Colorado River Animal Medical Center

Colorado River Animal Medical Center is a veterinarian in Bullhead City, AZ, founded in 1999 by Dr. David McGee. The practice has been providing care to pets in the local community and surrounding tri-state area for over 20 years, with Dr. McGee fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian after graduating in 2003. Services include wellness care, general surgery, laser therapy treatment, diabetic management, and grooming, along with standard medical, surgical, and dental veterinary care for both preventative and urgent needs. Preventative products from Hills, Heartgard Plus, Proheart, and Nexgard are stocked, and the practice holds a rating of 4.10 based on customer reviews.

The facility brings together an in-house pharmacy, laboratory, radiology suite, and Intensive Care Unit, allowing most of a pet's medical care to be handled in a single visit. In-house laboratory testing covers blood work, urinalysis, organ function, electrolyte status, hormone levels, toxin exposure, pre-anesthetic screenings, and medication monitoring. The pharmacy carries prescription medications as well as Hills Science Diet prescription foods. Photobiomodulation deep tissue laser therapy is offered for acute and chronic conditions, using light to reduce pain and inflammation and speed healing. Wellness care begins with guidance on diet and includes testing for Feline Leukemia and FIV in kittens, along with testing and treatment for hookworm, roundworm, and heartworm in both kittens and puppies.

The team is led by Dr. McGee, who previously worked as a research scientist in the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences at Auburn University before entering veterinary school. The hospital manager, D, joined as a kennel assistant in 2000 and has remained with the practice since. Veterinary technician Angela came aboard in November 2013 and brings 18 years of field experience, while veterinary assistant Rose has been with the team since 2018.

The center sits on AZ-95 in Bullhead City, about a tenth of a mile from the Mohave Valley Highway and roughly four-tenths of a mile from Mohave High School. A Bullhead City fire station is within half a mile of the practice. Summer office hours run Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with the office closed from noon to 1:00 PM for lunch and closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

With more than two decades serving Bullhead City and the tri-state area, the practice combines an in-house pharmacy, lab, radiology, and ICU under one roof, making it a practical single-stop option for pet owners along the AZ-95 corridor.
