It’s happening. September 7, 2024, 10am to 1pm! We finally got all of our equipment and our…$h!+…mostly together. Curious about what our entire hospital looks like? Come check it out and see that “the back” ain’t all that scary. Be there. Or be square. Brunch snickety snacks and goodie bags for the first lucky folx to show up. Pets obviously welcome, but not required.

First procedure day in the books! We are scheduling dental cleanings and surgeries so call or email if your pet needs anything! Anesthesia can be scary to think about and we’d be happy to talk about the risks vs benefits for your specific pet after an exam.

Meet Flora, our Monstera deliciosa mascot, AKA Swiss cheese plant. She works on beautifying the front of our clinic while staying safely behind the front desk. Her leaves are irritating, or dare we say spicy, for dogs and cats because they have calcium oxalate crystals in them. It’s considered toxic, but not typically lethal. The calcium oxalate crystals are needle-shaped and can poke the soft mucous membranes in the mouth. Lots of pets (including Dr. Erin’s cats) are still tempted to chew on them and can experience drooling, intense burning or irritation of the mouth, tongue, or lips, vomiting, or even difficulty swallowing. Every once in a while, that can mean a trip to Fauna for some treatment to calm things down internally. Call us if you need help! It’s worth setting plants like this outside of dog and cat reach to enjoy from afar. A baby gate can keep some dogs away, and a closed off room or office can deter cats.

Enjoy some pictures of this beauty unfurling her latest leaf with some fenestrations!

We have some exciting news! Our online pharmacy is OFFICIALLY live and available for our clients! We partnered with Blue Rabbit because our priority is making sure you and your pet are offered safe and effective prescriptions from a trusted source. Their platform integrates better with our system and prevents those big corporate pharmacies from mining your personal info. Need some meds for your pet? Text us, call us, or email us for an appointment and then you can get it from our online pharmacy. Easy eh?

Keith's a Registered Vet Technician (Colorado), and has a MA in history...so now you get why there are posts about the building's history .

We're located on the main floor of the historic Viceroy Hotel, which was built in 1926. We found this amazing photo of the building in the 's archives circa 1930s. How freakin' cool that a dank new vet clinic (is that what the youths are calling it??) is in the space that Robins Drugs used to be. Almost, but not quite, full circle. Stop by (in 3 short weeks) and see what other awesome architectural and historic gems can still be found!
