Our Mission
“Colorado Vet Surgical (CVS) was established to simplify the pet surgery experience for your entire family.”
CVS partners with your regular veterinarian to provide access to a veterinary surgical specialist who works with the vet you’ve trusted with your pets for many years. This collaboration offers both convenience and the expertise of a surgical specialist at your family’s regular vet office.
With CVS, you can continue to rely on the familiar staff and doctors to care for your pet before and after surgery. This eliminates the need to travel to large veterinary referral centers, particularly when your work schedule, daily life, or your pet’s medical condition may not allow it. We are proud that at CVS, you can receive care from a boarded veterinary surgeon without having to travel across the city or state or leave your pet in an unfamiliar environment.
