VIDA Veterinary Care - Denver

Honestly I've been coming here for 7 years now, as it covers all my cats needs for both the regular appointments, as well as the after hours or emergency needs for any sudden events or accidents that my cat has made over the years. Always happy to see my cat, willing to talk me through bills and procedures, provide info about care after any surgeries, and have managed to help keep my costs fairly low for major procedures. Overall, I would always recommend their services, and have done so in the past. Photos are just my happy cat, but hey - it's due in large part to Vida!

I love this vet office, get it has emergency hours. All the stuff are friendly and caring. Took dog here when she had a accident and got her nail caught. They took care of her right away. They do all her shots and listen with any questions I might have. I moved far away compared to when I picked this vet but staying with them, they are worth the drive.

I cannot thank Dr. Schroeder & the staff at Vida enough for their care with my kitty. I brought my cat in after moving and her not eating for quite a few days. While other vets panicked & scared me more, the Vida staff treated me with empathy & compassion. They got me in for a regular appointment within an hour and a half of opening following Labor Day weekend! Thankfully we had a best case scenario & my kitty’s blood test came back great. Within a few hours of an appetite stimulant & fluids my kitty was back to eating & feeling noticeably better. Thank you again!

Brought my baby budgie here a few months ago for a check up. The vet did the exam cross-legged on the facility floor because an exam table was apparently unavailable, even though I'd booked the appointment in advance. The vet seemed misinformed about budgie gender indicators. She misgendered my baby budgie and then casually told me that my older, 2nd budgie (who was at home) was very likely a male with cancer, and would die soon due to the red/brown cere color. (A red/brown cere is typical of female budgies during mating season, although it can sometimes be a sign of hormonal problems or cancer in males). When I became distraught, the vet backtracked and said she couldn't determine any illness without seeing the other budgie. This experience was upsetting for me and I was disappointed in the vet's lack of bedside manner. I was also grossed out that the exam was performed on the floor. Furthermore, I called the office twice with follow-up questions regarding the baby budgie and neither of my calls were returned. I'm giving two stars because they offer emergency, after-hours care. From now on I'm going to a different vet. Adding a photo of the egg that my very much female budgie laid. VIDA staff - please take care with your language in the future, and buy a few more exam tables!

A couple months back, I had to take a bunny that I was pet sitting in because of a fight between two bunnies. She had to get stitches, and they took really good care of her. Last week, my bunny ripped his nail while running in his bedroom and they bandaged him up and gave him pain medication. Both times they were kind, did good work, and explained directions and answered any questions well. I don't like going to the emergency vet, but feel confident in their hands.
