Our History
Report
This means that our hospital has been in operation for almost 20 years under continuous management. Over the years we have gained much experience in both the science of veterinary medicine, and the art of customer service. We have grown from a small two-person operation to a 13-person staff with two veterinary doctors.
Examinations
Report
Annual wellness exams are highly encouraged by virtually all members of the veterinary community, because they are paramount for long-term health in pets. Having regular check-ups allows your veterinarian to catch potential health issues, such as disease or pain at their earliest stages when they are most treatable.
Vaccinations
Report
Vaccinations provide the best defense against many potentially fatal diseases. With their advent, both the human medicine and veterinary medicine worlds saw a revolution in the ability to prevent millions of deaths that could have been caused by contagious diseases. Vaccinations prevent disease by exposing the immune system to a small, safe, and controlled dose of the particular threat.
Parasite Control
Report
Parasites such as fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworms are some of the most common afflictions that pets suffer from. They can cause pain, sickness, and even death in pets, and zoonotic diseases can even spread to human family members and infect your home. In short, parasites are a serious issue.

The ladies that were trimming my dogs toe nails were awesome! They were very caring with my baby and even took breaks to ensure he was relaxed and okay before the continued with the toe nails clippings! Sosa loved the peanut better! lol. Dr. Triggs was GREAT! Very exceptional vet! He was very welcoming entering the room and very knowledgeable about my dog and any questions I asked! He even helped me find a better shampoo for my pup! I will be returning!

This was my first time visiting for a second opinion on surgery. I was very pleased from the beginning to end. My furbaby is just that, my dog that I love and care for him and treatment means everything to me. I found what I was looking for within this facility from front staff, to doctor. I'm glad goggle found this search for me. It's just what my dog and I needed.

Absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond! Our dog had some sort of painful skin irritation on a day when our regular veterinarians office was closed. I called Highlands-Eldorado Veterinary Hospital because they were close by and I explained the situation to the front desk. Dr. Feltin was supposed be on her lunch break but she still had us come in immediately and took care of our dog needs. Dr. Feltin is our new veterinarian :)

Dr. Triggs fixed our Millie! And his amazing staff loved on her and provided the best care till I was able to pick her up from surgery. They were prompt to examine Millie, determine the best course of action and to answer all of my questions. It was a stressful day for us but Millie couldnt have been in better care. Thank you HEVH!

My dog needed a dental cleaning and a small surgical procedure. I had the bloodwork done last week. I took her in early this morning. Everything went as expected. The people are very nice and helpful. Dr. Triggs and Dr. Feltrin are the best. I can tell everyone involved really cares about our furbabies. I highly recommend this Veterinary Hospital!

10/10 recommend Highlands-Eldorado Veterinary Hospital to anybody ever needing recommendations. Dr. Jake Triggs is absolutely phenomenal! Hes compassionate, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. The level of care and attention our cat, Moe, received at his routine checkup far surpassed any clinic weve been to previously. Please consider this clinic, and Dr Triggs when choosing your veterinarian!

So grateful. My sweet dog was under breathing distress. Her regular vet was unavailable, but Highlands-Eldorado got us right in. The vet came back early from lunch to help her. They were kind, patient and comforting. AND, best of all, they were able to provide immediate and reasonably priced care. Thank you!

I highly recommend bringing your fur babies here!!

Jodie truly cares about every single animal that steps into her facility. She was such a blessing and its rare to find that level of compassion and empathy nowadays.
Giselle our vet tech was very caring and helpful during my visit with my nervous pup.
Dr. Triggs went above and beyond squeezing me into his schedule that day to help my sweet boy when he wasnt feeling well. Im so appreciative and we will definitely be back! I highly recommend bringing your fur babies, they truly are the best!!

I want to start this review by saying my dog is my absolute world. I came here after my corgi tore her CCL. I had done a lot of research on TPLO and CCL repair surgeries in the area.

I decided to take her here for a consultation based on proximity and the amazing reviews. Dr. Triggs has been absolutely amazing every step of the way. He was able to identify and confirm she tore her CCL and recommend next steps. He walked me through exactly what the surgery would entail and what to expect.

They were able to get her scheduled for surgery less than a week later. After her surgery he went over her x-rays with me and even assessed her hips. We just went back early this week to get her stitches out (2 weeks post surgery). He was there to assess her healing and let me know she was doing great! I do not have enough great words to describe every step of this process. We will definitely becoming back and I would recommend Dr. Triggs to anyone.

I have brought my dogs here for regular check ups, random illnesses, and even a surgery and this is by far one of the best veterinary clinics I've ever trusted my dogs with. They are so sweet about educating you on how to care for your furry family members better and take wonderful care of their patients.

