We'd like to introduce everybody to "Moose", who was selected as our October Pet Of The Month!

Moose, even prior to establishing recent care with us, has diligently been brought in by his loving owner, Michael, for what we call Happy Visits! They visit us several days a week to romp around in the yard, have positive engagement with our staff members and solid play time! While Moose is still cautious of us & a bit shy, his bravery and progress has been felt by our entire staff - he's come such a long way! He even has his own designated ball at our front desk! 🎾 Michael's dedication to providing Moose with the most positive experience possible at Highlands Animal Clinic certainly serves as a fantastic example of consistency, diligence, patience, and LOVE for his furriest friend. We look forward to many more happy visits with them both as we continue to build a long term relationship with Moose! ❤️🐾

We've upgraded our online pharmacy & it will go LIVE on November 12th! What does this mean? It means that we have switched our online pharmacy platform to a new service, which will offer improved pricing on your pets' prescriptions, more discounts & available rebates, faster shipping times, and beyond! We've heard everybody's feedback and listened intently since incorporating our previous online pharmacy platform, and we are over the moon to offer our clients a more affordable & streamlined experience.

If you are an existing online pharmacy user with us, no action is needed from you! We have taken care of all the technical doo-dads associated with transferring your prescriptions and accounts over. You may continue to access our online pharmacy via our website, or via the PetDesk app!

Will you be a new user who's considering supporting your local veterinarian? You may access our new online pharmacy on HighlandsAnimalClinic.com!

We understand change is scary, especially when it comes to our beloved four legged friends! Should you have any questions or concerns, our team is here to help. Just give us a shout!

CALLING ALL SENIOR PETS! 🐾 Highlands Animal Clinic will be dedicating the month of November to National Senior Pet Wellness month once again! What does this mean? It means all pets 8 years or older will receive 100% OFF of their Senior Wellness Exams, with the purchase of senior bloodwork! Annual blood work is one of the most important measures for preventative care that you can take for your pet. Annual bloodwork, especially for our senior pets, offers comfort that your pet looks as good on the inside as they do on the outside. ✨ It also also gives us a range to look back on so that we may know what their "normal" is, in the case that they may ever feel ill in the future. Our goal at Highlands Animal Clinic is to give you and your pet as MANY birthdays to celebrate together as possible! Give us a call at your earliest convenience to get scheduled for November, or schedule through our PetDesk app - we are certainly looking forward to hearing from you all and look forward to recognizing our senior pets of Denver.

The ball on National Vet Tech Week continues to roll!

Devin joined the Highlands Animal Clinic team in 2023 and has since been such a valuable member of our practice. She is knowledgeable, funny, and always puts her best foot forward each day. Devin's highlight is extra special, as she has been working towards her goal of becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician for several years now - she was awarded her certification this past week! 🎉 She is also the chairman of the Jemmy (our clinic cat) Fan Club! 🐱

"Hey, there! I'm Devin and I have been a tech assistant for about 12 years, up until this week when I was awarded my Registered Veterinary Technician status! I've worked in general practice, mixed animal practice, and at specialty hospitals in the surgery department. I have wanted to work with animals for as long as I can remember! I have about 11 animals, which include 2 snakes, 2 dogs, 5 cats, and 2 horses.

Meet Ashlie, another one of our valued Registered Veterinary Technicians! While Ashlie is newer to the Highlands Animal Clinic team as of this year, she has certainly made a place for herself on our staff as one of our cat ladies. Here's what Ashlie has to say...

"My name is Ashlie and I've been a vet tech since 2014! My favorite part is definitely the 🌶️ spicy kitties 🌶️. Almost half of my career has been spent in feline only medicine! I also love that I can help those that otherwise don't have a voice.
I'm originally from Massachusetts and have been living in Denver for 15 years now. I enjoy art, snowboarding, hiking, and going to too many concerts."

Thank you for everything you do, Ash!
