Julaine Hunter, DVM

Dr. Julaine Hunter is a graduate of the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation she completed a year long, rotating field and hospital large animal internship being trained by the great vets at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After the UT internship this she sought additional equine specialty training at the first state veterinary school in the United States, founded in 1879, Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The next stop was a mixed animal practice which emphasized small animal medicine and surgery. This experience led to an increased interest in canine and feline medicine as well as soft tissue surgery in particular. Dr. Hunter has found the skills derived originally from equine practice to be readily applicable to that of her smaller though no less captivating patients.

It is her desire to nurture, to strengthen and to enhance the bond between her clients and her patients throughout their entire lifespan via the practice of preventative and wellness-based medicine, early therapeutic intervention and compassionate, dignified, end of life care.

Dr. Hunter is passionate about her vocation and annually attends numerous local middle school career day events in the hopes of inspiring young people to seek training in the sciences, and hopefully, a few will become vets. In addition, she provides private, behind the scenes tours of the Frisco LazyPaw Animal Hospitals clinic to school groups, boys and girls clubs and Mommy And Me organizations. (Source)