We are in the process of moving our 3 dogs and 2 cats to Highlands-Eldorado Veterinary Hospital from another practice. We couldn't be happier with the care we have received so far - from the front desk staff, techs, and of course the doctor. We look forward to continuing care here, and we highly recommend!

I went in yesterday for the first time with my senior dog, Whiskey for an ultrasound, and it was about an hour drive from my residence. I have taken my dogs to many different veterinarians and have very rarely found ones that I really clicked with for my dog's care and I can say that I couldn't be happier with the care I received for my dog yesterday. The staff were amazing and wonderful, they were so kind to me, my toddler and wonderful and patient with my anxious dog. They helped fit all of my dog's needs in my budget and answered all of my questions. It is a far drive for me, but I'll definitely be back because I feel like they truly cared and that meant so much to me as this dog means the entire world to me; her receiving the care she needs from people I can trust is so important to me. Thank you so much for everything!

We went to The truck-a-treat is was just an awesome time for us. We got to pet a Kangaroo, a Lemur, a beautiful white Fox and an Alagator (well I could've they had his mouth taped butter nah) it was so cool. They had a contest for best pet costume and the winner is going to win a free annual exam yeah! There were treats for kids (and grown-ups) and pets. There was popcorn,snowcones, lemonades,and gift card from Texas Road House and another more. It was a great safe fun for the whole family. Miss Jodie work very hard on this event the proof was in how much fun and organized it was. Great job Thank you

Had such a great experience with my dog Piper's first visit here. She is a very quirky and nervous schnauzer in new situations(as most dogs are, but she's a bit extra :) ). And this is the first time I haven't seen her sit and shiver the whole time. Still weary, but Dr Triggs was so gentle with her and she seemed definitely more relaxed than in the past. He's very thorough and knowledgeable and definitely passionate about his profession! Very knowledgeable and calm team overall and good atmosphere. Jodie is always great, as I've known her for a very long time from a previous clinic and have a lot of trust in her as well. Happy I've found a great fit for Piper!

Dr. Taylor was the veterinarian to perform my dogs surgery on a torn ACL/CCL. During the consultation, he was informative about the different methods to repair my dogs CCL and presented educational materials for us to go over at home. Im glad I chose this clinic because my dog couldnt bare weight on his injured leg for more than 30 seconds, now about 5 months post surgery, my dog is running around and able to play fetch with no issues. Im so happy with my dogs progress and loved how Dr. Taylor and his staff were able to answer any questions I had.

Previous employeed. Was terminated in 2019. Doesn't change the fact that Dr. Taylor is a good surgeon. So when I called to make an appointment for a spay and gastropexy, on my 11 month old great dane, I requested HIM as the surgeon. He refused. Practice manager assured me that Dr S was competent and comfortable with both surgical procedures. Some unknown reason my dog had complications. Dr. S had to go back in the next morning because my dog had internal bleeding from the spay procedure.

I had to take her home 4 hours later because the icy weather the next day was keeping ever single person from coming in the next day. These pictures are 14 days post op. All the yellow in her skin are bruises still healing. They were all black and blue, from trauma to that entire area. Terrible bruising still healing. Horrible scarring that will never look normal.

Nothing will change the horrible scars left behind. Nothing will change the tragic experience. Nothing will fix this. I hold Dr Taylor responsible for this. He chose to have nothing to do with an innocent dog. I hold Christie responsible for allowing me to believe someone else was capable to treat my dog, and they weren't. Dr. Taylor is a coward and Christie is a liar.

I highly recommend Highlands-Eldorado Veterinary Hospital. It was an overall great experience from when I made the 1st call until after our appointment was complete. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Taylor and his entire staff. I found them when searching out options for repairing a CCL tear in my sweet girl. The tightrope technique Dr. Taylor recommended was different than the TPLO surgery most others offered, it was less invasive and had the upside of speedier recovery.

He took extensive time to explain the differences, answer my questions, and plan out a course of action. In panic trying to get her in they got her in for a consultation and surgery the same week. They've gone above and beyond with the care and the updates of my fur baby. Being away from your dog for awhile really stinks but knowing she's in the best hands is the biggest relief!

So grateful for Highlands- Eldorado Veterinary Hospital I appreciate, 1. How quickly they were able to get me an appointment for Betsy. 2. The thorough details about each surgery procedures, the updates and letting me visit. 3. Everyone in the hospital is as kind as can be.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Taylor and his staff! I first came across their clinic a year ago when looking for CCL tear surgery options. Dr. Taylor walked us through the tightrope procedure and explained the process very clearly and walked us through the treatment plan. We live on the third floor and he offered to keep Caden under their direct care until he was able to walk up stairs again, roughly a month - month and a half long, at no extra charge.

