About Our Hospital

Arapahoe Animal Hospital was founded in Boulder in 1954, and in 1969 moved to the innovatively-designed building we occupy today at 5585 Arapahoe Ave. Our Main Hospital stands on one full acre of its own land, with one-third acre of tree-shaded play and exercise yards dedicated to our premier Doggie Day Care program (and enjoyed by our Boarding “guests”).

In 2007, we opened our second hospital location, Arapahoe Animal Hospital – Downtown, at 1730 15th Street, nestled in the heart of Boulder’s downtown district, near C.U. and Pearl Street Mall.

Today, Arapahoe Animal Hospital is an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)-accredited practice with two convenient, state-of-the art hospital locations – sharing the same patient information data base and same superb staff!

Since 1970, our Hospital has been an accredited AAHA member, a distinction that only about 15% of veterinary hospitals in North America can claim. AAHA accreditation requires strict attention to specific detail in all areas and departments of our hospitals, periodic on-site AAHA inspections, and consistently meeting the highest standards in all medical, safety, and office procedures.

Our daily goal is to serve our clients and our community with the finest quality veterinary medicine and pet services — and the warm, friendly, compassionate care we are known for!
