Old Growth Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care

Old Growth Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care provides high-quality and evidence-based veterinary care in Puyallup, WA, when it matters most

Our hospital began with a dream by the founders Mitchell Fults, DVM, DACVECC and Shannan Hunter, LVT, VTS (SAIM) to create a new vision for the futures of veterinary professionals: Old Growth, New Vision. Many hospitals are frequently unable to see ill patients due to chronic staffing challenges. These staff are disengaged and experiencing burnout due to a lack of support and mentorship. Our staff is comprised of knowledgeable, caring, skilled, and compassionate professionals who have dedicated themselves to the care of animals and the families who love them. Our founders are dedicated to ensuring the staff is supported in their pursuit of becoming the best versions of themselves. We are a practice that believes strongly in diversity and inclusion and believes that all employees have value and a voice

Mission — It is our vision to foster a diverse and collaborative environment without boundaries where regardless of their position everyone has a voice and inherent value. We strive to exemplify trust and inspiration to empower all staff members to continue to learn and grow and become the best versions of themselves. We believe that a staff that feels supported will be better able to offer the best possible care to patients and clients and that we can foster an environment where our care staff and our clients can work together as a team to make excellent veterinary care accessible to our community
