Elk Meadow Veterinary Hospital - Evergreen, Colorado

Champaign NineteenSixtyEight

Back again, needed shots updated and some meds, she's unusually calm at Dr. Kutz's office, usually she's a shivering mess at a vet or groomer.

Always a friendly great place for pets and people.

Back once again, another nail problem, split in two, probably from playing ball in the snow and ice. It was not pretty, split all the way up. When I called Elk Meadow they said, probably another treatment like last time, she'd need to be anesthetized etc so I was prepared for another $300 or so fee with included medications as before.

First, I was taken in with her to a room right on time and Dr. Kutz was in right away. He took a look and said, not so bad, we can just clean it up, clip what's left of the nail back a bit and, good to go!

With pain and antibiotic pills, barely over $100.00 - he could easily have gone for the full treatment like last time, tripling the bill, but of course he did not.

We have many vets much closer to home, but for years now have driven up to Bergen Park and Elk Meadow Animal Hospital for a uniformly great experience with a doctor and staff we trust completely.

As always, 'highly recommend'!

Back again - a little emergency with a split nail and they were able to get me in same day.

And again my nervous nellie dog went with the very sweet vet assistant like she was an old friend into the back for treatment. That alone makes Elk Meadow my permanent go-to for veterinary care.

Dr. Kutz came out and told me what she'd need after he got a look, and that it'd be about an hour+, and he was right on the money.

As always, great care, they had to knock her out and remove the thing, hit her with antibiotics etc but she came strolling out (well not so much a stroll, more of a stagger) and has been absolutely fine for 24 hours.

Reasonable cost given it included anestesia, the procedure, medications etc. No complaints when the quality of care is always this good.

Well the review below was about 2 years ago and we've gone to Elk Meadow several times since, and still for us, always a great experience and very reasonable fees - very. She got a full checkup today with me in the room, a couple shots, conversations with the aid and the doctor about her health any issues she's having (none, fortunately).

I really expected a bill in the $200+ range, cause, well vets are expensive. The total was $129 - nice.

But we'd continue using Elk Meadow even if it was pricey, that's not the issue. Our dog is well cared for there, and they are friendly, helpful and informative with us in every interaction.

I think when I read bad reviews - and things go south, anywhere, I realize - that maybe it's 'in the eye of the beholder' just a bit eh

We took our other dogs to Dr. Jason, always a great staff, helpful and friendly and with down to earth advice about the right food and possible health issues. Our first visit with our new dog Poppy was the same quality, and I left knowing we'd given her the best care possible.

Can't wait to get the DNA test back and find out what kind of dog we have!

This place is fantastic! Especially if you like spending money unnecessarily, or dealing with a vet who has the personality of a cigarette butt and the communication skills of turnip.
Being charged $70 for something that was NOT A PRESCRIPTION, which I could have picked up for less than $18 on Amazon is unacceptable and indicative of a vet who is more interested in profit margins than they are in doing what's right for you and your pet.

Took my American Eskimo in for a dental and an eyelid mass removal. Dr. Cristie Kutz and her team were amazing. Thank you for clearly communicating the treatment plan, and informing me on the next steps along the way. I would recommend Elk Meadow to anyone looking for quality veterinaty care for their pets.

We love Dr. Jason and the staff @ Elk Meadow Animal Hospital.
Our dog Charlie has always received great care and we feel supported as his owners.
We have been trusting EMAH for almost 3 years to be there and to take care of whatever is needed for our beloved pooch.
Thank you Dr. Jason and staff!
I recommend EMAH to anyone wanting professional and caring pet care.

We moved back to CO after 12 yrs in Scotland. After a 'not so great' experience at another local vet, Elk Meadow was recommended to me. I could tell straight away we were in the right place just by how my dog was acting. Thor is almost 14 yrs old, has had spinal surgery, another disc issue in his neck, allergies to injections, is on pain meds, has some arthritis and has started with Doggy Dementia. He walked into the hospital and didn't try to leave (that is a good sign!). He loved the receptionist even before getting a treat, when he saw the Vet Tech and Nurse he went straight to them to say HI and get a scratch. He was the same with Dr. Roth. No problems with blood test or urine sample. His new medications are helping him feel better and be more active. I am a happier owner knowing my dog is so well cared for. I'm sure my other dog and cat will feel well loved here too. THANK YOU!

I am so very grateful that I found my way to the doors of Elk Meadows Veterinary Hospital. When moving to a new area, finding new support for competent and compassionate medical care for your pets is high on the list. Drs. Jason and Christie Kutz are setting the bar. In fact - to a person - I find their staff to be amazing. They are responsive, personable, incredibly thorough and thoughtful about you as well as your pet! Perhaps my highest validation is to relate that I truly believe their timely and thorough care saved the life of my 14 year old Aussie who had what I think was a rare immune condition. Happy to report she is doing fantastically well today. I not only highly recommend these doctors and practice. I will go nowhere else.

We use Elk Meadow for our 8 year old Husky and our 6 month old German Shepherd. The staff in the office could not be nicer or more knowledgeable. We meet with Jason, and our dogs are at such ease with him, and he thoroughly explains every option every pro/con to help make the right decisions for our Puppy. We had a great vet in Parker as well, but moved outside of the Evergreen area, and could not be happier with Jason & his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I take whatever opportunity I can to tell everyone about the great care and kind service I have always received at Elk Meadow. Dr Jason is very knowledgeable and updated on the latest findings and care strategies. My giant dog is a bit of a sissy. Everyone at the office does whatever it takes to make him feel as comfortable as possible and make sure he has the best visit he can. The free vaccinations for life is a tremendous program and not just some gimmick. These are the kind of people you know by name and say hello to on the street, the folks who sleep at the clinic with your animal after surgery - or take them home.
