Dusty Plains Veterinary

"Dr. Atkins and all the staff are absolutely amazing! My family and I have been coming here for years. A recent cat emergency we just went through has shown us how incredible Dr. Atkins and the staff are. They are kind, understanding, very knowledgeable, and in every way the best vet we've ever been to. Dr. Atkins as well as the staff explains everything and answer all questions multiple times without hesitation. Our cat fell ill and I had to take him to a 24 hour veterinary hospital in Castle Rock, which definitely didn't hurt, but since we were not willing to keep shelling out the big bucks for more answers, the 24hr hospital recommended euthanasia. We took out cat home to see if he would survive the night, but the 24hr place wasn't happy about it. I had to sign papers, and ultimately they called Animal Control on me. Thankfully, our cat made it through the night, and we took him to Dr. Atkins, who saved our cat's life, never recommended euthanasia, and to top it all off, he and the staff had to deal with Animal Control constantly asking for updates and reports. It was so nice to have Dusty Plains on my side, all while keeping us calm and comfortable in a scary situation. Sometimes we have to use a 24 hour pet hospital, but beware they don't care for the animals in the least bit. In the hour we spent at the 24hr hospital for them to run iv fluids and give him an exam, they charged us over $300, and recommended we spend $130 more to kill the cat. In starke contrast, less than $400 at Dusty Plains got us many tests, iv fluids, x-rays, a bag of high quality cat food, two full days of TLC, and ultimately saved our cat's life. Thank you Dusty Plains, Dr. Atkins, and all the Staff. We really appreciate your true care for the animals and their owners alike. You are the best there is in Colorado!"

"Dr. Atkins is amazing. He listened intently to the concerns I have about my little guy. He explains his thoughts thoroughly and will present you with options, if applicable. He's knowledgeable, compassionate and very reasonable in cost. We're very fortunate to have him in our community. I couldn't recommend him more highly! Thank you Dr. Tom!"

"Dr. Tom is the best! He explains every thing he does and will answer every question.. I have had several emergency visits with my dog Mia Jones. The staff ( are excellent) got me an appointment that day or the next day! Even though I was there for an emergency visit I was charged a regular visit fee and haven’t paid over $300. Thank you Dr. Tom you are the best veterinarian in Colorado!!!"

"We love bringing our animal babies to Dr. Thom. He is always kind, caring and knowledgeable to help us out. He is definitely busy too, but finds time to help! Condolences to him, his friends and family just learning about the loss of his Father. Also, knowing that his Mom's not doing very good either. Our blessings and prayers go out to them now and in the coming weeks."

"Love love love love it there! The only vet I will ever take my furr babies. Everyone there is just so friendly and helpful and gawd I can't say enough good about them. My pups live going there and they are always so kind and just amazing."
