50+ years of care

1971

PPVC opens

Pikes Peak Veterinary Clinic was founded in 1971 by Drs. Larry and Sue Wiseman.

1980s

Dr. Fowler buys PPVC

In the early 1980s, Dr. Jeff Fowler joined the Wisemans and later purchased the practice from them. Sue Wiseman still brings her pets to see us.

1999

Dr. Marsden takes the lead

Dr. Melanie Marsden joined Dr. Fowler and eventually purchased PPVC when he retired. Dr. Fowler is still a regular face around our clinic and has come back to help out a few days a week.

2009

New facility

We moved from a two-exam-room building just a few doors away into our current facility with four exam rooms and better equipment.

2022

Expanding the property

We expanded our current location by purchasing the entire building and renovating a new “Quiet Critter Space.” This smaller, quieter area is specifically designed for cats and exotic pets, as well as laser treatments.

PPVC today

Our expanded facility is designed specifically for the comfort of our clients and their pets. We have four exam rooms and one room for larger pets and procedures requiring quiet and space. We have a treatment area, two dental tables, a surgery suite, a radiology room, a pharmacy and a laboratory area. We have comfortable kennels for pets who stay the day. Our isolation ward gives the right amount of comfort and privacy for infectious pets so they are safe and other pets are not exposed. We recently purchased the entire strip mall building, so clients will notice parking lot changes and exterior renovations over the next year.

    Among the best to take your cherished pets for their health. Everyone on staff is amazing to work with and (of course) they are gentle, caring and capable pet professionals. Dr. Marsden owns the clinic and maintains the highest standards to which all her team adheres. She and her clinic will always be my go-to vet! Personal caring professionals! Dr. Fowler fully examined Maia, answered my questions and gave multiple options for treatment. It's always a pleasure to take my pets here when they need check-ups or have health issues.

    It’s been an adventure trying to find an exotics vet for my rat babies. This clinic hits the nail directly on the head! Dr. Fowler, Dr. Marsden and their ENTIRE team have shown me nothing but true care, compassion and understanding. Whether it’s for an emergency or just a checkup, I know with 100% confidence that my babies are in excellent hands. I’m so glad I chose them to be my vet. My family and I thank you endlessly.

    Best vet ever. Dr. Clevenger is amazing. She is so good with all of my furkids. There is no pressure to do the most expensive procedures. She cares about what is best for my pets. My cat Bugsy has cancer and is very old. She has helped me make him as comfortable as possible until he is ready to go. In that time he has been so happy and I have the support of PPVC to thank for that. I literally would recommend this vet to anyone!

    I believe her name was Roxanne, but the receptionist did an Amazing job calming me down and helping me figure out what to do with an issue I had with my dog. I called a few other vets, and they all referred me to the nearest emergency vet, but Roxanne listened to me and asked many questions, then spoke with the vet and called back within a few minutes! She saved me a lot of money and also anxiety. They seem like very genuine people that care about your animal more than your money.
