cing vet. We are the preferred emergency, specialty, and referral animal hospital for the Denver and Rocky Mountain Region. As a fully accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), you can be sure that we will continue to strive to be on the forefront of veterinary medicine to help maintain that special bond you have with your beloved pet. Working in concert with the referring veterinarian, this allows our doctors and veterinary specialists to focus their specific knowledge in fields such as: critical and intensive care, internal medicine, oncology, surgical services, and veterinary dentistry. Together with our state-of-the-art veterinary medical equipment, we diagnose, treat, and care for our patients to the highest level of expectation. Last evaluated by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) in December 2013, VCA Highlands Ranch Specialty and Emergency Center continues to perform at the highest level of veterinary excellence we first achieved in 1978! Furthermore, while others may offer an on-call 24 hour emergency service, we go even further and have a veterinarian in-house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Therefore, you can be assured that VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center will always be available to care for your pet when called upon. At VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center, we strive to provide to your pet all the knowledge, care and technical advances in medicine that you would expect from a human hospital. Since your dog or cat can’t speak to the veterinarian, it is imperative that you have confidence in our doctors’ abilities to effectively recognize, diagnose and treat your pet. We fully recognize the relationship you already have with your referring veterinarian and do not see them as competition, but as partners in your pet’s health. This allows the veterinarians and staff here at VCA Highlands Ranch to focus solely on their specialties to the benefit of your pet’s complete health. To keep up with upcoming events we will be attending, VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center provided or sponsored continuing education (CE), articles, videos or just some random musings from our veterinary specialists and staff, make sure to follow us on all those social media outlets!

Thank you to our incredible team at VCA Emergency Animal Hospital & Referral Center!!

You may have seen Tuesday's SWAT standoff in the news and heard that one of our beloved San Diego Police Department police dogs was injured. That is true. Yet, our valiant K9 Bowie II survived the incident, has been cleared and released by our friends at VCA Animal Hospitals, and is expected to return to duty! His recovery is nothing short of a holiday "miracle."

What's more, K9 Bowie II played a significant part in causing the suspect to give up — and end the stand-off, bringing peace and safety back to our community.

For the past 22 years, every police service dog at the San Diego Police Department has been purchased with funds donated by the community through the Police Foundation. K9 Bowie II was proudly funded through our K9 Program.

Fun fact: his official start date was Christmas Day in 2023!

These specialized canines safeguard public events, find missing persons, locate evidence, de-escalate dangerous situations, prevent shootings, and preserve life.
