Company History
Plateau Valley Animal Hospital began in 2009, when Dr. Clint Dennison returned to his hometown of Collbran, Colorado to raise his family with the same rural, western ranch values and lifestyle he grew up with. The first “clinic” — then called Plateau Valley Veterinary Clinic — was a humble shed on Dr. Dennison’s home property. In 2015, the practice relocated to the former human clinic in Collbran, and by 2018 it had settled into its current home—a cozy log cabin just outside of town on Highway 330. This branch continues to serve the residents of the Plateau Valley, with our doctors and some staff alternating between the PVAH Collbran Clinic and Rifle Clinic.
The Rifle branch of PVAH started in 2019 when Dr. Dennison treated a lame horse in Silt. That farm call introduced him to Kelly, a groomer and vet tech who shared his passion for animal care. Recognizing a need for veterinary services in Garfield County, Dr. Dennison rented space in Kelly’s grooming room, and she managed the Silt clinic. In January of 2024, the growing practice moved into an off-grid tiny house on Kelly’s property. When the current building in Rifle became available in July 2024, the clinic relocated to allow for expansion—and the convenience of electricity.
What began as a very small, rural, home-grown operation has become a two-town, two-doctor, and nearly twelve-employee clinic — but our philosophy hasn’t changed. Dr. Dennison has always believed that veterinary care should be personal, honest, and affordable. His goal has never been to pack the schedule or chase profits but to provide a valuable service, build lasting relationships with clients, and offer high-quality care at fair, accessible prices. He’s also been intentional about choosing team members who share that same philosophy.
At Plateau Valley Animal Hospital, we’re dedicated to providing honest, small-town care that always puts people and their animals first. We’re deeply grateful for our clients’ ongoing support and patience as we continue to grow while remaining true to our mission of keeping care affordable, relationships genuine, and preserving the hometown feel that, we hope, makes PVAH truly unique.
