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.

Dr. Grune has been VERY helpful with my fearful and anxious Malinois with IBD, allergies & behavioral issues. The most comforting thing was seeing how much my dog likes him. She's not good with most people but she went up to him like he was her long lost friend! Wow! Additionally, I find the staff to be exceptionally friendly, diligent, highly communicative and always showing concern. I live in Ocean View and have delt with practically every vet in Kona and they're all terrible with receptionists that are snarky, clueless and impatient. It's WELL WORTH the extra driving time to Keeau to receive such excellent personalized care. Their resonable pricing helps a lot too. Keep up the good work BIPCC and I'll keep driving! šŸ™‚

Most caring, sweet Vet you can have. He treats my kids exactly the way I do and I love that. My cat was having a rash under his coat. His diagnosis was 100% on point. Cat healed 7 days later with what he prescribed. The office is a very calm clean place. Staff is caring and loving toward the animals.šŸ¤™šŸŒŗā¤

Wonderful clinic, very kind and friendly staff. My ol lady got a brand new baby puppy, I’m on the mainland and she lives in Volcano, right on the line of Pahoa. The house backs up to miles of deep jungle with lava tubes and mongoose and lord knows what other harmful things to a human. let alone a baby angel puppy. Mochi, baby puppy angel, arrived without shots and vulnerable so my miss was carying him everywhere. We called Pahoa animal clinic but they had a waiting list and it was over a month at earliest but not probable. Next closest clinic was Big island Pet Care Center of Keaau. They said we needed to go to their site and explained how exactly to fill out a form that once received they would call her back. I was worried about time and wouldn’t you know it they called and said they could see Mr. Mochichi by Monday, which was one or two business days from when I called! I was advised by my little Ms that they were very thorough and efficient. Truly kind loving people. The reason for four stars is they may offer a series of helpful preventative treatments ect that you could get to help your puppy or pet. They charge for everything which is completely understandable, just make sure you go in knowing what your needs are for your pet as she left with a much heftier bill than was actually needed or expected for simple run of the mill shots to help Mochichi grow up healthy in such a unique environment. Very good place nonetheless and we appreciate the timely manner in which her pup was seen. They saved the day and put the worrying to an end. It’s like 15 min further too. Not bad at all šŸ‘. Thank you guys!

Regular diagnostics can reveal a lot about a pet’s health over time. At Big Island Pet Care Center, we offer four wellness diagnostic packages to detect potential health issues.

These diagnostic packages have been created to cover routine screenings so that your pet receives the necessary diagnostics most cats and dogs need, like bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing.

Investing in a pet diagnostics package saves you time and money. Our vets use these diagnostic metrics to closely monitor your pet’s health and detect potential issues early on.
