We would not recommend this Vet for any treatment of any animal for any reason. He has turned our…read morelives upside down. After my husband and I had our first child, we moved from Mpls in 2022, into a new home in Burnsville. With all the excitement, we decided to get a puppy. We found a very reputable breeder of Golden Retrievers through friends. At this point our life was so perfect we couldn't be happier. New home, new baby, new puppy. The American dream was falling into place. After a yr we thought we should take our precious puppy in for her first checkup. A neighbor recommended Dr Hunt at the Palomino Hospital-Clinic in Burnsville. Before the appointment we researched vaccinations for animals & found they're not all necessarily intended to help animals, some can potentially harm them & even cause death. When we brought this up to Dr Hunt, he became very defensive & appeared almost angry as if we were out of line for even questioning vaccines. He assured us that they were not harmful & that our puppy would be just fine. So, with some reservations, we put our faith & trust in him. Little did we know this would have devastating consequences. A few weeks before XMAS of '25 our beautiful retriever became sick. She was losing weight, had no energy & couldn't keep food down. She was getting worse by the day. We were dumbfounded. She had impeccable lineage, was fed the finest foods & exercised daily. We researched her symptoms and found it could be the results of vaccinations. The only vax she ever had where the ones Dr Hunt had guaranteed us were so safe. We immediately took her to a new vet at a new clinic. Our worst nightmare was coming true. After a battery of tests, it was confirmed. Our baby had cancer. It was terminal. With this diagnosis, and the info we supplied, the Dr agreed, it certainly could have been caused by the vaccinations she got as a pup. How do you tell your 4yr old child her beautiful dog is dying & we have to euthanize her because you trusted a bad vet. Dr. Hunt from Palomino Hospital/Clinic must be one of the most unprofessional Dr's we've ever encountered. The biggest regret of our life was not leaving when we got so much resistance when asking questions about the vax. It felt as if he was hiding something and trying to keep us from asking more questions. We thought we may have been over cautious, but in hindsight we were right on point. If we knew then, what we know now, we would have never taken our baby to that evil man. He destroyed the emotional fabric of our new beginning, in our new home, with our first child. We can't stop crying over the devastating loss of our beautiful pet that we loved like our child. It is going to take a long time to get thru this bad experience. We seriously beg anyone thinking of using the Palomino Clinic, to not. If you already are, please find someone new. He is dangerous. He is not a nice person & not the kind of professional you want treating your family pet. The neighbor that recommended him is horrified. Please make the right decision. GOD BLESS!!!

I feel she truly cares about him and will always treat him as if he was her own. I have expressed that he doesn't do well at all in a kennel at all , so she doesn't put him in one.

I have even had emergencies over a weekend and the dr will make contact and advise on how to handle the situation. I have also brought a yorkie Maddie that had some major dental issues and they were so good with her.. She needed to stay overnight because she had an extensive surgery so they let me know the vet tech who spent the night with her , I had a direct # to contact if I wanted to check in on my baby.. i was reassured that the Dr was just a couple minutes away from the clinic.. I got another Yorkie BeeBee from Nebraska thru Pet finder and she was having some medical issues from day 1 and they have been so helpful.... They contact you after they have their procedure with updates... And the following day after a visit, they call and ask if you have any questions, they check in on your pup to make sure everything is going well. I do agree that they are on the pricey side but if you were to actually stay there and see what's all involved, which they will allow you to as long as you let them know ahead of time.. I feel these drs and techs don't get shown the appreciation that they should be shown... It's very clean in the exam rooms and the different areas in the back where they do the procedures are in excellent condition.. I am very impressed with everything at Pet Crossing....
