Our staff is the heart and soul of North Boulder Companion Animal Hospital.

Please do not schedule an appointment within two weeks of travel without providing the clinic with prior notification.
We are also offering the following services for our clients to help minimize exposure:
For patients needing examinations and treatments, we can allow you to remain in your car and obtain history via phone or the window. We will provide you with an estimate for services and take your pet into the hospital for treatment. We can then return your pet to you and complete the visit.
For prescription and food pick up, please call the clinic when you pull into the parking space in front. We will bring your items to your car for your convenience.
