Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital at CSU Spur

This is a wonderful place! The people that work or volunteer are amazing. This is a very difficult job you see such sadness a lot of the time. The joy when a forgotten animal gets a new forever home makes up for the sadness. They have state of the art facilities that offer so much to the public. There are two operating rooms, one to do dental work on cats or dogs. The other for spay or neuter for dogs or cats, as well as other surgeries, that you're welcome to watch! I've watched them grow and it's a joy to see what they do and to know it's growing all the time! These people are Heroes! Save an animal from being alone, they will adore you forever. Thank you for your time

I am a low income Senior, just the sort of client this veterinary clinic and hospital is supposed to serve. When I brought in my cat YumYum because he was not eating the vet undertook various tests costing $200 and concluded he had an obstruction in his stomach requiring emergency surgery. I authorized the operation, costing about $1,000, and it turned out no obstruction was found. When YumYum did not eat or drink after the operation I took him to a private vet, who replaced the improper Elizabeth collar with which he had been fitted with a proper one which allowed him to eat and drink. The vet also expressed surprise that YumYum had not been given an ulltra-sound before the operation, which is routine in diagnosing stomach obstructions in cats. I brought YumYum back to Dumb Friends Veterinary hospital two weeks post op to remove the stitches and was charged an additional $135. I also signed a monthly payment contract for the $500 balance on my surgical bill. When a few weeks later YumYum began to vomit and I realized he might still have medical problems that would require costly veterinary care, I called the “financial counselor” at Dumb Friends and asked her to forgive my remaining payments so I could pay for the new care YumYum might need. She refused, as did her boss. Although I can forgive the possible malpractice YumYum and I received at Dumb Friends Veterinary Clinic and Hospital I cannot forgive the hypocrisy of Dumb Friends in advertising its core value and service as being compassion for low income pet owners and their pets, like YumYum and me, and then denying me this financial relief. Based on my overall experience I advise low income pet owners in Denver to avoid this facility. NOTE: In view of the "response by owner," concerning whether ultrasound is considered part of a normal workup for stomach obstruction in a cat, here is what Google AI says: "Yes, an ultrasound is considered a standard test to help diagnose a stomach obstruction in a cat, often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools like X-rays and physical examinations, as it can effectively visualize the stomach and identify potential blockages or foreign objects within the gastrointestinal tract." This is in addition to the comment of the private vet I had to take YumYum to -- because the Elizabeth collar they fitted him with after the operation was the wrong size and type -- that she was surprised ultrasound was not used before they operated on him.

I cannot thank the team at the Dumb Friends League Veterinary Hospital enough for the incredible care they gave my dachshund, Daisy, during her recent dental procedure. From the moment we arrived, we felt reassured by their kindness and professionalism. Daisy needed dental extractions, and the compassion and attention she received throughout the process meant the world to us. The care they provided was not only exceptional but also affordable—far more reasonable than other places we explored. But what truly stood out was how deeply they cared. The day after Daisy’s procedure, a nurse called to check in and answer all our questions, making sure we felt supported every step of the way. We are so grateful for their thoughtful and dedicated service. Daisy received the best possible care, and we can’t express how much we appreciate their efforts to make this experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for treating Daisy like your own!

I have had 2 dogs fixed here..and they treated my babies like their own. And when pick up time came..they made SURE they're clear that the cones on the heads stay on.. because they care. And my babies seemed to be pain free by day 3 and surgery site both times looked nice and clean and just a Great job! TY Dumb Friends League Veterinary Team

I recently got my cat Fiona spayed at Dumb Friends League at Spur and was so pleased with my experience. Affordability wise, they knock other facilities out of the water. To get Fiona spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped I paid $115. As for the facility, it is incredible. There is a separate location for dogs to get checked in to avoid any unwanted interactions. Many people were also getting their cats fixed and the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and kept the line moving. They spent time with each owner, including myself, to review all the processes and wants. At pickup, I was given information from the staff, on a exit paper, and via email. There is a parking lot and plenty of street parking, including spaces in front of the doors for pick-up/drop off. I deeply and highly recommend Dumb Friends League at CSU Spur for your fur babies!!