They knew from the beginning our dog was not the fondest of others not allowing anyone but us to touch him. He growls and snaps but they are able to sedate him safely and they take the steps necessary to not only make Caden the most comfortable as possible but us as well. They took their time with Caden as he worked to warm up to the staff. By the end of his stay, they were all best friends.

So when Caden tore his other CCL just 5 days ago, I knew who to call immediately. They took us in on Monday and performed the surgery the same day. Caden is currently recovering with them and they allow us to come visit him every day. He will be with them until Thanksgiving, if not longer. The first few days he wasn't wanting to eat or take his pills for the staff, which happened the first round.

So they let us come in and spend as much time as we want with him so that he feels comfortable enough to take his meds and eat. I would recommend Dr. Taylor and his staff over and over again. The go out of their way to accommodate any needs you and your fur baby may have. The tightrope procedure is the way to go and much less costly and invasive compared to the TPLO procedure. 5 stars isn't enough in my opinion.

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Taylor and his entire staff. We found them when searching out options for repairing double CCL tears in our Berner, Leia. Christi at the front desk was so helpful in relaying our requests to Dr. Taylor, responding quickly to me, and squeezing us in for that same day. When your dog can't walk at all every minute is appreciated!

The tightrope technique Dr. Taylor recommended was different than the TPLO surgery most others offered, it was less invasive and had the upside of speedier recovery. He took extensive time to explain the differences, answer our questions, and plan out a course of action. We had been on a waitlist for surgery at another center for 5 weeks prior to Leia tearing the second CCL while we waited, so we were thankful that EHVC made room on their schedule for her in 4 days.

The day of the first surgery they sent video of her "walking" on the first repair, they cared for her for that first week and completed the second surgery one week later. Again they sent me video of her afterwards, this time walking on two casts, but walking again! After one more week of "inpatient" care Leia came home in two casts, happy and hobbling.

Those casts were off shortly after, and everyone at the office was so supportive throughout her rehab and when she had a few unrelated issues. No letter how busy the office was they made a way to get her the care she needed. She is now back to 99% of her old ways, running and playing and happy. EHVC has also helped us navigate issues with our older dog, always talking through care plans and explaining options. Veterinary care can be costly, especially when it's surgery, etc. but they have been reasonable and conscious of costs, offering options as needed and never making me feel like less of a "pet parent" when I need to make a decision to hold off on certain things. We are grateful we found such a wonderful, knowledgeable veterinary clinic for our pets!

Dr. Taylor and the staff go above and beyond! Rocky had a tight rope surgery. 1. I was excited to find an alternative to the TPLO s surgery that was what I was told initially from another vet was the only. successful surgery. He is 90 pounds. I was crushed. No way could I afford that, yet knowing he was in pain and continued to search. And thank God I found this place!

Not only are they amazing it was such a relief to have an cheaper alternative! 2. Then about week five post surgery, we had a issue with muscles or ligament NOT the tight rope surgery and Dr. Taylor put him back in a cast and he did not charge me! I tear up just writing this! 3. When I say Dr. Taylor's name he perks up. And when we get to the office he is always excited about going in. Highland-Eldorado vet treat Rocky like their own! Warms my heart! This place is a God send and huge blessing! And top notch! All our love, Rocky and Rocky's mom! photo is of Rocky riding 10 hours in the car with his cast on!

Our beloved 17 year old cat Milo got sick very suddenly. It was heartbreaking to see her deteriorate so quickly. We had to put her down. We decided we wanted to say bye to her as a family so our two boys (ages 8.5 and 6.5) came with us. We held her, cried a lot and said goodbye. Everyone from the receptionist to the vet tech to both doctors were extremely sensitive and so kind.

I felt like they really understood the depth of the pain we were feeling. We are so thankful for all of them. It was a hard day and if we are faced with that decision again with our 14 year old cat we know we would be treated the same. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Milo was cremated and we have her box on a shelf so we can talk to her any time we want.

I’m very happy with this doctor and his staff. They were the only that I could find other than the emergency hospital that had a sonogram in their office and it was what my dog needed they were able to get his problem under control which I honestly didn’t think was going to have a good out come . He’s doing good now and I’m very happy and so am I.

Highlands ElDorado Veternirany Hospital is the best! Wonderful doctors and a great staff. We have complete confidence in them caring for our dogs. Dr. Taylor correctly diagnosed one of our dachshunds with Cushings disease several years ago and the medication he prescribed has kept her in good health and living a normal life. We appreciate everything about this Veterinarian office.
