Kris Fattor, DVM

Dr. Fattor has spent his adult life treating every pet as much as is possible as if it was his own; often taking patients home or spending the night at the office with critically ill patients.  Striving to not turn any client in need down, he knows what it’s like to be on the other end of the phone when you need help for your pet, and has made it his calling to be an advocate for each patient and their human companions.  Dr. Fattor feels honored and grateful to have served generations of clients and their animal companions.

As a third-generation Coloradan, Dr. Fattor practiced mixed animal practice early in his career but pursued a companion animal-centered practice after purchasing Green Mountain Animal Hospital from Dr. Wayne Smith in 1996.  He has continued to be a leader in his professional community by serving on local, state, and national veterinary associations, including as president of the Sierra Veterinary Medical Association and the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Association.  He also served on the Colorado State Veterinary Medical Board and on the American Association of Veterinary State Board advocating for the client and patient consumer protection.

Dr. Fattor is a member of the Comparative Gastroenterology Society, which contains many of the top gastro-enterology internists in the U.S.A. and Europe, and routinely participates in their meetings.  He enjoys all aspects of patient health, from medical, nutritional, and behavioral issues to advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. He has completed more than one hundred hours of continuing education in each of the last twenty years when only thirty-two hours are required bi-annually for licensure in the State of Colorado.  He also graduated from the Sound Imaging Academy of ultrasonography in 2015.
