Learn Who We Are

  • James Ziegler

     Dr. Ziegler comes to us after serving as a general practice veterinarian on the Front Range for eleven years. Practice before that included working at the Aspen and Carbondale Animal Hospitals for one year and a one-year rotating internship at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital. While growing up in the mountains west of Denver, Dr. Z always wanted to become a veterinarian. A long detour included becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician at Colorado Mountain College which brought him to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1986. While attending CMC, Dr. Z. worked at a local ranch and other businesses which built character and a strong work ethic.

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "Beautiful facilities are not the reason behind a successful business, it's the people. This is especially true at Red Hill. I'm spreading the word; to be able to say something nice, rather than nothing at all is valuable juju from childhood! It's obvious each pet is treated with dignity and compassion. I'm impressed."
    Deborah E., Carbondale
  • "My dogs, past and present have been coming to Red Hill for boarding and vaccinations when we are at our home in Snowmass. Today, Dr. Natalya Taylor cleaned the teeth of our two Havanese. It was a great experience- Dr. Taylor’s and the tech’s (Brigitte) expertise, knowledge, caring and caution - made this about the best dog-care experience I have ever had. I would 100% recommend Dr. Taylor and staff for any type of dog care. The support staff are really helpful and knowledgeable and the practice is well-organized Thanks, again, Red Hill."
    Marina H., Snowmass Village
  • "The best, most, caring, amazing vets I've ever experienced in 55 years. I simply cannot say more. The are just the best with fair prices, incredible staff and a lovely atmosphere where your pet is greeted like royalty and cared for the same way."
    Kellee M., Snowmass
  • "Dr Ziegler is caring, knowledgeable and your pet's best advocate. I traveled from Boulder to have him perform my dog's needed surgery. ..and would do it again in a heartbeat...The Carbondale community is very lucky to have him."
    Mary D., Niwot Carbondale, CO
  • "Please see that Dr Ziegler gets my deep appreciation for all that he does for Dude and me. We have seen many veterinarians over the years , Jim Ziegler beats them all, hands down. If you can post this so other dog lovers can read the message it would be a good thing See you next summer!"
