Sploot Veterinary Care - Platt Park, Denver
Why Pet Parents Love Sploot
Everyone was extremely kind. They had treats and tennis balls for positive reinforcement which was great because my dog gets anxious at the vet. They were clear in their pricing and detailed with what treatments they provided my pup. Very grateful to have found a lovey neighborhood vet!
The service is impeccable. Incredible friendly staff, clear and consistent information about pricing and care. Also they gave a ball to my Wally dog which he immediately destroyed yet still throughly enjoyed himself while waiting for his results. The flexible hours and convenient online scheduling are a huge benefit in this wild world. Thank you team Sploot!
They have fair pricing, options for same-day or urgent care style vet visits, multiple locations so if I need to get in, there are options, and they always text me before and after to check in about my dogs. Overall, the Clinic is very modernized, clean and efficient. Every veterinarian I have seen has been wonderful at explaining everything and providing me a price quote before we move forward. Will definitely be staying with Sploot and i highly recommend!!
Highly recommend Sploot! Way different than most other vets. It’s so clean, welcoming and everybody is friendly. We walked in on a Sunday with our sick kitty, and they were able to get us in immediately. Pricing is fair and service was great. Will definitely be using them in the future!
Sploot was amazing. The workers were extremely friendly and made me and my pup Bodie feel very at home. They gave him a great examination and went over pricing and side effects with me before giving him his treatment. We will absolutely be returning!
I took my sweet pup in to be seen when he was having some kind of reverse sneezing that was concerning. I walked in around 7pm and they got me in so quickly. They were so sweet with Bo and with me, so reassuring, and checked him out completely. I had so much confidence in them and they put my mind at ease. They even checked in on him today and the pricing was relatively cheap and explained up front. Love this place!
The staff at Sploot was very professional and friendly. They always kept my pets comfort in mind and were very clear about pricing the whole time. Awesome experience all around!
"What a great experience! We were floored with our first visit. A refreshingly modern and pup-first approach to pet care. Dr Jake was a dog whisperer in getting our sometimes (okay always) ornery Bernedoodle to relax for a shot...The digital scheduling and billing makes logistics a cinch- will be recommending Sploot to all of our pup Scout’s friends!"
"I really appreciate how Dr Jake took the time to let my dog warm up to him, and even lick cheese off his hands, before jumping into the exam. Everyone involved had the dog in mind, making the experience as comfortable for her as possible".
