Caring Pathways - Denver Metro

In-home compassionate pet care at life's end. We provide end-of-life care for senior, geriatric, and terminally-ill pets, including in-home euthanasia, hospice, palliative care, quality-of-life assessments, and aftercare services

Caring Pathways was pioneered in 2010 by our founder, Dr. Larry Magnuson, who served the Colorado community for over 40 years by providing exceptional veterinary care. In 2009, Dr. Magnuson realized the great need for compassionate, in-home end-of-life care for our beloved pets. By July 2010, Dr. Magnuson established Caring Pathways in Denver, Colorado. With a compassionate heart and strong work ethic, Dr. Magnuson often worked 80-hour weeks to provide 24/7 support to pets and their families. He then surrounded himself with like-minded team members who shared his passion and his vision, growing our availability and service area. Because of Dr. Magnuson’s passionate leadership in building a supportive team, Caring Pathways in Colorado now consists of over 20 veterinarians and 20+ support staff members serving pet families with in-home, end-of-life pet care services from Castle Rock to Fort Collins along the Colorado Front Range. In 2019, Jeff Lewis joined Caring Pathways as the CEO. Jeff has been involved with Caring Pathways since its beginning and has worked with Dr. Magnuson for over 25 years in previous organizations. In 2020, Dr. Larry retired, but that did not stop him from continuing to provide valuable mentorship to the Caring Pathways family. Caring Pathways now has practices in 4 states. In 2021, Hampton Roads Veterinary Hospice in Virginia Beach, Virginia, joined the Caring Pathways team. Caring Pathways in Charlotte, NC launched in August of 2022. And Caring Pathways in Pittsburgh launched in 2025. The Caring Pathways team is honored to care for the pets and pet families in our community, and it is part of the ongoing mission of Caring Pathways to provide compassionate care, support, and resources. Our team members work together to represent a unified goal of providing the kindest care possible to pets and their loving owners. Dr. Magnuson gives all the glory to God for the continued success of Caring Pathways
