Our Team

"Hands down the best vet in town! Dr. Rowe is kind, compassionate and as fair as they come. His staff is great also. We're always treated with respect by Dr. Rowe and I've never felt like he didn't have what was absolutely best for my pet in mind. They have great prices and a beautiful facility. Highly recommend."

Dr. Tim Rowe ~ Veterinarian/Owner

I am tremendously proud of Timberline Animal Hospital. After providing veterinary care with a local Fort Collins Hospital since 2007, the time came for me to bring my vision of veterinary excellence to life. I opened Timberline Animal Hospital in the Summer of 2013. My professional passions are dentistry, internal medicine, surgery, and developing trusting relationships with pets and their people. My promise to you is to deliver compassionate care with outstanding service to both you and your pet and never lose sight of my core values as a veterinarian.

I earned my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2005 and was the recipient of The Pfizer Veterinary Specialty Team Award for Excellence and Clinical Proficiency in Internal Medicine. After graduation I moved to Northern California and practiced in a very busy hospital for two years. My family and I missed Fort Collins and we returned in 2007.

I grew up in Albuquerque and many of my family members still call New Mexico home. My wife, Heather, and I are empty nesters and enjoy skiing, camping, hiking, playing games, and watching movies together.. Accumulating pets is an occupational hazard of being a veterinarian and our pet family consists of many dogs and cats (but I won’t say how many because the number can change at anytime).

I look forward to seeing you!
