Chaparral Animal Health Center

I want to caution others about my recent experience with Dr. Dave at Chapparal Animal Health. After years of bringing my pets to him and recommending his integrative veterinary care, I was shocked by how he handled a serious health issue with my cat. When my previously healthy cat suddenly became very ill, Dr. Dave examined him and immediately concluded he was dying. I requested bloodwork, but he refused, claiming my cat was too dehydrated, and discouraged a visit to the emergency vet due to cost and the same expected diagnosis. We left with only fluids and no medication or comfort care. Still concerned, we took our cat to the ER. They were able to draw blood without issue, diagnosed a UTI and manageable stage 2 kidney disease, and treated him with IV fluids and antibiotics. Our cat made a

Dr. Dave and his entire staff are the most genuine, caring, authentic people anyone could ever imagine. Dr. Dave is down to earth, relaxed and brilliant! If you are seeking the real deal where you could also learn from Dr. Dave is the one. Non invasive treatments and wonderful holistic therapies. We especially bonded with Bradley, his generous spirit, love for our fur babies and deeply caring energy is a privilege to behold. Thank you Dr. Dave for literally saving our pugs life! You turned a hopeless situation into one of the most significant joys of our lives, forever grateful. 🙏💖

Dr Dave is simply the best. I drive my anxious pups 40 minutes one way just to see him. His love for animals is so clear and the work that he does on them is profound. My dog had a random limp and Dr Dave did chiropractic and acupuncture on her three times and she started to heal. Amazing work! 🙏

Great vet with alternate medication options for our senior dog with cancer. They removed her growths for less than half of what CSU Vet school wanted! Prescribed natural cancer prevention & immune boosting nutrients. It's been 6 years since her first growth was removed! Traditional radiation treatments estimated she'd have a yr 6 months after treatment!? She's still in good spirits!

We brought in our dog because she was wheezing at night. Initially when we brought her in, we were told by Dr. Dave that he's seen this many times before and it was just a little sinus infection (without doing any real exam of her). It was a "trust me I know" type of conversation. We ended up bringing her back two weeks later as it wasn't getting better. We were still told that he believed it was a sinus issue and we shouldn't worry. But to ease our mind, he flushed out her sinuses with saline (causing bleeding and discharge.) We then brought her to Valley Vet and the Veterinarian held a cotton strand up to her nose and said, "she has a mass in her right nostril, we need to get her a CT scan asap". And, he was right. She had a cancerous tumor in her right nostril. That visit took 5 minutes
