Cullman Veterinary Hospital, P.C.

Cullman Veterinary Hospital, P.C. We are a veterinary practice that specializes in small animal care located in Cullman, Alabama. A little bit of our history-
Steven T.

Murphree, D.V.M., purchased Cullman Veterinary Hospital in January 1985 from Dr. David Simpson. In the 1950s, Cullman Veterinary Hospital was both a large and small animal facility. In 1989, the decision was made to sell the large animal portion of the practice to an associate veterinarian. At that time, Cullman Veterinary Hospital became a 100% small animal treatment facility. In 1990, Dr. Dana Kessler joined the practice as an associate veterinarian. Her expertise and knowledge has proven to be a valuable asset to the practice. The hospital soon needed room for expansion and Cullman Veterinary Hospital moved into its new facility in August 2001. The new facility contains 2 surgery suites complete with video imaging, laser surgery and endoscopy. Four exam rooms, a conference room, an expanded laboratory, and added kennel space for housing cats and dogs compliment the new hospital. Dr. Tara Bonds became an associate in 2011. Her knowledge and caring attitude compliments our team in practicing high quality veterinary medicine.

Easiest way to prevent hairballs is simply to brush your cat regularly, especially for long-haired breeds. When you brush out the loose fur, you remove the stuff they’d otherwise swallow during grooming. Less fur ingested = fewer hairballs = a happier cat! Long-haired cats may need daily brushing while short-haired kitties benefit from a few times a week. Want expert tips? Contact us today at (256) 734-2181

Does your dog shower you with endless licks? Doggy kisses are your dog’s way of showing affection, asking for attention, or even saying “I missed you.” In some cases, it’s a learned behavior because if you smile or pet them when they lick, they know it gets your attention. Excessive licking can also be a sign of anxiety, discomfort, or underlying health issues. If your dog licks nonstop, let’s talk! Call us at (256) 734-2181.

Did you know that our feline friends are true vocal artists? Cats can express themselves with up to 100 different sounds, showcasing their unique personalities and emotions. In comparison, dogs have a much simpler vocal range with about 10 distinct sounds. This incredible variety allows cats to communicate in ways that often leave us fascinated and amused. From soft purrs to demanding meows, each sound tells a story.
