I love Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet. I lived in the Denver area until Aug.2018. I enjoy seeing familiar areas. The staff all seem wonderful,very hard working and genuinely compassionate.
Keep up all the good work!
I applaud your hard work and dedication Dr Jeff Young if we had more like you this world would be a better place thank you for your caring. A fan forever God bless you and all your staff!
I watch Dr. Jeff’s show every night. I am amazed at the work him and his staff do. His compassion and generosity is inspiring. To me he is a hero and role model. The world needs more people of his caliber. He makes me laugh and cry
White is not an ethnicity, it is used as a highly inaccurate description of skin color, but, it ISNOT an ethnicity. Ethnicity is a cultural destination, I.e. a person is Kenyan, Irish, German, Italian, a Kurd, a Bedouin, a Kikuyu, a member of the Lakota Nation. This could but, dies not necessarily tell us anything about how much melanin is in a person’s body! Stop using white, brown, yellow, red, as a descriptor
Of either ethnicity or race. There are three identified races that “distinguish” people by pheno and genotype, Caucasoid or Caucasian, Mongologid, and Negroid or Negro. These determinations of skinn, hair, eye shape and color and other physical features
Are not “ethnicities”. Jewish people are NOT a “race”, they comprise a religious identity, that has an historical tribal identity, a clear set of religious constructs and is also defined via a nation state. The ethnic varieties of those distinguishing themselves as descendants of Abraham and his wives, are many in 2019, and can not be defined by skin color nor exclusively by the three racial “categories” invented by humans as a social construct to make oppression acceptable since the priginalanthropological use of race, at least in modern western history, has often been to justify the exploration of people with more melanin by people who have less.
Dr. Jeff’s ethnicity, or anyone else’s for that matter, is not and can never be WHITe! Even his rave is not White. He could be Caucasian of a ny wide variety of cultural, National identities, including a United Stateser or any other identity by which he identifies, from the people from whom he de ends biologically and where they came from or originated before his ancestors immigrated to this country we wrongly identify as America. America is all the land on the planet identified as being a part of South and North America. Canadians, Chileans, Brazilians and more are all”Americans. When we call our selves Americans” typically pronounced “Mercans” , we fail to accept we are only a part of all America and that our homeland is the United States. Let’s start understanding what it actually takes to know who we are. PLEASE!
Sarah, I missed why you started off on your soapbox about color and ethnicity Etc. I do not understand why that was important to those of us saying good things about dr. Jeff for asking questions.
Thank you Dr. Jeff and staff for all your hard work getting the word out to have animals spayed or neutered. There is something I believe you should note. If anyone cares to make a donation to your facility (other than Chewy), I think you should have an address or information for those made readily available. When an animal needs fostering before they find their forever home perhaps donors would care to know how to help……just saying.
Dr Jeff is my idol. Having just dealt with trying to afford dental bills for my dog, I respect him for helping people that don’t have $1500 extra. I wish there were more Vets like him. He is a human being to look up to. Bless him
Dr Jeff Young and his staff are a blessing to all who are blessed enough to be treated by them. We watch the show faithfully and wish there were more Vets like him. I wish Dr Jeff could go to the San Antonio area as there is a terrible problem with dogs that are left in the streets not spay or neutered. Most of them are pit bulls and it’s difficult to find them a home. My son has taken in five and has only found homes for two or he would have had seven. I wish he could do a clinic there. It’s also a cultural problem to not neuter male dogs. I know he can’t save the world but I wish one of his colleagues could follow his steps.
Dr.jeff,I like your show alot I get a kick out of your staff,there always kissing the animals,it tickles me,you are a man amougst men,your other male older vet is a real looker,he can work on me any time.
My mom & I watch your show religiously. You and almost all of your staff are heroes. My Beagle Rozsa (accent on the ‘o’ Hungarian for Rose) and middle name Kaijah (Hungarian for Kimi) came from THE largest mill in the country, your state. Anyway, besides barking, she’s become a wonderful little pet @13.5 for us. My original Beagle—Muffin Anne Karpoff had to be put down @ 12.5 when 1 kidney was 10x its size. Dad passed In April of aggressive, metastatic cancer quickly & our vet wanted a mint to save Muffin. I got to hold her when she was put down. I still think there was a better way.
We love the way you look at it all as ‘quality NOT quantity. ‘ We were careful w/Muffin but you would have laughed at her ‘false pregnancies ‘ and whelping spots. I hurt for her.
We live on the shores of Lake Erie and I was wondering if & how we could adopt a dog from you if we desired. We love Watson and since I have a physical disability, we’d love to take on a dog like him/her. You are probably attached to Watson, but we could go for something like that. I also wonder if you can match me with a service dog. I have Epilepsy as did Muffin and we predicted each other ‘s. I always awoke with her paws on me. Vice versa. I know Rozsa might get it. I hope I can predict hers—-if she gets it.
