Our wonderful community respects and trusts our dedication to giving them the best possible care for their pets.

OUR COMMUNITY:

Pueblo is only 40 miles from Colorado Springs and 90 miles from Denver, the two most populous cities in Colorado. We have a small-town vibe with BIG open skies! Pueblo offers 26+ miles of biking, walking, and running trails along the beautiful Arkansas river. With 100+ hiking and biking trails, and nearly 50 campgrounds, you’ll have plenty to do on your days off. We embrace our traditions and culture, celebrate where we came from and what makes us who we are today. Discover these traditions through our local cuisine and festivals, music, performances and more! There is no doubt that Pueblo has phenomenal weather most of the year with over 300 days of sunshine and mild average temps. It could be a full-on blizzard just 30 minutes north and be perfectly sunny in Pueblo! This weather is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. You will enjoy the best of all seasons with gorgeous fall evenings, warmer summers, average winters and amazing sunsets against the bordering mountain range all year long. The mountains are never far for that cozy winter staycation and ski trip!
