Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

4.8(833)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot RiNo earns strong praise for compassionate, patient care with anxious pets and surgeons who communicate well throughout procedures. Staff consistently make animals comfortable and go out of their way during emergencies. However, aggressive fee policies dominate complaints. Multiple customers report $85-$89 no-show charges, emergency visit markups disclosed only at checkout, and staff who won't waive fees even when customers call ahead or miss appointments due to genuine hardship. Communication gaps about appointment purpose and cost structure leave patients blindsided.

Five Points Animal Hospital

Five Points Animal Hospital

5.0(65)✓ Verified

Five Points earns consistent five-star ratings for how its vets and front desk staff listen, explain procedures clearly, and treat nervous or energetic pets with calm authority. Dr. Nelson and Dr. Dooley stand out for orthopedic surgery, urgent care squeezed in same-day, and upfront cost conversations that reassure owners before major work. The facility is clean, follow-up calls happen the next day, and pricing comes in below what owners expect from other Denver practices. One owner noted techs could be more patient with excitable dogs. Walk-ins at street fairs and referrals from satisfied clients drive most new visits.

Most visits feel genuinely personal: staff sit with nervous pets, offer treats, and follow up by phone within days. Several reviewers switched their annual plans here after comparing local vets. The main friction points are tight parking, higher appointment fees ($95-100) and nail trim costs ($32), and occasional inconsistency from staff turnover; one customer felt pressured into tests she had already anticipated.
