Pet Orthopedic Surgery

Restore Your Pet’s Mobility and Enhance Their Quality of Life

At Kindness Animal Hospital, we understand how important your pet’s mobility and comfort are to their overall quality of life. Our dedicated team offers comprehensive pet orthopedic surgery to ensure your pet receives the highest level of treatment and attention.

Comprehensive Consultations
Our journey to restoring your pet’s mobility begins with a thorough consultation. We assess your pet’s condition, discuss treatment options, and address any concerns or questions you may have. Before surgery, we conduct pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure that your pet is in the best possible health for the procedure.

about our clinic –
Big Island pet care center

Dr. Grune, a visionary in the field of veterinary medicine, founded our clinic in 1990. Opening his own practice was the realization of his lifelong dream—to deliver the highest level of care to animals in need.

Through his clinic, Dr. Grune has surpassed his expectations and provided comprehensive and compassionate care for dogs and cats throughout Hawaii. We prioritize client education and have created a comfortable space where pets and parents feel at ease.

Our lovely clinic is located within a retrofitted house. It exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-air lanai serves as our waiting room, and the surrounding landscaped grounds provide a serene environment to promote relaxation for your pet.

Our hands-on approach ensures that your furry friends receive personalized attention and care. We genuinely strive for the best for your pet and aim to build lasting relationships with both pets and their devoted owners. Our dedicated veterinarians and staff are here to meet all your pet healthcare needs.

Our Expert Orthopedic Surgeon

We are proud to partner with board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Steve Gentry, who brings experience and expertise to our practice. Dr. Gentry performs orthopedic surgeries in our state-of-the-art surgical suite, including:

  • Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO)
  • Medial patella luxation (MPL) repair
  • Most fracture repairs (pinning & plating)
  • Hip pinning (instead of femoral head ostectomy - FHO)

And more!

Post-Operative Therapy
We use a medical-grade K-Laser treatment program to accelerate your pet’s healing after their orthopedic procedure and help them feel more comfortable as they recover. Laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless procedure that reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and encourages tissue repair. Learn more about the benefits of laser therapy on our Pet Laser Therapy page.