Our vet is in it for the money and every vet around here is. You truly care. All of your staff. I know I am away from you, but I have heard you “complain ” of vets trying to get rich on people’s pain. You and staff are kidly, caring. The original vet was great w/our nearly 10 yr old Guinea Pig. The specialist for our giant Painted Turtle as well.
I would like to know if I can get your help or adopt a dog—whether Watson or not. PLEASE, just tell me what to do. And if we see a pet can it be held? I guess we’re responsible for getting to you and back.
Again, we love your show and the low cost means, yet healthy ways in which you treat your ‘guests ‘ and save lives. I do hope you can help us.
Love this man and staff. Compassion for animals us heart warming. Thank you for your service to animals and help to service people. Also native Americans and homeless.
Dr Jeff is what you call a REAL DOC.
Does dr jeff’s Clinic take contributions
How does dr Jeff make enough money for clinics
i can’t say anything more than what all of you have said. dr. jeff, you are the angel for all pets. i only wish there were more of you. love you dearly.
Dr.Jeff and petra are 6 months old rottweiler got kicked by a steer and broke/DISLOCATED it we don’t have 5 grand to fix it we have been crying like crazy every 0time Mufasa’s trying to stand he slipped on floor. We are in by Medford Oregon. we need your help!!
DR JEFF IS A TRULY CARING VET WHO STRIVES TO
MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR ALL ANIMALS. YOU
ARE INDEED A HERO IN MY EYES!!
I could not agree more with nearly all of the above listed comments. PPP is number ONE. I recently found a Vet Clinic here that do not charge an arm and leg for proper care of my 3 fur babies. I had one in the past that charged you for your first born just to see your animal and then you almost had to refinance your house to get anything done for their care. I wished Dr. Jeff and LLC could help to create Clinics across the US that he oversees to help with the Vet Care that people could get help without giving up on their fur family members.
Thank you all that work at PPP in Denver for all you do.
Of course let me put in one more vote on the wonderful side of your entire clinic. I wish there were other Vets in the United States that feel the way he does. I can’t find a reasonable vet anywhere in my area.
Most of all I wish you could make some new videos. It seems like I watch the same videos over and over on animal planet but I can’t find any anywhere else..Thank you Dr. Jeff and all the wonderful people in your practice for all that you do.
I love Dr. Jeff too bad their aren’t More vets like him . 99% should spend a couple months with him they would be better Hu man beings Not to mention Vets . The vets in my area are in it for the Money and not the animals . v.6
Very sad
I love the show and all you do! I’m a tech so have to ask if you wear caps and masks when not on tv ? Not asking to criticize at all! Just curious. Keep up the wonderful work you do!
what the heck is wrong with “Sara” — she can’t even type a grammatically correct sentence; & what the heck is her issue w-ethnicity; mostly, she needs to take a course in proper English – or learn ow to type correctly
God Bess all of you!
Just watched the Season 7 opening episode and no one was wearing face masks, not employees or customers. Do they exist in a disease-free parallel dimension? They featured a parade with the sheriffs riding horses and no one in the non-socially distanced crowd was wearing a mask. Is Colorado Covid-free? How is this behavior responsible?
DR Jeff we all love your show and like everyone wish you had clinics all around united states. Years ago my 3 year old dachshund had a bad disc in her back and was paralyzed from the waist down. Cost $6000 and no guarantee she would walk again. Took out loans and maxed out every credit card but was just able to cover it. Took a month of me working her legs but she finally was able to start to walk again. Never once even got a phone call from the surgeon asking if she was walking again! So many only care about the money they get and not the pet. I know you are a animal welfare advocate and was wondering if you are aware of a large group of dogs that are getting very sick or even dying like my dog because of dreambone dog treats. It is suppose to be a safe digestible treat but it is really hurting especially small dogs. If you are interested check out HOUZZ.com under “Anyone had a problem with Dreambone dog treat”. I think you will be shocked and horrified by the stories of what some of these dogs and owners have been through.
I noticed that too but i think it was shot before covid hit
i think not sure
Love, love, love Dr. Jeff Young!! I love his staff as well. They put staff, techs & most other vets to shame. It’s all about $$ rather than your pet. I don’t trust many doctors (animal or people) because of all my experiences. However, I would truly trust & value anyone like Dr. Jeff and his staff. They are intelligent & compassionate, not only about animals but the people that love them as well. We NEED thousands more like Jeff & his staff in the world!!! Love the show, never miss it!
Don’t believe everything on the internet … Petra is his 3 rd wife and married her so she could become a us citizen… they met while he was married to his second wife and they had an affair… him and his second wife separated in January 2013 and officially divorced 2014 .. he married Petra 3 months after his divorce… also these reality shows are staged for viewing purposes otherwise you would see him verbally abusing employees calling them stupid
Wish we had a facility like yours here in the U.K.,You and your team are amazing.
We love your TV show.
We wish you all a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
To Sara, what does your rant have anything to do with Dr Jeff other than your a “woke” libitard that thinks they know everything!
Stay in your lane!
I love Dr. jeff, never miss the show, even if it’s repeats over n over.
