Dr. Duane Hunt grew up on a small dairy farm in Northeast Arizona, where he learned to care for and love animals at a young age. He received his Bachelor's degree from Arizona State University and then went on to Colorado State University, where he received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1999. After graduation, Dr. Hunt worked as an associate for a very busy and very successful small-animal practice in Scottsdale, AZ, for six years until he opened Homestead Animal Clinic.
