As a Level II accredited USDA veterinarian, I am grateful for the opportunities to work with large animals and support producers through high-quality, responsible veterinary care.

Working buffalo with my sons was a meaningful reminder of why I value this profession—educating the next generation, continuing to learn, collaborating with outstanding clients, and passing along the importance of this work while creating lasting memories.

If you need large animal or equine regulatory services—including bull trichomoniasis testing, heifer Bangs vaccination, brucellosis testing, tuberculosis testing, Coggins testing, or assistance with Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) for animal import or export—give us a call at Altitude Veterinary Services. We’re here to help!

When it matters most, aim high with Altitude Veterinary Services.

✨ November Pet Spotlight — Altitude Veterinary Services ✨
This month, we’re honoring the pets and families who show incredible strength while navigating some of the toughest diagnoses. November is both Pet Cancer Awareness Month and Pet Diabetes Awareness Month — two conditions we see often, and ones where early detection truly makes a difference.

💛Pet Cancer Awareness
Cancer can affect pets of any age or breed. Keep an eye out for:
• New or changing lumps
• Abdominal swelling
• Difficulty eating or breathing
• Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent limping or swelling
• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Abnormal bleeding or sores that don’t heal
If you ever notice something concerning, we’re here to help guide the next steps.

💙 Pet Diabetes Awareness
Diabetes is more common in senior pets, but with proper management, diabetic pets can live long, happy lives. Watch for:
• Increased thirst and urination
• Weight loss despite a good appetite
• Cloudy eyes
• Decreased energy
Early diagnosis and consistent care make a world of difference.

🐾 Our team is here to support your pets at every stage of their health journey.

🩺At Altitude Veterinary Services, your pet’s well-being is always our highest priority.
