Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Surgeons are medical professionals whose primary responsibility is protecting the health and welfare of animals and people. The term "Veterinarian" comes from veterinae, which means "working animals." Every veterinarian has gone through extensive medical training for animals and has received a license to practice veterinary medicine.
Veterinarians diagnose and control animal diseases, treat sick and injured animals, prevent the transmission of animal diseases to people, and advise owners on proper care of pets and livestock. They ensure a safe food supply by maintaining the health of food animals. Veterinarians are also involved in wildlife preservation and conservation and public health of the human population.

As our pets live longer veterinarians are faced with many of the same concerns as human physicians. Older pets are more prone to organ failure, cancer and oral disease. The Complete Health Profile is part of our effort to avert or lessen the impact of potential problems to your pet's health.
The Complete Health Profile is an extension of our regular exam and in addition includes a Blood Chemistry Panel, a Complete Blood Count, an electrocardiogram, a Urinalysis or X-rays and possibly Thyroid Testing.An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Routine vaccination against major diseases as well as preventive medications to reduce heartworm and flea infestations are the backbone of illness prevention.

Hi, I am Paul, owner and veterinarian at Highland Animal Hospital. I grew up on a dude ranch in Colorado near Estes Park, graduated from CSU in 1972, and have owned Highland Animal Hospital since 1987. My wife of 41 years and I have two grown children and six grandchildren. I appreciate the confidence families place in us and am very grateful for the opportunities we have to provide good health care for so many pets we consider friends.

It is important to differentiate between vomiting and regurgitation. Vomiting is a dynamic process, with the dog actively using its stomach muscles. The material produced by vomiting will look digested. Regurgitation is a passive process, the dog appears to just burp up contents. The material produced does not appear digested.
Renal failure can occur in cats of any age, although senior cats are at increased risk for chronic renal failure. For both acute and chronic renal failure, early diagnosis can make a significant difference for a cat's long-term health prognosis.

This vet was recommended to me by an another vet service, and I feel so lucky to have ended up here. All the receptionists and assistants I've encountered have been sweet, professional, and caring. And Dr. Boehm is the absolute best. My pup has a relatively rare condition, and Dr. Boehm was incredibly thorough regarding looking at treatment options for her. He was also very thorough in explaining those options, next steps, and how to care for her, which I really appreciate. It's clear that he's passionate about his work and truly cares about rehabilitating pets, and he's been a pleasure to deal
