This vet was near my new residence. The fact that they were close to me is the only positive thing I can say. I had just adopted 2 dogs from a shelter. I wanted them to have a check-up as advised by the shelter and was told they offer them free for adopted dogs. My appointment was at 2:30. The girl at the front desk had multiple phone calls and was not able to check me in for about 10 minutes. I waited in the lobby another 10 minutes before I was shown to a room with my dogs. There were no other clients there. I waited another 10 minutes in the room for the same front desk person to come in and look over the paperwork (which I had to explain to her) and then go back to the vet and then come back and start recommending services needed. I stopped her and said I just came in for a check up. The vet came in and tried to shame me in to getting services for my dogs that they did not need. He went on to tell me how a responsible dog owner would not be in a hurry and he likes to spend an hour with new dog owners to teach them about caring for their dog. Mind you, I have been a dog owner my entire life. My dogs have all lived long and happy lives. It was a very unpleasant experience. I will drive 20 minutes to my old vet and would not recommend this vet to anyone.

Dr. Hunt is wonderful and has been so helpful over the years. He must be good to work for as a bunch of his people have moved on to school to become Vets, he always has good staff. We have had to ask a few hard questions and asked them to go above and beyond the call of whats considered normal over the years (nothing big, things like our 160Lbs Otis past away and they close in 2 mins. but they stayed open 40 mins. longer so we could bring him in - stuff like that) and Palomino Pet Hospital has always risen to the occasion like champs. Thank you Dr. Hunt for all your help keeping fur babies healthy and helping us say goodbye when we must - Your good people, thanks.

New to the area, we found Dr. Hunt at an outreach event with the community. Thank goodness we did, because our last vet did not find the thick plaque on our dogs back teeth. Dr. Hunt was able to completely remove it without using anesthesia. He has such a calm demeanor and is so knowledgeable, but also relatable (to animals AND humans)---my dogs teeth are clean enough to star in a commercial now! But more importantly a clean mouth contributes to overall good health. Well be staying with our new vet!

My dog got sick and took her to this clinic, the doctor gave me the wrong medicine and ended up getting an allergie all over her body, later on she started getting seizures and sadly passed away. I hate the doctor and I think hes the one who killed my dog and wouldnt recommend, coming to this place if you dont want your dog to get sick because the doctor is trash and doesnt know any thing about dogs and hes dumb his last name is hunt.

After we got our dog, we visited two clinics, this being the second one. We stuck with this one because everyone, from the assistants to the vet, will explain and talk through everything to you, and explain what they provide, and what your pet actually NEEDS. Super friendly, and usually have specials going on for heart worm and flea/tick control.

Love this place. I was new to Minnesota and needed a place to board my dogs while I traveled. I stumbled upon this place by luck, and they were fantastic! Both dogs HATE when I leave, but they never seemed to mind leaving me once they got here. The girls were so sweet, and I know they were well taken care of. Thanks again, Palamino Pet!

The vet there knew what he was talking about, and doesnt try to sell you things you dont need. Both of our dogs are healthy and they take good care of them. They are gentle to the animals, know how to treat them, and are professional about the whole process.

We have a relationship that we value very much with dr. Ron and his staff. Our dogs are a little high maintenance, and have some health issues so the patience, understanding and advice is always greatly appreciated. Very caring approach...

I really like Dr. Hunt. He takes a lot of time. When my dog had dry-eye he knew who to refer me to. During a serious illness his "nurse" called frequently to check my dogs condition and offer support.

I would not recommend this place to anyone !!! The staff is NOT well trained to handle animals at all. Terrible experience !! Plus its a very small facility..

Dr. Hunt and his staff do a beautiful job relating to our anxious dog. They truly care about the animal and do excellent work.
