Dr. Hunt is amazing. My dog ran off last night. She hates males but this man had the perfect gentle touch. He kept her safe until I found her. You rock!

After cornering our dog, creating an anxious environment and our dog trying to show their fear by showing teeth, the vet used his knuckles on our dogs head, punching her. They had been great up until this point where they were taking blood and giving vaccines with no distractions, no treats, just poking and prodding her then discipling when our animal was afraid. The vet then explained that it was necessary to show the animals who the "alpha" is, even if that means physical force. Then when we moved vets, they stated it's their "policy" not to release vet records directly to owners. Thank you for instilling fear in our dog in a place where she was previously so comfortable.

Very knowledgable doctor. I have been taking my dog here for six years. Recently my dog was experiencing noise anxiety from fireworks and thunder storms. My dogs activities was anxious and shivering for the most part of the day. It was really sad to see my dog go through that. The doctor was able to recognize and understand the problem and gave the necessary medication. After 1-2 weeks my dog is back to normal and he is active and playful. Thanks for your service!

Dr. Hunt and his team are beyond incredible!! The customer service, the kindness to us and our dog, and his strong commitment and knowledge regarding the overall health of pets is unmatched in the Twin Cites! If you want a vet who will care for your pet like his own, go see Dr. Hunt! He has cared for our childhood family golden retrievers for over 25+ years, and now he cares for my family golden. He is there when you need him, and always offers such helpful advice! We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hunt and Palomino Pet Hospital & Clinic!

Dr. Hunt and his staff have taken excellent care of my dogs since I moved to Apple Valley. They have been there for routine care as well as more serious health concerns. I'm grateful for their skill and compassion.
