What recent reviews say

GoodVets RiNo earns consistent praise for putting animal comfort and owner trust at the center of their practice. Staff greet pets with treats and floor-level patience, follow up by phone or text after visits, and work with owners on bills when finances are tight. Concerns center on parking, appointment fees climbing toward $100, nail trims at $32 (vs. $15 elsewhere), and occasional pressure to run tests owners question, plus turnover that can disrupt continuity. Weekend urgent care and same-day booking are genuine assets for owners caught off-guard by illness.

Recent shift: After one year as a customer, one reviewer noted plans changed to cover less, increased staff turnover began despite good experiences, appointment costs jumped significantly, and attention to detail (e.g., old creamer) declined. This suggests some operational scaling challenges over time.

Five Points Animal Hospital

5.0(65)✓ Verified

Reviewers describe a consistently calm, professional clinic where Dr. Nelson and Dr. Dooley earn trust through attentive listening and clear explanations. Surgery outcomes, same-day urgent appointments, and follow-up care stand out, with staff who handle anxious or large dogs well and provide transparent pricing upfront. One reviewer noted a handful of techs seeming impatient with excited dogs, but this appears isolated. Five Points serves families seeking stress-free handling and owners of dogs needing orthopedic or mass-removal surgery, from routine vaccines to complex cases.

Livewell Animal Hospital of RiNo

4.9(168)✓ Verified

Livewell RiNo wins loyalty for its vets and care quality: reviewers praise Dr. Kramer and his team for listening without rushing, reading anxious pets carefully, and calling post-surgery with updates. Most say they feel welcomed and get same-day appointments with minimal wait. However, two recent visits turned sour over front desk interactions with a staff member (possibly named Isabella), described as rude and dismissive. One long-standing client withdrew trust entirely after the vet recommended ignoring an eyelid growth that later caused permanent eye damage. That reviewer also cited unnecessary services added to bills, raising questions about billing practices for anyone with complex cases.

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

4.8(833)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot earned strong trust from pet owners who appreciate the staff's genuine care, quick availability, and gentle approach with nervous animals. Reviewers named specific staff members like Dr. Mattie Newman, Kortnee, and Jade as compassionate advocates for their pets' wellbeing. However, billing practices have created serious friction. Multiple reviewers were hit with $85-89 no-show fees, with some sent to collections over missed appointments. Others discovered they were charged "emergency" rates upfront without being told, or faced dramatic price jumps compared to other clinics. These grievances, especially around transparency and fee severity, undermine the positive clinical experience for a vocal group of frustrated customers.
