When you bring your pet to Indian Peaks Veterinary Hospital, you're not walking into a corporate chain or a one-size-fits-all veterinary practice. You're joining an animal hospital that has been caring for Boulder pets for decades and continues to be guided by the same principles it was founded on: personal relationships, honest conversations, and care that puts pets first.
Since the mid-1990s, Indian Peaks Veterinary Hospital has been a trusted resource for dogs, cats, and the people who love them. Today, under the ownership of Dr. Sarah Grier, the practice continues to grow while staying true to the welcoming, community-focused approach that has always defined it.
Whether you're visiting us from Boulder, Lyons, Lafayette, Louisville, or beyond, our goal is simple: provide the kind of care we'd want for our own pets while helping you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
A Practice Built on Personal Connections
Indian Peaks Veterinary Hospital was originally established by a local veterinarian with a vision of creating a neighborhood animal hospital where pets and their people would never feel like just another appointment on the schedule.
When Dr. Sarah Grier purchased the practice in 2018, she embraced that vision and continued building on it. Today, Indian Peaks remains proudly privately owned and woman-owned, allowing our team to stay focused on providing recommendations based on your pet's individual needs.
What Makes Indian Peaks Different?
Not all veterinary experiences feel the same. Here, care is built around communication, trust, and doing what’s right for each individual pet. These are the standards that shape every visit, and what set us apart from other Boulder veterinarians.
Privately Owned and Locally Focused
As an independent animal hospital, our decisions are made right here in Boulder by people who live and work in the community. That allows us to maintain the personal atmosphere and flexibility our clients value.
AAHA-Accredited Excellence
Indian Peaks Veterinary Hospital is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), an achievement earned by only a small percentage of veterinary hospitals. This accreditation reflects our commitment to maintaining high standards for patient care, safety, medical protocols, and client service.
A Calm, Comfortable Experience
Several members of our team have earned Low Stress Handling certification, and we incorporate those techniques throughout the hospital. By reducing fear and anxiety whenever possible, we help pets feel more comfortable and create a better experience for everyone involved.
Advanced Care Close to Home
Our animal hospital offers more than routine veterinary services. Through partnerships with visiting board-certified specialists, we provide advanced diagnostic and treatment options right here at Indian Peaks. This includes specialty services such as abdominal ultrasound, echocardiography, and advanced surgical procedures, helping many pets receive specialized care without traveling far from home.
Supporting Pets Beyond Our Hospital Walls
Being part of the Boulder community means more than caring for pets during appointments. We're proud to support local organizations that work every day to improve the lives of animals and the people who care for them.
Our team supports several respected rescue and animal welfare organizations, including:
We also support local youth athletics through sponsorship of sports programs at Lyons Middle/Senior High School, helping strengthen the community we call home.
Looking Ahead
While veterinary medicine continues to evolve, our philosophy remains the same: provide compassionate, practical care while building lasting relationships with the pets and people we serve.
We're honored to care for generations of pets throughout Boulder and the surrounding communities, and we look forward to welcoming many more in the years ahead.
Whether you're new to the area or searching for a veterinary team that feels like the right fit, we'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet.
