My name is Heather Bunting. I am the founder and veterinarian of Kindred Animal Hospital. I have dreamed of being a veterinarian since the age of five. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish — pretty much any pet my parents would allow! I began working in the veterinary field at the age of 16 as a kennel technician in high school, graduated from Texas A&M University with a BS in Animal Science, and then graduated with my doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences. I went on to complete a small animal rotating internship in medicine and surgery in Los Angeles and then practiced in the Redondo Beach area. My Texas roots, however, could not be denied, so I moved back to the lone star state. After practicing at Bulverde Animal Hospital for five years I decided to pursue my ultimate dream and start my own practice.
My practice philosophy is to incorporate each individual pet’s and family’s needs while providing the highest quality medicine available. I strive to strengthen the human-animal bond by keeping your pet happy and healthy throughout every life stage. I strongly believe in decreasing my patients’ stress while in the hospital and want them to feel at home when they visit us. One of the best parts of being a veterinarian is you can love on your patients!
In my free time, I enjoy hiking and spending time on the river. I also tinker with carpentry; a trait passed down from my grandfather. I am an avid Texans and Aggie fan. My fur baby family includes Linus and Lynx, two orange fluff balls and Tillie, a bluetick coonhound, who you will probably hear before you see.
I am excited about the opportunity to care for your four-legged family!
