IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY……

Call 303-420-4422

Indian Tree Animal Hospital
7778 Vance Drive
Arvada, Colorado 80003

Our facility is open 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. If possible, please phone ahead so that we may assist you in deciding the best method for handling your situation. Our front desk staff is trained to advise you as to the seriousness of your animal’s problem. We will make every effort to schedule you as soon as possible. You may be advised to come down immediately in a perceived emergency situation. Our veterinary technicians will be waiting to meet you and to attend to your pet. We have a treatment ward that includes a fully prepared cart of emergency medications, 100% oxygen, x-ray machine, intravenous fluids and shock therapy, and a technical staff fully trained in CPR and emergency techniques.

AFTER HOUR EMERGENCIES….

In spite of our extended hours, there may be times when our facility is not open or available to assist your pet. In these rare situations (generally overnight), our phone system has the capability of forwarding your call to Wheat Ridge Emergency Animal Hospital simply by pressing “0” (Zero) on your touch-tone phone. Wheat Ridge is fully staffed with veterinarians and technicians 24 hours a day. They can answer any questions you may have, and are able to see emergencies throughout the night.

They will notify Indian Tree Animal Hospital of any patients they have seen overnight, and will FAX up-to-date information the following day. Generally, stable patients will be transferred to Indian Tree as soon as possible. We do not utilize an answering service, as we feel direct attention, either by ourselves or Wheat Ridge, is most appropriate in an emergency situation.

After 8:00pm, please call the Emergency & Critical Care Practice at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital on
303-424-3325.

They are located on 3695 Kipling Street, Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033. Wheat Ridge is located just south of 38th Street and Kipling Avenue, near the AutoZone on the West side of Kipling.
