Mobile veterinarian clinic prepares to debut services in Summit County, bringing pet care straight to residents’ door

#breckenridge #realestate #colorado


Even though we do not have 24 hour emergency veterinarian services available in Summit County because all the different veterinarians cannot get together and agree to work together to split up the work equally between all of them.  It is a shame and a real life threat to our beloved pets.  Let's all encourage/start a drive to get them to work together to provide this life saving service as they did in the past. 

 However, we do have a mobile vet back in town which offers some help.

Dr. Danielle Jehn-Campbell’s career in Summit County began in 2017 with the Frisco Animal Hospital.mal Hospital before she broke off to start her clinic on wheels, Passion Fur Paws, in May 2023. 

Due to a noncompete policy that barred her from doing business in Summit County until February 2024, Jehn-Campbell had to start her practice in Grand County, operating out of Kremmling. 

With February just around the corner, Passion Fur Paws is getting ready to hit the ground running. She said she knew there was a need for a clinic that could bring services directly to people’s homes based on her interactions with patients. 

She explained that often patients would say, “‘Hey, can you come to my house and do this euthanasia? Or, ‘Hey, my dogs are having trouble getting up, and I don’t know how I’m gonna get him into the car.'”

She said at-home euthanasia services have been popular as some people want to carry out that process in the comfort of their own home. 

Despite limitations due to the size of the vehicle she operates out of and her staff’s size, her clinic on wheels has nearly all the same capabilities as a typical veterinary hospital.

“We have in-house lab machines. We have in-house cytology. X-rays, we can do dentals and full dental X-rays,” Jehn-Campbell said. “We can do full abdominal surgery. We have full anesthesia capabilities … We have a portable ultrasound.”

Her clinic also offers spay and neuter services for dogs that are under 100 pounds.
