Laurel Veterinary Clinic is excited to welcome your pet invertebrates as patients here in Broomfield! They may not be conventionally cute and cuddly, but invertebrates can be just as enjoyable to love and care for. While they might seem like low-maintenance companions, invertebrates come with their own unique needs and potential health risks, about which we’ll be glad to educate you.
Invertebrate animals we can treat include:
Tarantulas • Scorpions • Centipedes • Honeybees
If your invertebrate pet isn’t on this list, contact us today at (303) 552-3520 to find out if we can see them.
