Veterinarian Kit Ryff is easily the most experienced & knowledgeable vet in the region. Mountain Shadows Animal Hospital's staff is the most comprehensive & caring. The breadth of Dr. Kit's knowledge of both small and large animal treatment is breathtaking. The fees are refreshingly reasonable for the loving & expert care pets receive. Simply put: Mountain Shadows Animal Hospital is the finest veterinary clinic in Colorado. ?

Recently spoke to Susan at the front desk about our dog not feeling well. We are getting ready to leave on vacation, and he will be staying with family. She was so friendly and helpful! I took her advice, and our dog improved in a couple of days. No appointment needed. Very thankful!

Kit is an amazing vet. Has taken care of my animals for 30 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. Last of the old country vets.

It’s taken me a year to be able to write this review. I lost my dog, Koda (shepherd, 8 years old) to cancer in October of last year. He was my best friend and meant the world to me. I came to this vet because he had been losing weight. They took blood samples and told me I would hear back the next day. 3 days later, I hadn’t heard from them yet, so I called. They told me they had the blood samples but he didn’t know what they meant. I asked for a copy of their findings, and with a quick google search of his levels, found out it was likely cancer. The vet decided, rather than refer me to a place that could do scans and more thorough research, to change his diet. Fast forward 2 weeks, my dog had lost 10+ pounds, and couldn’t keep food or water down, and the diarrhea continued. I finally decided to bring him to an emergency vet in Colorado Springs who, within 45 minutes, were able to tell me my dog had multiple tumors and cancer. I had to put him down that day. Had this place been able to decipher his bloodwork or refer me to a better equipped veterinarian, I may have been able to save Koda. Because his body had become so weak and frail, he couldn’t handle the treatments that could have saved him, and I had to put him down.I don’t think this vet is a bad person, and the staff was very kind and friendly. I do think he treats your animals like livestock, not family, and should be better about admitting when your pet needs more help than they can offer.

Everything online says our cat should be seen within 24 hours. We have fourteen days of waiting with these guys. We had been elated with their service until this episode.Moving elsewhere for the emergency needs of our pets. What else can we do?

Dr. kitt and the whole staff are so good to my baby Otis! Prices are more than reasonable for the services offered and I’ve not had a bad experience here ever! Otis just had his teeth cleaned, but to my pleasant surprise they also did his nails for me thanks Mountain Shadows for taking good care of my fur baby (and me) ❤️

So grateful for this clinic!!! I called them frantic at 5:20pm because my dog had just gotten a fly fishing hook lodged in his side while playing in the river, and we couldn't make it to the clinic before their 5:30pm close. They agreed to stay open late to see me, and not only removed the hook after-hours but since my dog was already sedated, the Dr. also took the initiative to remove two cysts that I knew would need to get surgically removed sometime soon. I had been told by two previous vets at other clinics that the cysts would require full anesthesia and intubation, which I was quite nervous about with an older dog, and which seemed pretty excessive given that they are just superficial skin cysts... it seemed to me like a local anesthetic and sedative should be fine. Fortunately this Dr. agreed that such intense anesthesia was not necessary, and he took care of them in one fell swoop along with the fish hook, saving us from another much more intensive surgery and likely several hundred dollars in vet fees had we gone elsewhere for the cyst removal! We were there until past 7pm by the time all was wrapped up. This vet and clinic are down-to-earth and caring and willing to go the extra mile, even for a brand-new client they'd never met before who called them a few minutes before closing time!

My dog tore his nail nearly off on a Sunday evening; I couldn’t find anyone to see him in BV so I started looking in Salida. I am so happy to have found this Vet; when I explained what happened and that I was in a pinch, I was told to come right over and that they’d fit me in when they could. Everyone was super nice and caring, and more than accommodating. The Doc was kind and explained what was going on and what needed to be done… I was seen basically right away and in and out very quickly. Everyone fussed over my boy and made him feel very special, and to top it off, I was really pleased with the bill and found the cost of service to be very reasonable. Thanks Mountain Shadows for the wonderful care and service!

I am so disappointed in this hospital. I took my cane corso puppy to get her ears cropped not long ago and her ears look absolutely horrible.. I am embarrassed of them.The staff it’s self was okay during the process they were nice and took good care of her but the crop it’s self is hideous and I will never ever bring any of my dogs or suggest this place.

My Mom and Sister took our new Puppy, Molly here. They both were extremely impressed with the Dr. and Staff. And Molly seemed to love them too. ❤❤?
