Who We Are:
Founded in 1995, Hilltop Pet Clinic has become an integral part of the Pueblo West community and was voted Best Animal Hospital in Pueblo County in both 2025 and 2026.

Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to exceptional medicine, outstanding client service, and genuine compassion for the families we serve.
You'll work alongside experienced, collaborative doctors and highly trained support staff who help make busy days efficient and rewarding. We typically provide each veterinarian with 2–3 technicians plus additional support personnel, allowing you to focus on medicine rather than administrative tasks. Our daily rounds, open communication, and team-oriented environment create a workplace where everyone contributes, learns, and succeeds together.
Hilltop is known throughout the region for practicing progressive medicine and utilizing diagnostics at a level rarely seen in similarly sized practices. Our equipment includes IDEXX Catalyst One analyzers, ProCyte, SediVue, Snap Pro systems, digital radiology, digital dental radiology, Midmark dental equipment, ultrasound, Companion Laser Therapy, Bionote diagnostics, Stance Analyzer technology, and Talkatoo AI veterinary scribe software. We have consistently ranked among the top users of diagnostic tools in Southern Colorado and maintain strong relationships with visiting specialists in surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, and orthopedics.
Our culture is what truly sets us apart. Past relief veterinarians consistently describe Hilltop as welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable, collaborative, and fun. Comments like, "They make busy easy," "Plenty of cases, laughs and learning," and "Put this clinic on the unicorn clinic list" capture the experience of working here. We believe excellent medicine starts with caring for one another, and our team lives that belief through mutual respect, teamwork, mentorship, and plenty of humor along the way.
Our vision is to become the premier veterinary clinic in Southern Colorado, known for the highest quality medicine, exceptional customer service, professionalism, integrity, safety, and excellence in everything we do.
