MEET OUR VET CLINIC

We Bring Colorado Springs Compassionate and Affordable Vet Care

When we established Ponderosa Veterinary Clinic, we knew we wanted to be different. In our mission to be known as the best veterinary clinic in Colorado Springs, we made it a priority to educate and empower our pet-owning families. We wanted to be known for honest and transparent care, so people could make more informed decisions about their pet’s care.

At Ponderosa, we build relationships. That’s why when you walk through our front doors, you and your pet become family. We provide the kind of affordable vet care for dogs and cats that you want and need, and we offer everything from general wellness appointments to surgery. We treat your furry friends like our own, and give you the information you need to continue loving and caring for your animals. 

DR. RICK COUFAL, DVM - Founder and Lead Veterinarian at Ponderosa

A native of Colorado, Dr. Coufal grew up on a small family farm surrounded by animals big and small. His participation in 4-H over many years ultimately led him to choose veterinary medicine as his profession. He went on to graduate from Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in May of 2000, and started working in the Black Forest community later that year.

He continues to find great satisfaction in the day-to-day challenges that being a veterinarian presents, from the basics of preventative health to more complicated surgical procedures. Aside from his affinity for animals, Dr. Coufal enjoys wildlife photography, camping, fly fishing and spending time at home with his wife, three children, and a plethora of pets.
