Are they open on weekends?

Yes. One reviewer brought their dog in on a Saturday for a leg laceration and was seen the same day.

Do they charge extra for emergency same-day visits?

The reviews do not state a separate emergency fee. A reviewer paid the standard visit cost for a Saturday emergency.

What is the care plan and what does it cover?

Their website or staff lists a $68 care plan that provides a 5% discount; most services beyond vaccinations require out-of-pocket payment, so coverage is limited.

PetVet365 Pet Hospital Denver / University

5.0(57)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Every single review rates PetVet365 five stars. Owners of anxious and fearful pets report transformative experiences: dogs who once dreaded vet visits now eagerly pull toward the door. Staff invest time in "happy visits"-free, low-pressure sessions using treats and positive handling to build trust before actual care. The practice leans heavily on Fear-Free methods and integrative medicine. Dr. German and her team (Max, Larissa, Dr. Erdman, Lindsay, Leticia among them) are named consistently for patience, thoroughness, and extending appointments to 30-45 minutes. Rooms mimic living rooms with couches and soft furnishings instead of metal tables. Pricing is noted as transparent and reasonable compared to corporate chains.
