Adult Dog and Senior Dog Wellness

Thank you for your interest in the Meadows Veterinary Center,

Our primary concern is to help your pets live longer and healthier lives. We are committed to providing you and your pets the quality health care you want, and your pets need.

We are a full-service animal hospital- we provide:

  • Preventive and medical care decisions
  • Emergency and urgent care appointments
  • Superior dental care with our state-of-the-art dental equipment
  • Surgical services, not limited to spays and neuters

We believe that preventive care is the best way to keep pets healthy and happy!

One of the most important services we provide is the semi-annual preventive care examination. 

Twice yearly, we check your pet’s vital systems, create a baseline of health and proactively detect situations that might need attention.

Below are a list of health services we can provide during your next preventive care visit.

Vaccines

Vaccines are the best way to prevent disease in our companion animals.

We customize your pet’s vaccine schedule according to your lifestyle to make sure they are protected from the diseases they may be exposed to. 

Vaccinations needed for all Dogs in Northern Colorado

Rabies
This vaccine is required by Colorado State Law for all dogs.

Distemper-Parvo (DA2PP)
A core vaccine is given as a combination and immunizes against serious canine disease.

Leptospirosis
Recommended for all dogs due to the presence of wildlife in the area. This vaccine should be administered at 12 weeks and 16 weeks of age.

Additional Lifestyle Vaccines

Protect against respiratory infections that can develop into serious health concerns.

These vaccines are important for dogs that will be social with other dogs including boarding, grooming, dog parks, etc.

  • Bordetella
  • Influenza

Preventative Care Lab Screen

Lab screening is needed for early detection of disease or illness. Often, we will see changes on lab work much sooner than you would see signs or symptoms of illness at home.

A heartworm and tick test is needed every year, even if your pet is on year-round monthly parasite prevention.

Fecal parasite screenings are needed at least annually to make sure your pet is free of intestinal parasites.

Junior Lab Screening

Senior Lab Screening

Senior Pets are more likely to develop disease and may not show signs at home until the disease is advanced. Additional screening is needed for dogs over 7 years of age for early disease detection.

Blood Pressures

Glaucoma Screening

Cardiac Enzyme proBNP Test

We can now perform a same-day Screening Ultrasound, which helps us survey the heart, lung, and abdomen for abnormalities before your pet shows symptoms of change.

Parasite Prevention

We also offer Parasite Prevention to best fit your pet’s lifestyle. These medications will protect your dog against parasites including fleas, ticks, heartworms, hookworms, and roundworms.

Cost is based on the pet’s current weight.

Our goal is to work side by side with you to keep your pet as healthy as possible.

Please stop by for a tour of our hospital, and to meet Drs. Paternoster, DeBell, and the rest of the staff.
