Animal Wellness Veterinary Clinic

Specialties & Services

About the Practice

The clinic is an early 20th-century renovated Cape Cod-style home, with beautiful wood floors, custom period finish work, and abundant natural lighting. The building sits on a large campus with updated landscaping. The clinic is a quiet and peaceful space, and we only see one appointment at a time. This allows Doctor Hunter to provide you with her full attention during your visit.

The clinic does not board nor hospitalize patients, so you will not experience the “background noise” you are used to hearing at other clinics. The practice walls are lined with shelves of highly researched specialty products including foods, supplements, and herbs.

We pride ourselves on creating a happy, comfortable, inviting space for you and your pet. We want everyone to be stress-free and happy to return, pets and owners alike. The clinic does offer full laboratory services such as bloodwork, urinalysis, cytology, and fecal, along with X-Ray services, however the clinic does not offer surgical procedures that require anesthesia such as dental, spays, or neuters. The clinic is intended to be a specialty outpatient facility only.

We look forward to meeting you and your pet!
