About Us
At Chaparral Animal Health Center, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for your beloved pets. Our integrated companion animal practice focuses on family practice and internal medicine, combining holistic therapies with traditional Western medical treatments. We strive to create a nurturing environment where your pets receive the best possible care.
Our team, led by Dr. David McCluggage, has been serving the Longmont community since 1981. Dr. McCluggage is a renowned holistic veterinarian with extensive experience in complementary and alternative veterinary medicine. He has been recognized for his contributions to the field, including being named the Holistic Veterinarian of the Year by the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association in 2000.
We offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of your pets. Our practice includes routine check-ups, vaccinations, and diagnostic tests. We also provide surgical services, often using sedation-based techniques to ensure your pet's comfort. In addition to conventional treatments, we offer complementary therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and Chinese herbal medicine.
Our commitment to holistic care extends beyond medical treatments. We believe in educating pet owners on the best ways to feed, house, and nurture their animals. Our website, wellvet.com, is a valuable resource for companion animal owners, featuring articles on various topics including feeding, vaccinating, chronic diseases, and general animal care.
At Chaparral Animal Health Center, we understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and support you need to keep your pets healthy and happy. We look forward to serving you and your furry friends.
