The practice serves dog and cat owners, sporting dog handlers, and working animal handlers throughout the Denver and Westminster metropolitan areas, providing preventive exams, dental cleanings, soft-tissue and general surgeries, urgent care, and specialized rehabilitation. The Denver location is the site of the hospital's rehabilitation program, which prioritizes pain elimination and reduced reliance on pain medication. Urban Paw holds a rating of 4.80 from its clients.

The practice combines preventive care, surgery, rehabilitation, and fitness training into a single integrated healthcare system. Preventive care is built on four cornerstones: physical exams, internal diagnostic laboratory screenings, lifestyle-tailored vaccinations, and routine parasite containment. Surgical offerings include preventative spays and neuters as well as general soft-tissue procedures. Dental care involves oral exams with yearly cleanings recommended for all pets. Geriatric care targets animals over age seven, balancing preventive and interventional measures to help older pets live comfortably. The hospital is proudly women-owned and operates with a focus on environmental stewardship, donating to local nonprofits and streamlining the pet care experience through technology. Dr. Novara has been elected to the board of directors for the DCIS Foundation, reflecting the team's commitment to education and community partnerships.

Rehabilitation services are delivered by certified canine rehabilitation therapists (CCRT) and combine controlled underwater treadmill hydrotherapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, manual joint manipulation, therapeutic stretching, Class IV laser therapy, and custom pet mobility wheelchair fittings. Urgent care covers acute toxin ingestion, allergic reactions, severe vomiting or diarrhea, lacerations, sudden lameness, respiratory infections, and urinary tract obstructions. The hospital has earned the Westword Readers' Choice Award, the 2022 Best New Veterinary Hospital Award, and a 2023 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave designation.
