A decision concerning euthanasia may be one of the most difficult decisions you can ever make regarding your pet.

If your pet is extremely sick or so severely injured that he or she will never recover normal health, perhaps the kindest thing you can do for your pet is help induce its death quietly and humanely through euthanasia.

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "I have known Dr. Frucci since 1990, when he took me under his wing as an aspiring veterinary student. He has similarly mentored many successful veterinarians throughout his career, generously ‘giving back’ to the profession. It is a pleasure to visit the clinic and see CSU veterinary students at work! It has been a pleasure to know Dr. Frucci over the past 25 years. His sincere interest in problem solving, high quality medicine and surgery, and exceptional client satisfaction is evident. He is selfless in the care of his patients and clients."
    -Dr. Frye
  • "I highly recommend City Park Animal Clinic to anyone looking for quality care for their pets. Dr. Frucci and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and always take the time to listen, fully examine your pet(s), and answer any questions that you may have. My cat and my dog are both rescue animals and were a little unsure of the big bad world at first, so I really appreciate the extra time spent to help make them feel comfortable. I also really like the "small town" feel of the office and the way it operates. You're not just a number, or a dollar sign...you and your pets are truly cared for. :)”
Thank you, City Park Animal Clinic!!"

  • "I have been bringing my animals to Dr. Frucci for more than 20 years. I still drive up all the way from Denver to see him. I trust him to do what is best for my animals."

  • "I found my favorite vet clinic! Dr. Frucci and his staff are so welcoming and loving toward me and my dogs, giving me lots of great advice, and always having my dogs' comfort as the priority. We are so lucky to have found City Park Animal Clinic!!!"
    -Diane H.
  • "We moved to Fort Collins and needed a new Veterinarian, because we lived nearby at the time we found Dr. Frank by chance. Our husky was in a critical stage and close to dying during the 2013 floods, Dr. Frank actually walked across a closed bridge to administer a shot to our sweet girl. We are so fortunate we found such a passionate Vet."
