We are writing with an update on our clinic hours. You may or may not know that there is a severe shortage of workers for the veterinary field. This has resulted in clinics turning clients away, longer wait times to get in and overall burn out for those in the profession. We are happy to report that we have continued to accept new clients, we are usually able to get pets seen relatively quickly and we want to continue to do that.
We are changing our hours to help us to be more efficient. This is to allow our staff time to address our own home lives and to be able to focus better on patient care the other 4 days of the work week. We are able to handle more appointments and drop-offs as well as work-in emergencies when we have a balanced life outside of work. It is our goal to prevent burnout and help our staff feel renewed in our efforts to increase our caseload the rest of the week.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and we are happy to work around schedules to get your pet in the other days of the week.

About Us
Report
Dr. Walter J. Hutto built and opened Hutto Animal Hospital in the early 1960's and worked straight up until 10 days before he passed at the age of 87, in May of 2018.
Dr. Hutto was a much-loved and compassionate veterinarian who gave all he had to his patients, his clients, his family and his community.
After his passing, there was still a need for veterinary medicine in the area.
Dr. Chavis opened the Hutto Veterinary Clinic in 2019 and has built on the foundation of what Dr. Hutto started - both literally and figuratively.

William
Report
William has been with our clients and with Dr. Hutto before Dr. Chavis, bringing his time working at this clinic to over 30 years.
He doesn't have one role but many within the clinic and there is no way we could be where we are today without him!
His favorite part is working with dogs (yes, even the grumpy ones) and the atmosphere at Hutto Veterinary Clinic.
William is well-known in the community and we are fortunate to have him as part of our amazing team.
He always has a smile and is ready and willing to jump into any project with all he's got.
