Dr. Laura Meyer
Dr. Laura Meyer was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She knew by the age of six that she wanted to become a veterinarian but waited until she was eighteen to start working in the veterinary field. She moved to Colorado in 1987 to attend Colorado State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in biology in 1992 and her doctorate in veterinary medicine in 1996. After graduation, she worked for a year at a clinic in Windsor, Colorado before coming to Longs Peak Animal Hospital in 1997. In 2006, she bought Longs Peak Animal Hospital from Dr. Mike Cousins and Dr. Betsy Byrne and strives to maintain the practice philosophy they developed over the years.
