Overview

Your Full-Service Vet in Arvada, CO. Since 1967, Jefferson Animal Clinic has provided comprehensive veterinary care, Exotic Pet Services, and Small Mammal Services to pets in the Arvada community and beyond. We would be honored to be a partner in your pet's healthcare

In 1967, Dr. John Gray founded Jefferson Animal Clinic with the vision to provide the best medical care to the beloved pets and animals in Arvada and the surrounding areas.

What reviewers say

85% Positive sentiment
based on 565 reviews

The practice features a clean, welcoming facility and a staff widely regarded as exceptionally warm, gentle, and knowledgeable with animals of all temperaments. Appointments are generally easy to schedule, and practitioners take time to provide thorough explanations and supportive end-of-life care. While the overall experience is positive for routine visits and preventative care, pricing can lean high and communication can occasionally face bottlenecks regarding test results and treatment follow-ups.
