Laurel Veterinary Clinic

If you live in Broomfield or the surrounding area and need a trusted veterinarian to care for your pets - look no further. Your pets' health and wellbeing are very important to us, and we take every possible measure to work with you to give your animals the care they deserve. Laurel Veterinary Clinic is a full-service animal hospital and welcomes pet patients in need of medical, surgical, and dental care. Our veterinarians have years of experience treating serious conditions and offering regular pet preventative and wellness care.

Our wellness procedures are designed to prevent disease and prolong the lives of your pets. Preventative care should begin the day you welcome a new pet into your home. For puppies and kittens, we recommend beginning a vaccination series between six and eight weeks of age. While receiving appropriate vaccinations is important, the comprehensive physical examinations, intestinal parasite screenings and precautionary dewormings that are also administered during this series will help ensure your new family member is off to a happy, healthy start.

Pet vaccinations are important for all dogs and cats; even the ones that remain indoors most, if not all, of the time because they could still catch an airborne virus from outside at potty time or through an open window or door screen. More often than not, viruses are spread due to contact with other infected animals that are wild or whose owners did not elect to keep their pet vaccinations up to date.

The primary reason you should have your pet spayed or neutered early on is that female dogs and cats can begin their heat cycles as early as seven months and males can develop aggressive behaviors during puppyhood or kittenhood. After doing an exam on your pet, the doctor will present you with an estimate that goes over all the costs for the procedure.

Dental care is an important and often overlooked factor in keeping your pet healthy and happy. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by three years of age. Consistent home dental care and routine professional examinations can help prevent problems like bad breath or oral infections.
