Southern Rockies Animal Emergency + Specialty

Let me start by saying I have worked in this field for a long time, and I had just moved to CO this last week so unfortunately I had not been able to establish a new vet for my fur babies just yet. This place was able to get me and my sweet rabbit in for an emergency euthanasia. The care they provided from start to finish was excellent. I was very nervous since this was new to me being on the other side of the euthanasia, (not being the one to place his IV catheter, etc) the receptionist answered every question I had with patience and understanding, the technicians were beyond kind and compassionate and the doctor was wonderful as well. They gave me all the time I needed and I could tell they cared about the animals in their care. They answered every question I had and made this hard time as easy as they possibly could for us. So from the bottom of my heart thank you to the entire team. You are all amazing.

We drove up from Pueblo on a Sunday. We expected a wait because this is not somewhere that you can schedule an appointment. Other pets in more critical condition arrived after us and understandably were seen sooner as they were more of a priority. We were there approximately 3 hours. A little pricey but we expected that as well since this was an emergency. They took great care of our Rocky and we felt that they genuinely cared about our pet. Gave good after care instructions and medication. Thank you for everything!

If I could give 10 stars I would because this place went above and beyond my expectations we took our German Shepard puppy here when he started vomiting I have two other dogs who have had blockages so that’s what I thought I was dealing with. I immediately brought him in and we were put in the back room within a few minutes. The wait time was about an hour, but coming from a person who lived in the middle of nowhere in Michigan that’s nothing compared to what I’ve dealt with before, they ran some tests and turns out my boy had Pavo this is something I’ve never dealt with and I made that very clear. The staff was extremely supportive. My boy Stayed in the ICU for the weekend and was able to come home the following Monday he was a little rough but with the medication and support from the staff at the hospital, he had an amazing recovery so fast of a recovery our routine vet was shocked that he had such a fast turnaround time. My husband is active duty military and he would call at two or three in the morning just to get an update and I myself would call every couple hours and every time besides maybe once or twice everybody was extremely helpful and answered any questions or concerns even a week after we left the hospital thank you thank you thank you.

Unacceptable behavior. Horrible attitude from the front desk. Maya the technician was amazing, kind, respectful and caring. Dr. Driscoll was kind, intelligent and was able to provide help for my dog. The two woman working this night shift ( front desk ) have been absolutely horrendous and unacceptable customer service skills. We have been waiting 3 hours and have not even gotten close to getting my pet in a comfortable situation…. Unbelievable and unacceptable….. It’s so sad they have only one technician helping several pets at night during emergency hours. do not come here unless it’s your last resort ….

My dog, my friend, Rocky, started acting strange and having problems breathing. I ended up taking him into Powers Pet Emergency early on a Sunday morning. The staff was fantastic and gave my dog immediate care and attention. When it was all said and done, Rocky took a turn for the worse and did not make it. It was heartbreaking and crushing. That being said, Dr. Driscoll and her staff did a wonderful job taking care of things and providing me with an opportunity to say goodbye to my dog before he passed. They did everything they could to make him comfortable and give me transparent guidance. Thank you...
