A board-certified veterinary specialist is a veterinarian with advanced education and training in a specific discipline of veterinary medicine. His or her knowledge and skill in this area is evaluated and recognized by a specialty organization or “college” sanctioned by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Throughout the past 15 years, there has been tremendous growth in the volume of new information and procedures available within the veterinary field. As a result, it is virtually impossible for any one veterinarian to be an expert in every medical discipline. As in human medicine, this reality has led to the development of advanced training programs in specialized areas. If your pet needs advanced care for a particular condition, injury, or illness, your family veterinarian may refer him or her to a veterinary specialist. This is where we come in!
The partnership between a specialty and a family veterinarian is important. Specialists are an extension of your family veterinarian, and we work closely together to provide a comprehensive healthcare plan for your pet. We will always keep your veterinarian informed of your pet’s medical updates and proposed treatment options, so you can feel fully supported and confident in making the best decisions for your pet.
We pride ourselves on being highly involved in the Longmont and Boulder communities by supporting many local non-profit organizations and community events throughout the year. Below are some of the organizations we partner with.
Since our doors first opened in 2004, we have been strong advocates of the “Going Green” movement and always aim to keep our earth as healthy as possible in the same way we do our patients. We share the planet with many amazing creatures and pride ourselves in doing what we can to make less of a negative impact on the environment.
Our Longmont location is proud to be LEED-certified, which is awarded to buildings with low environmental impact and a sustainable design, as well as PACE-certified, which recognizes leaders in the business community who are setting the standard for environmental sustainability. We were the first veterinary hospital in the state to hold either of these distinctions. Read on to learn more about how we maintain a low-impact, energy-efficient hospital.

We make a big effort to keep up with all of the latest veterinary innovations and trends. Fear Free is a movement that promotes low-stress veterinary visits for pets. Unlike their human parents, pets don’t always know that we are here to help and will sometimes express signs of fear or stress during their visit. It is our mission to create as calm an environment as possible so that your pet can have a pleasant experience with us, which is why we have designated Fear Free Certified staff members who are specially trained in low-stress handling techniques to reduce fear and anxiety in your pet. They ensure that special attention is given to keep nervous pets relaxed and comfortable throughout their visit.
If your pet gets anxious at the vet, please be sure to let us know ahead of time and we can make certain accommodations for a low-stress visit. Feel free to bring along any favorite treats, blankets, or toys to your next appointment so that your pet can feel more at ease. Be sure to ask your Aspen Meadow technician or veterinarian about the Fear Free(sm) movement to learn more.
