Who Puts the “Caring” Back Into Veterinary Care
Welcome to Dirigo Veterinary Care, where compassionate care meets community commitment. We’re more than just a veterinary clinic; we’re your neighbors, friends, and partners in your pet’s health journey.
about our clinic –
Big Island pet care center
Dr. Grune, a visionary in the field of veterinary medicine, founded our clinic in 1990. Opening his own practice was the realization of his lifelong dream—to deliver the highest level of care to animals in need.
Through his clinic, Dr. Grune has surpassed his expectations and provided comprehensive and compassionate care for dogs and cats throughout Hawaii. We prioritize client education and have created a comfortable space where pets and parents feel at ease.
Our lovely clinic is located within a retrofitted house. It exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-air lanai serves as our waiting room, and the surrounding landscaped grounds provide a serene environment to promote relaxation for your pet.
Our hands-on approach ensures that your furry friends receive personalized attention and care. We genuinely strive for the best for your pet and aim to build lasting relationships with both pets and their devoted owners. Our dedicated veterinarians and staff are here to meet all your pet healthcare needs.
Meet Dr. Matthew Townsend
Our caring and passionate veterinarian, Dr. Townsend, is the heart and soul of our clinic. As a proud Maine native raised on a dairy farm, he brings a deep commitment to serving the people and animals that make Waterville truly special. Dr. Townsend’s diverse background and steadfast dedication have solidified his position as a trusted figure in the region.
Dr. Townsend has spent 25 years in the Waterville community, and his involvement extends far beyond the clinic’s doors. He actively participates in the town council and works closely with the humane society, embodying our commitment to giving back.
Our commitment to the community remains unchanged, and we take pride in being a very local and independent full-service facility.
