What recent reviews say

Guardian Angel offers low-cost spay/neuter and emergency surgery in South Westminster with strong staff compassion and quick after-hours response. Pricing is genuinely affordable, but reviewers warn that final bills sometimes exceed expectations due to unclear upfront communication and ancillary charges not always disclosed.

Recent shift: Possible recent operational shift: several reviews mention text-message-only appointment coordination via Alyssa and loss of wellness visit services; this marks a narrower service scope than earlier years.

All Brick Veterinary Clinic LLC

4.0(870)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

All Brick attracts loyal long-term clients who praise its boarding care and some vets' compassion, particularly during euthanasia. However, front desk friction, missed services, and prices that belie its low-cost positioning undermine confidence. Multiple reviewers report failed procedures, spotty callback communication, and turned-away appointments despite advance booking. The clinic lists surgery, dental, vaccines, and emergency services. Staff frustration and turnover are cited by long-time customers. One reviewer drove from Loveland for a cancelled appointment; another paid for grooming never performed and was asked to pay for a redo. A handful of five-star reviews mention Rob and the daycare crew, but newer or one-off visitors describe feeling dismissed at the desk.

Hermosa Veterinary Clinic

4.0(851)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Long-term clients and those seeking budget-friendly care praise Hermosa for affordability and empathetic euthanasia services, with several noting life-saving surgery at costs that made decisions possible. Multiple recent visitors report 30+ minute waits despite scheduled appointments, combined with staff that can feel rushed or dismissive when answering questions, creating friction that undermines the clinic's reputation even among those who value its low costs. The clinic handles complex cases-orthopedic surgery, pregnancy care, diagnostic imaging-and their website lists services spanning preventative care through euthanasia. However, newer clients report inconsistent communication from vets and assistants, and at least one family cited poor sanitation during a C-section procedure and switched to another clinic, saving $1800 on the same surgery elsewhere.

The Vets Animal Hospital

Long-term clients praise affordability and Dr. Sebunya's care, but recent reviews reveal troubling gaps: missed kidney failure diagnosis without follow-up contact, staff conflicts with customers, turned-away emergencies, and unclear consent on procedures. The hospital advertises emergency services but apparently does not reliably provide them.
