Since then, we have expanded from one doctor and three staff members to four doctors and 14 staff members! When you come to Friendship, you will find a group of caring professionals ready to assist you.
The doctors and staff at Friendship make it their mission to provide gentle, comprehensive care with a focus on keeping your pet healthy in all stages of life. From puppy vaccinations, to kitten litter box training, to adult routine blood screening, to Senior pet care, we at Friendship Hospital for Animals believe preventive care, and early detection leads to longer life, which gives you more woof, more meow, more love. The Friendship Hospital for Animals team of skilled veterinarians welcomes you and your pet to our practice!
Annual dental exams and cleanings are recommended to protect your pet from many health problems and help them maintain a healthy and clean mouth. Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Annual wellness exams evaluate your pets overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep them on track to live a long, healthy life.
We try to make every visit a pleasant one from the moment you walk in the door until you head home with your pet. Check out the pictures of our facility below, or feel free to stop by and take a tour during normal business hours.

Friendship hospital has been our vet for our dog for almost 10 years. I've seen them update their appointment services and pharmacy making it easier for the clients. The office managers are kind and willing to answer questions even when the vets are busy. AND they're still accepting new clients which is a rarity these days. My dog has gotten much older so I think their geriatric care could be better. That is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. I still recommend them.

My partner and I are parents to a sweet senior rabbit and a boldly inquisitive adolescent cat. Especially with our rabbit, technically identified as an exotic animal, we struggled to find a vet that was the right fit until Friendship Hospital for Animals was recommended to us. I truly have never seen any interact as intuitively and lovingly with bunnies as Dr. Julie Smith.

More generally speaking, at each appointment, I feel like my input is valued and considered and our animals are treated with time, love, and concern. I highly recommend Friendship.

We have brought our dog, Sebastian, here since we moved to Ft Collins a few years ago. What initially drew us in was the convenience of the PAW plan. When our puppy, Zella, came home we got her a puppy plan and all of her needs were taken care of! We love Dr. Smith who always takes time with us and explains everything throughly so we understand. All of the staff love our fur babies and make us feel so welcome each time we come in!

I am new to this animal hospital, but I left feeling very good and even excited about the whole experience. The high online review rating is absolutely justified. Setting up the appointment was very easy and we received timely reminders, complete with what we needed to be prepared for. We were greeted with enthusiasm, attended to quickly, had things explained well throughout the process, and had plenty of time with the doctor who was very professional, personable, thorough and answered all of our questions in a very relaxed and unrushed manner.

And final payment was made clear, and was quick and easy. We also appreciated the excited interest shown in our new puppy. He is the reason for all of this, we are very excited to have him in our family, and it was necessary to us that his caregivers be equally excited and concerned. We felt that. We've found our new animal hospital.

I've been taking my pup here for the past three years and I have had a positive experience during every annual visit. I see Dr. Holmes and she is always kind to my dog and explains things very well. The staff at this office provides excellent, compassionate care every time. Highly recommend!

My guinea pig was in great hands with Dr. Smith. I was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge and gentle handling.

Don't take your animal here please! They're so expensive and don't treat your animal. I took my cat here a total of 3 times and spent over $2000. Only for them to not tell me anytime about my cat. They called animal control service on my cat behind my back for no reason other than my cat being "temperamental" with taking blood. They literally gave me my cat back saying "she did so great" to have animal service show up at my door. Then I had to call my vet to find out what "happened". They're a bunch of liars, don't take your pet here for accurate care. All they care about is money.

I've been at a different veterinarian clinic in Fort Collins and this place has, by far, this vet provides better service. Not only the staff is nice and helpful, but technicians are also knowledgeable and very friendly. I need 3 doctors here and they were all compassionate and they all took time to answer all my questions. My 2 cats came here for check ups and treatment and I was impressed with the high level of professionalism they took care of my cats.

They also follow-up the next day to check on your pet. Recently, I had to put my cat to sleep and I couldn't have chosen a better place to have it done for her. They had a room prepared with a cozy blanket, the treated all of us with patience and gave us comfort the whole time. The doctor was very nice with my cat, pet her with love and explained the whole process. They also gave us time to be alone in the room with our cat, before and after the euthanasia. They also helped us with cremation services.

I was very appreciative that Dr. Lisano agreed to see my dog on short notice as a new patient. She was very knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. My dog has a great deal of anxiety and she did a wonderful job handling him. Everyone at the front desk was also very friendly and helpful. I am happy to have found such a great veterinarian!

My pooch and I have found a new veterinary home finally! After visiting the vet closest to our home several times, I was frustrated with their lack of responsiveness to our needs and their constant pushing of expensive procedures. Friendship Hospital for Animals got us in quickly and everyone there was kind and seemingly very happy to be working there.

We decided on a conservative approach to my dog's problem and they have promised to contact me back in a week to check in on her. It is a breath of fresh air to experience a vet clinic that operates with care of the patient and its owners in mind. I am SO glad to have found this place -- Very satisfied so far!
