Dr. Renee Rumrill graduated from Colorado State University's prestigious College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in 1996. She began her career in mixed animal practice, treating many different types of animals from dairy cows to rabbits. She narrowed her focus to companion animal medicine when she found that she was most happy treating animals that are valued as family members.

Our pets are our best friends, but they are great at hiding mouth pain and discomfort. We recommend regular dental exams for your pet to prevent tartar buildup, check for loose teeth, examine mouth sores, and stop the onset of periodontal disease. This last item is especially important, as unchecked periodontal disease can seriously damage your pet's internal organs.

If I were living in Montrose area, this would be my veterinarian choice. We needed a health certificate for our small dog to travel overseas, and Alta Vista provides that service. The staff is kind, efficient, and professional. My shy little guy went to everyone there. Thank you!

We have used Alta Vista Animal Hospital for over 5 years and trust Dr. Rumrill and her staff with the care of all of our pets (4 dogs now). She does our vaccines, wellness checks and looks after special needs in our dogs. One of our dogs once needed some specialized treatment from a veterinary neurologist and Dr. Rumrill gave us an excellent referral to one that did a very successful surgery on her. I would highly recommend Alta Vista Animal Hospital to anyone in the Montrose area.

We have used Dr. Renee since she bought the business years ago and have always been pleased with her exemplary clinical skills and interventions, not only for our dogs but our felines that have known her. She conducts herself in a very professional manner and has shown great compassion for our animals and our needs as owners. Her staff communicates a high level of compassion and assures that our questions are completely answered before being discharged from their care. We will always feel a high level of caring from everyone at Alta Vista veterinary hospital!

My family has been using Alta Vista for years (before it was even called Alta Vista). Over the years, we have come to love and appreciate Dr. Renee and her staff. They are all so caring and compassionate towards our pets. My cat has diabetes and Dr. Renee has been fantastic with helping figure out an affordable treatment plan and keeping close tabs on his health. I appreciate that she reaches out to other vets (CSU, for example) if she doesn't have an answer or wants other options. I can't imagine taking my cat any place else.

Just had my dog Nashville fixed at AltaVista and I couldn't be more impressed. They did a great job explaining how to care for her at home and helped me get her into the truck. Will absolutely be back.

Both my cats are treated by Dr. Renee at Alta Vista and my boy Mannix is NOT a warm fuzzy cat (see photo)! But Dr. Renee did a great job with him, sweet talking him right through a dewormer treatment and a vaccination without incident.

I love Alta Vista animal hospital. We've used them for many years. Most importantly our dogs LOVE them too! They've received top notch care. I've never been turned away with last minute sicknesses. You can tell the vets and every staff member truly love animals. The care is always gentle and kind.

Nothing but good things to say. I called multiple clinics in town trying to see who could squeeze in my dog this week due to some sudden symptoms he was having. The front desk lady I spoke with on the phone stood out to me as being compassionate for my concerns and truly made me feel like she wanted to help. They got us in next day and Dr. Renee was kind and genuinely seemed to care about our puppy.

She went through labs and imaging and explained everything to me. I feel like we got the best care and we will happily continue working with this clinic for both of our puppies.
