Dedicated to personalized, quality care for your dog or cat

The Louisville Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. John Bender in 1977. As the first veterinary clinic in Louisville, Colorado, it had modest beginnings in one of the boxcars at South Boulder Road and Main Street. By 1981, the practice had outgrown the three-room clinic and Dr. Bender built a new clinic at 2000 Centennial Drive, ¼ mile north of South Boulder Road and east of the Safeway store.

Dr. Bender graduated With Highest Distinction from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1974. His practice philosophy has always been to provide the highest quality of medicine and service in a personal, one-to-one relationship with clients and patients.

An advantage of being a sole practitioner is that Dr. Bender personally administers to every pet at every visit, assuring clients of continuity in their pet’s veterinary care.

“… I don’t have the words to tell you how deeply grateful I will always be for the quality of care our pets have received at your office.

Thank you for always taking the time to give our pets special attention, for enjoying them and caring about their welfare and especially for helping us to say goodbye when the time came. That kindness will always be remembered. ”
