Urgent Care

Please contact us if you think your pet is in need of urgent medical attention during our normal business hours.

During Open Hours

During open hours, we offer three ways to help sick or injured pets:

Regular Appointments
Urgent Care
Emergency Walk-Ins

If your pet needs same-day care, please call or text us at (720) 600-2450 first. If a regular appointment is available, we will schedule your pet that way. If we are fully booked, we may offer an Urgent Care check-in time.

Pets who arrive without an appointment or confirmed Urgent Care check-in time may be handled as Emergency Walk-Ins and may have longer waits and a higher fee.

Mon 8:30-5:30

Tue 8:30-5:30

Wed 8:30-5:30

Thu 8:30-5:30

Fri 8:30-5:30

Sat Closed

Sun Closed

Urgent Care and Emergency Walk-In patients are triaged promptly, but treatment and discharge timing depend on medical priority. You need to be prepared for extended wait times and you may need to leave your pet with us for the day.

Same-Day Sick & Injured Pet Care

My pet is sick/injured and CBAH has a regular appointment opening

Regular Appointment

For sick or injured pets when a standard appointment time is available. This is the best option when your pet needs care but the schedule still has openings.

CBAH is fully-booked, but my pet needs same-day care

Urgent Care

When our regular appointments are full, we may be able to see additional sick or injured pets through Urgent Care. Please call or text us first at (720) 600-2450 so we can confirm a check-in time and make sure your pet’s condition is something we can appropriately treat. Urgent Care has a higher visit fee than a regular appointment: $135.

Even with a confirmed check-in time, Urgent Care visits may involve a long wait. In many cases, you should be prepared to leave your pet with us for part or all of the day while our team works them into the schedule based on medical need.

I arrived without an appointment or a confirmed Urgent care check-in

Emergency Walk-In

Emergency Walk-In visits are for pets who arrive without a regular appointment and without a confirmed Urgent Care check-in time.

These cases are triaged right away, but the wait may be extended, and you should be prepared to leave your pet with us for the day. Emergency Walk-In visits have a higher fee than Urgent Care: $165.

Information and FAQ

Call Ahead

Please call ahead so that we can triage your situation and be properly prepared to provide the best care to your pet. Also, a confirmed Urgent Care visit costs less than an Emergency Walk-In.

In-Hospital Treatment

In some situations, we may need you to leave your pet with us to be admitted and treated throughout the day. Our team will keep you updated on your pet's progress.

What Will Be Different?

The care received by Urgent Care is the same high level of care we provide for all of our patients. Some differences may include: - You may not get the same amount of face-time with the doctor as you would during a regular appointment. -You may communicate with other members of the team as we accommodate multiple appointments. -We may need to communicate with you throughout the day if we have had to admit your pet.

What Is The Cost?

Please note that there will be an additional appointment fee for urgent care visits. This fee helps us accommodate urgent cases within a full schedule while ensuring the best care for your pet. -Urgent Care $135 -Emergency Walk-In $165

Wait Times

Please be aware that, as these are unplanned visits, there may be wait times. With Urgent Care/Walk-Ins, our team prioritize cases based on the severity of the condition. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we strive to provide the best care for every furry friend that comes through our doors.

How about Overnight or Specialty Care?

While our hospital can treat many types of injuries and illnesses, some conditions require specialized equipment and/or the care of specialists. Also, some conditions may require overnight care and monitoring which will mean transfering to a 24 hour emergency clinic. If this is needed, our staff will coordinate and facilitate the transfer to a specialty or 24 hour emergency clinic in the area.
