In-Office Veterinary Care

Buena Vista, CO

Our conveniently-located in-office location provides the best of both worlds with appointments in our fully equipped mobile clinic in an environmentally-controlled RV garage. Home office visits offer us plentiful access to full power for heating, cooling, lighting, and anything else we might need for your pets while in our care. We prefer to do all surgeries inside this home base to ensure a temperature-controlled space to keep your pets safe under anesthesia. This is especially important during the cold winter months as guarding against hypothermia while under general anesthesia is our primary concern. Please schedule an in-office appointment here. Please visit our What to Expect page to learn more about office visit protocol.

Although we do not provide 24-hour emergency or in-patient care, we do often have same-day or next-day appointments available for our in-office veterinary services. Please call to find out our availability.

Mobile Veterinary Services

Collegiate Peaks Area—From Our Home to Yours

With our fully functional mobile pet care clinic, Dr. Gastellum brings services typically found at a traditional pet clinic straight to your doorstep.

Although we come to you, we are not “house call” veterinarians only capable of basic examinations and end-of-life care. Our state-of-the-art mobile pet clinic is a fully sanitized, properly air-conditioned environment for examination, diagnostics, treatment, dentistry, and surgery. While on the road, the mobile clinic gets its power from a generator to provide the same comprehensive services found at our home base.

We service the greater Collegiate Peaks area and charge a separate mobile fee based on the distance from our home base in Buena Vista to yours. Please reach out to us for a personal quotation of anticipated fees.

Our services include:
