We used to go to Taylor Ranch Vet, who referred us here, and I am so thrilled they did! Our 2 1/2 yr old pup jumped into some chollo cactus (OUCH) and the spines were all the way up her legs. over 100+~~~ Dr Cole spent over an hour pulling them out with me......she was so kind and patient. We immediately transfered all her puppy records to Cottonwood ~ and never looked back! Taylor Ranch told me to shave her hair first and that they would only give me 15 minutes tops! We are so thankful for Cottonwood, we've seen them now 2 more times, and always pleased with our visits.

I have been seeing Dr. Cole for about 9 years now. Over the years she has taken care of all of my equine, canine, feline, and fancy rat needs. She always goes above and beyond for all of her patients, including late night in-person visits to her patients if they are required to stay overnight at the clinic. The reason that I continue to see her instead of other vets that I have been to in the past is because: in addition to going above and beyond with treatments, she is always very genuine with her feedback and analysis of my animals. She always lets me know what all of my options (and costs associated) are up front, and makes recommendations on what she personally feels is best for the patient. She really makes you feel like she is recommending what she would do for HER animal. Additionally, if there is more research that is needed to be done (such as an MRI required for my pet), she will make a referral to an excellent specialist accordingly. I highly recommend her as a veterinarian if you are looking for the best, most considerate treatments for your animals. - AnnMarie

I recently became the owner of a beautiful Pit who is friendly and lovable. Being that I hadn't had a pet since I was a child, I was unaware of where to take my dog for all her vet needs. I was referred to Dr. Cole by a very close friend of mine and couldn't have made a wiser choice than to listen to that bit of advice. The treatment of my dog as well as myself is above reproach. The care provided was above all medical care I have personally received. She is diligent, detailed, and systematic about the services and recommendations she has provided to me. Bottom line is that I would, without a doubt, recommend Dr. Cole and her friendly staff to all my friends and family. I have found a life long canine care provider! Thank you Dr. Cole!!!

Dr. Mike Forsyth was absolutely the best vet we could have found when we were visiting Rio Rancho/Albuquerque from Florida last week. Our 9 month old lab ate something bad (imagine a lab doing that!) and it made her very sick. After two days of trying to get her well, we gave up and tried to find a local vet to see her. The staff at Cottonwood was willing to fit us into their already booked schedule that morning. Dr. Forsyth listened to us, sat down on the floor to bond and check out our 63 pound puppy. He told us he could run extensive tests to verify his diagnosis, but thought it was unnecessary and would save us money not to do them. Two pills later we were out the door and he even gave us his cell phone number to call in case we had any trouble as we made our way up New Mexico and into Colorado over the next few days. I was even more surprised to get a phone call from him two days later checking up on our dog. My husband and I wish we had a vet like him at home! I highly recommend Cottonwood Animal Clinic.

We always get great service for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Odium and Innit. The vets are very professional and caring and they have a whole bunch of specialists. This is without doubt the best vet in Rio Rancho or the west side. Highly recomended!
