Elk Creek Vet - La Jara, Colorado

Jeremy has ALWAYS treated our animals with care and respect. He never hesitates to answer a 2am call. He has been to our farm multiple times in the middle of the night. Whether it’s to assist with a calving situation or stitches for a horse, he never complains. He and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable. We’re lucky to have Jeremy!

Took my Siberian Husky who is 9 weeks old, for his first shots and who has a small hernia. The staff was very friendly as soon as I got there. Scheduled surgery for Hernia is in December but I wouldn't take him anywhere else. Highly recommend

Terrible experience. ZERO compassion. Felt rushed in the final moments with my pet. This is an honest review so it will probably be taken down. Go else where if you want your last moments with your pet to be in a peaceful kind environment.Kindness goes a long way. I’ll keep adding to reviews if it deleted again. No pet parent should have to experience what I did. Be kind.

DO NOT TAKE your pet there! The " vet" did maybe a 10 minute look at our dog ( listened to the lungs and heart) and gave vaccines. Our dog is blind and the "vet" just took a glance.

I have taken both my dog and cat here and have always had an amazing experience! I’m so thankful for Dr. Sowards! I had to take my kitten in a few weeks back because she was acting very different and was always hiding. They got her in early and within seconds Dr. Sowards saw she had an abscess. He drained it and by the next day, she was back to jumping all over the place and cuddling me again! She has healed extremely well! Bonus, they were very inexpensive! He will be the only vet I trust with my animals!

The ladies of the office were polite. The doctor was surly, rude, didn't even introduce himself, was told my pet's name SIX times and didn't listen, then rather than giving me a reference to have my pet's nails clipped, which the dog had never had done. I wanted his nails gradually reduced to avoid quicking and bleeding. My dog was quicker badly TWICE , bled again after I got him home and he's now limping thanks to a vet that was more polite to visiting cop friends than to this new customer. We won't be going back.

DR, GET SOME MANNERS!!!

We took our Shnouzer to this clinic as she was not feeling well. The vet gave her a shot and said she would be fine. She died later that night. Took our other two dogs back for vaccinations and told him about the dogs passing, and he said nothing. Recently took another dog that needed stitches and was told he did not have time for her. The only reason this clinic is in business is because he the only game in town down here. His "bedside" demeanor sucks and he has the personality of a stump! Take your pets elsewhere if you want a vet that at least acts like they care.

The vet tech was amazing! She was very kind and was super loving to my puppy! The vet was over an hour late to the appointment, didn’t even acknowledge or apologize for being late and was just overall really mean towards me and not nice towards my puppy. Didn’t tell me what he was treating my dog for or what the treatment plan was. He was clearly running behind so he rushed through my appointment to keep moving. I wasn’t aware they gave my dog an injection and the vet offered zero solutions to how to get my puppy to eat/drink. I’m at a loss on where to take my dogs in the future because I’ve just had terrible experiences with everyone in the valley. I had high hopes because the tech was so sweet, but the vet being a jerk really killed it for me.
