In Memoriam
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our colleague and friend, Melody. Melody was a dedicated team member who brought deep compassion, dedication, talent, spirit and warmth to every day. Her commitment to excellence and genuine care for others left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of working alongside her.
Melody will be remembered for her kindness, integrity, and the positive energy she brought into our workplace. She exemplified the values we strive for and enriched our community in countless ways.
Melody will forever be with us in spirit, and will continue to guide us in our pursuit of excellence.

We are a full-service companion animal care hospital in Montrose, Colorado,
offering exceptional state-of-the-art medical care.
We strive for perfection in the care of your furry family.
Communication Code of Conduct
Our practice strives to have clear, calm, polite and respectful communication with our clients. We all need to be respectful of each other’s time and strive to have efficient and effective interactions for the benefit of all.
These ideals facilitate positive outcomes in all aspects of our interactions. Without this cooperative effort there can be challenges that adversely affect the experience for everyone. We will not tolerate offensive or aggressive communication towards our staff.

- Bart
πΎπ November Pet of the Month: Bart! ππΎ
Meet Bart, our November Pet of the Month, proudly owned by Gary and Joanie! ππΆ
Bart loves spending time with Mom and Dad running through the countryside and going camping. He enjoys being around water, although swimming isn’t really his thing! π¦ What he does love, though, is bath time, especially when it comes with a good old-fashioned towel rubdown! ππ§Ό
His favorite toy has quite the story! It’s a well-loved, no-longer-squeaking pheasant bird that Bart originally borrowed from the neighbor’s dog. Mom and Dad have tried returning it several times, but Bart has other plans! He sneaks right back over and steals it again and again. Apparently, it’s just too good to give up! ππ¦
And when it comes to treats, Bart has a taste for the fresh stuff! His absolute favorite? Snow peas straight out of the garden! π«π±
Congratulations, Bart! We’re so happy to have you as our November Pet of the Month! Give that sweet boy some extra love (and maybe keep an eye on that pheasant bird)! ππΎ
