Steamboat Animal Hospital

There aren’t enough words to describe what an extraordinary vet Dr. Ripka is. He’s compassionate, thorough, honest, and takes the care of each individual animal to heart. I followed him to Steamboat Animal Hospital from another practice and am very happy he moved there. The staff are friendly, helpful, and communicative. I highly recommend trusting this office with your fur babies care.

We have been very happy with Steamboat for over 18 years. Very caring and compassionate at the necessary times. Cannot imagine going anywhere else.

We’ve been going here for years. As the pandemic dragged on it became more and more difficult to get an appointment. Most are 3 to 4 weeks out any time you call, even for more urgent issues. When I called recently because our dog has an ear infection (he’s prone to them and they have given us meds in the past that I just needed refilled), they told me that he had to come in to be seen, but that the next appointment was more than 1 month out. Then they tried to schedule it. I asked if they thought we should just wait for over a month with our dog in pain to go to their appointment. They said, “no”, you shouldn’t wait. So why would you even offer the appointment? I wish they would have slowed down the number of new patients they were accepting so that we could actually use them. We instead had to go to Oly to be see by a different vet. They don’t appear to be interested in receiving feedback either. I hope they can get things back on track and pause on new patients until they have a more manageable schedule. We used to love them!!!

We take all 3 of our dogs to Steamboat. They see Dr. Capsey, specifically, who is amazing. I appreciate how he and the techs treat our pups. Also, when my other pet sadly passed, Steamboat allowed me to take my time saying goodbye (they were closing at this time), and even let me see him one more time a couple days later when I really struggling w/ his passing. They set up a private room and let me take my time. I appreciated this so much. I have other family members who bring their pets to Steamboat. We have no complaints :)
