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.

The Importance of Pet Dental Care

Good oral hygiene is more than just a bright smile—it can prevent serious health issues for your pet. Dental problems in pets can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and systemic health issues like heart and kidney disease.

Regular dental exams and cleanings are crucial to preventing dental issues and maintaining your pet’s oral health. If we determine, during your pet’s examination or cleaning, that a dental extraction is necessary, our skilled team will perform the procedure with the utmost care and expertise.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
Some indications that your pet is in need of dental care include:

  • Bad Breath
  • Difficulty Chewing or Eating
  • Excessive Drooling
  • Pawing at the Mouth
  • Visible Tartar or Discoloration

If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, don’t wait to bring them in for dental care. Dr. Townsend and his fantastic team can get your pet on the path to a healthier smile.
