our clients and their furry family members.
