Routine Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help maintain animal health through early disease detection. Veterinarians perform full physical assessments, monitor vital signs, and discuss preventative care plans. These visits ensure pets and livestock receive timely vaccinations and tailored health guidance based on their specific needs and lifestyle factors.
Dental Care
Professional dental services prevent oral disease through thorough cleanings and examinations. We offer scaling, polishing, fluoride treatments, and extractions when necessary. Our team provides home care education to maintain dental hygiene between visits, addressing issues like tartar buildup and gum disease that affect overall animal health.

Report
Our English Mastiff, George has been limping on his hind legs for a really long time. Another vet office wanted to do a $5000 surgery that would require months of rehab and limited movement. I heard about Dr Deeter at Bruns from a friend. He did the first in a series of 6 laser treatments to Georges legs and he actually walked up our stairs last night to see what we were doing on his own. He hasnt been up our stairs in at least a month despite being on pain pills and joint supplements. Dr Deeter has given us hope for our big boy and given him his quality of life back at an really reasonable

Amazing veterinarians! They are very quick to get you into a room and seen. They have been great at listening to any concerns I've had. They are also the best vet in the area for cremations. We've sadly had tk use that service in the past and we were so happy with how that was all handled.

I took my 3-month Poodle puppy here because the breeder brings his dogs here. I switched from another vet in Greenville that I absolutely loved but his prices are pretty high compared to this one. The first time I went to Bruns I had some short little doctor who was very quiet didn't say a whole lot, he seemed a little indifferent, and I wasn't comfortable with him. I really didn't know what was going on. Second time I went in I had Dr. Bruns and I was impressed with him. Very nice. Took my dog there a month or so later for grooming. Not impressed! Groomer said she was the best six month old puppy
