Red Rocks Animal Center
Staff earn consistent praise for compassion and gentle care, and the $25 first exam brings many through the door. The friction comes later: pharmacy orders get lost for weeks with no follow-up, phone calls go unanswered during emergencies, and some reviewers report missed cancers and infections that other vets caught quickly. One owner waited over 90 minutes; another arrived for a quoted $300 X-ray only to be told it would cost over $800 with mandatory sedation and kenneling. Long-term clients with stable pets see Red Rocks as dependable and affordable. Owners facing acute problems or needing diagnostics often encounter communication breakdowns and diagnostic concerns. The contrast between their gentle touch on routine visits and their struggles with follow-up care is sharp enough that some reviewers regret switching away.
