Ponderosa Pet

At Ponderosa Pet Vet Services, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality veterinary care for dogs, cats, and other small animals in a familiar and stress-free environment. Our mission is to deliver convenient quality pet care for our beloved animal companions, while addressing their wellbeing in a safe and fear-free manner. We are proud to serve the Durango, CO community and the surrounding areas, offering both mobile and office services to accommodate as many pets as possible.

Our Services

We are committed to providing a wide range of veterinary services to meet the needs of our clients and their pets. Our services include:

• Routine wellness and preventative health care options
• Disease detection and treatment
• Assistance with senior life issues
• Same-day urgent care

We understand that some pets may experience anxiety in unfamiliar hospital settings, and we strive to minimize stress by providing mobile veterinary care. Our mobile services allow senior companions, larger pets, and nervous animals to receive necessary medical care in the comfort of their own homes. We also offer office appointments for pets who travel well or for those who prefer to bring their pets to us.

There are several benefits to choosing mobile veterinary care, including:

• Senior companions or larger pets may struggle being loaded comfortably into a vehicle
• Nervous pets can avoid the anxiety of a hospital setting's unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells
• Pets need not fear the stress of being separated from their family during hospital procedures
• Pets who live in aquariums or enclosures difficult to move can be observed in their own habitats
• Sometimes it's challenging to manage multiple animals all at the same time
• Avoiding car sickness is always a plus for the sensitive travelers!
