Wheat Ridge Veterinary Emergency Care @ Wash Park

As Denver’s most comprehensive emergency & specialty veterinary hospital, our experienced emergency vets and board-certified specialists provide the advanced diagnostics and coordinated care your pet needs - all under one roof

Founded in 1955 as a one-person general practice, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital evolved through a pivotal 1994 merger with Denver Veterinary Specialists that united general and specialty care. As a 24-hour emergency, specialty, and primary care hospital, we provide seamless veterinary services — all under one roof. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our continuous AAHA accreditation since 1963 — becoming one of the first U.S. hospitals to earn Referral Standards accreditation in 2008

Mission — We set the standard for excellence in veterinary medicine because we believe you and your pet deserve nothing less than superior care. It’s important to us to maintain open communication with primary veterinarians and pet owners, ensuring every patient receives compassionate treatment that honors the bond between pets and their people
