VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center

For over 40 years, VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center has been dedicated to providing the Denver metro and Rocky Mountain Region with 24 hour emergency and specialty veterinary care for your pet, day or night, 365 days a year. Our exceptionally skilled staff, doctors and board certified veterinary specialists are uniquely trained to serve as a compliment to your general practicing vet. We are the preferred emergency, specialty, and referral animal hospital for the Denver and Rocky Mountain Region.

As a fully accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), you can be sure that we will continue to strive to be on the forefront of veterinary medicine to help maintain that special bond you have with your beloved pet. Working in concert with the referring veterinarian, this allows our doctors and veterinary specialists to focus their specific knowledge in fields such as: critical and intensive care, internal medicine, oncology, surgical services, and veterinary dentistry. Together with our state-of-the-art veterinary medical equipment, we diagnose, treat, and care for our patients to the highest level of expectation. Last evaluated by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) in December 2013, VCA Highlands Ranch Specialty and Emergency Center continues to perform at the highest level of veterinary excellence we first achieved in 1978!

Furthermore, while others may offer an on-call 24 hour emergency service, we go even further and have a veterinarian in-house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Therefore, you can be assured that VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center will always be available to care for your pet when called upon.


At VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center, we strive to provide to your pet all the knowledge, care and technical advances in medicine that you would expect from a human hospital. Since your dog or cat can’t speak to the veterinarian, it is imperative that you have confidence in our doctors’ abilities to effectively recognize, diagnose and treat your pet. We fully recognize the relationship you already have with your referring veterinarian and do not see them as competition, but as partners in your pet’s health. This allows the veterinarians and staff here at VCA Highlands Ranch to focus solely on their specialties to the benefit of your pet’s complete health.
