Vet access challenges in Colorado Springs

Military family turnover

Fort Carson and Academy PCS cycles create constant demand spikes local clinics cannot absorb.

Mountain recreation injuries

Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak trail hiking creates foxtail and altitude issues needing same-day care.

El Paso County growth

Briargate and Falcon expansion outpaced vet clinic openings in suburban corridors.

Wildfire season disruptions

Summer smoke and evacuations complicate clinic access and pet respiratory health.

Altitude transport stress

Brachycephalic breeds struggle with both altitude and car transport to clinics simultaneously.
