Mountain Shadows Animal Hospital

We were traveling and camping and one of our three dogs developed vomiting, loose stools that progressed to bloody stools and was not eating and unable to keep water down. The staff was so helpful and friendly and Dr. Ryff and team were kind enough to fit us in. When Dr. told me he would treat him and he should be better soon, I almost cried. I was sleep deprived with him being up all night sick and fearful for our little guy as we had no idea what might have caused this. I am so grateful to Dr. Ryff who could have said they were too busy and turned us away but didn’t. Thank you so much for your help and excellent treatment and for a reasonable cost. He’s already feeling better!! ❤️❤️

My father and I had taken our 2 cane Corso’s for ear crops and asked for a specific ear crop and showed pictures of what we wanted and got something totally different. On both dogs the ear crops aren’t even symmetrical on each cut there about half an inch in difference. I highly recommend people avoid taking their pets here for any type of ear cropping. We contacted them in regards to the terrible job and got told we could drive 5hrs and go back and have them reattempt the surgery. I have also been in contact with another vet that has over 30 years of experience in ear cropping and have been told that he Dr. Rift did a horrible cut and that having a 2nd ear crop is detrimental to the pups demeanor.attached are both dogs ears along with the crop we asked for.

My cat was literally dying from kidney damage. Dr Kitt kept her for a week. She is still weak and wobbly, but at least she's still alive. She just Won't transition to the wet food h

We received great service with compassion today. We had what I thought was a scary issue with our little grand dog today and they got us in immediately. I’m pretty sure we took up some of their lunch time but they never acted like we were a nuisance. They took excellent care of our pet and their front desk made us feel so welcome. Just excellent!

First visit since relocating to Salida. Nice office and friendly staff.
