Cullman Veterinary Hospital, P.C.

Cullman Veterinary Hospital, P.C. We are a veterinary practice that specializes in small animal care located in Cullman, Alabama. A little bit of our history-
Steven T.

Murphree, D.V.M., purchased Cullman Veterinary Hospital in January 1985 from Dr. David Simpson. In the 1950s, Cullman Veterinary Hospital was both a large and small animal facility. In 1989, the decision was made to sell the large animal portion of the practice to an associate veterinarian. At that time, Cullman Veterinary Hospital became a 100% small animal treatment facility. In 1990, Dr. Dana Kessler joined the practice as an associate veterinarian. Her expertise and knowledge has proven to be a valuable asset to the practice. The hospital soon needed room for expansion and Cullman Veterinary Hospital moved into its new facility in August 2001. The new facility contains 2 surgery suites complete with video imaging, laser surgery and endoscopy. Four exam rooms, a conference room, an expanded laboratory, and added kennel space for housing cats and dogs compliment the new hospital. Dr. Tara Bonds became an associate in 2011. Her knowledge and caring attitude compliments our team in practicing high quality veterinary medicine.

Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's diet—especially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skin—can cause issues ranging from diarrhea to pancreatitis, and some human foods can even poison your pets. Side dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes may contain garlic, onion, leeks, or chives that are toxic to dogs and cats. Desserts may include dangerous-to-pets ingredients like chocolate, raisins, currants, and Xylitol (a popular sugar substitute)—so reserve the sweet stuff for humans only. Plus, chewing and swallowing bones may cause a life-threatening obstruction that requires emergency surgery.

Regardless of whether it’s because you live in close quarters or if you just feel more comfortable owning a smaller dog, there are several breeds to choose from that’ll be the right fit for your family! Like all breeds, the smallest dogs in the world require special care, one of which is early socialization. Smaller dogs tend to be easily intimidated, which can cause them to lash out and defend themselves in unhealthy ways so socialization with other dogs is key. Are you searching for more information about how to properly care for your small dogs? We'd love to help with that! Call us at 256-734-2181 for all your care questions.🐶💕
