Hometown Care at VCA Highlands Ranch Animal Specialty & Emergency Center

Our exceptionally skilled doctors, board certified veterinary specialists and support staff use our unique training to serve as a compliment to your general practicing veterinarian. We are the preferred emergency, specialty and referral animal hospital for the community. As a fully accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) for nearly 40 years*, we stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine to help maintain that special bond you have with your beloved pet. Our emergency and specialist doctors focus their experience in Critical and Intensive Care, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Surgical and Dentistry Services to act as an extension of your pet’s regular veterinarian.

Your pet will have access to highly specialized veterinary medical equipment to help diagnose, treat and care to the highest level of expectation. Our Role in Providing World Class Specialty and Emergency Veterinary Care 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 cannot speak to the veterinarian, we appreciate the importance 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 we value them as partners in your pet’s health. This allows the veterinarians and staff, here at Animal Hospital Specialty Center, to focus solely on their specialties to the benefit of your pet’s complete health.
