Midtown Veterinary Medical Center

Juneau has found his new home just before Christmas and we're so happy for him! He's a two-year-old husky adopted through the NOCO Humane Society and came in for his first vet visit at Midtown Veterinary Medical Center last week. Juneau seems to be doing so well with his new family.

Remember the Rule of 333 when adopting: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines and show personality, and 3 months to feel secure and build trust.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most emotionally difficult decisions a family can face. Grief, love, doubt, and responsibility all converge into a single moment, and many people worry deeply about “getting it right.” At Midtown VMC, we understand the weight of this decision, and we want our clients to know that we honor both the bond you share with your pet and the courage required to make this choice.

Euthanasia is, in my opinion, one of the most important services we provide, and it must be done with compassion, skill, and gentleness. A pet’s final moments matter greatly! Planning for that experience ahead of time, before your pet is in crisis, can help ensure a peaceful, intentional, and loving transition.

We are very fortunate in Fort Collins to have Dr. Emilea Burton, an independent veterinarian who focuses exclusively on home-based end-of-life care. Many of our clients have used her services and speak incredibly highly of the comfort, compassion, and calm presence she brings to these moments. When families feel their pet would be most at ease at home, Dr. Burton is the person we confidently recommend.

Okay, sometimes we do play with puppies! We were so happy to meet little Juniper - but don't let her size fool you. She may be all of four pounds and only nine weeks old, but she is one touch cookie!

She was in recently for her first puppy visit and was a champ! We can't wait to watch this little girl grow up into a beautiful, little Jack Russell Terrier!

We are so happy to introduce our newest team member, Olivia! She started working with us the week before Christmas as a veterinary assistant.

Olivia moved to Fort Collins from CA, to attend Colorado State University, where she graduated in Spring 2025, with a degree in Equine Science. After working as an assistant trainer, however, she decided to shift her focus toward gaining hands-on experience in a veterinary clinic and plans to continue her education by earning her Veterinary Technician Certification.

In her free time, Olivia can usually be found out on the trails with her childhood horse, Eagle, and her dog, Oakley. She also enjoys hiking, dancing, or curling up with a good book.

Welcome, Olivia! We're so very happy to have your on our team!

If our boy Bob is looking a bit out of it here, it's because he was pretty stoned after having some procedures done. Bob was not eating well due to a mass in his mouth. He also had rhinitis (inflammation in his nasal passages).

Bob has recovered and is doing well at home now. We're hoping the diagnostics will lead to some clear answers so we can help this beautiful boy feel better.

We appreciate Bob's family trusting us with his care and allowing us to share his story here.
