Biography

Dr. Herbert A. Hulls earned his veterinary degree in 1990 from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where he also attended undergraduate school. Although born in Montana, Dr. Hulls considers himself a native Buckeye, having grown up in Ohio, where his sister and parents still reside. Childhood was full of country living and lots of animals. Interaction with cattle, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, raccoons, orphan fawns, and much more was the norm. An innate interest in science, medicine, and animals all drew him into the veterinarian profession. Upon graduation from vet school, he worked in rural western Ohio, making lots of farm calls along with treating companion animals in the clinic where he worked.

Practicing veterinary medicine at Pet Care felt natural and energizing. The attitude of providing high-quality medical and surgical care to patients with sincere compassion is at the heart of our hospital’s motives. The medicine and surgery of “exotics,” which are more popular than ever, have been at the forefront during the past 10 years of Dr. Hull’s practice. These formerly unconventional pets, which include birds, ferrets, rabbits, reptiles, and amphibians, are a large source of special interest to him. A wide variety of orthopedic repairs and soft tissue surgeries have long provided him with many rewards. However, special interests in exotics and surgery only help round out the basic joys of treating the conventional canine and feline patients from puppy and kittenhood through to their senior years.

Dr. Jared M. Piper, Associate Veterinarian

What Am I Passionate About?

I am a firm believer in the idea that the mouth is the gateway to the body and that good oral hygiene is integral to overall health. Veterinary dentistry is my passion, and my goal is for your pet to live a healthy/pain-free life with all of their teeth. A wise dentist once said, “You don’t have to brush your teeth…just the ones you want to keep.”

Five Things Dr. Piper Would Like You To Know About Him:

1. My family is the most important part of my life, I center myself around them and enjoy every minute we get to spend together.
2. I love veterinary dentistry and am hoping to pursue a specialty in the future.
3. If I’m not in the clinic, I can often be found rock climbing in a local gym, with the hopes of one day climbing El Capitan in Yosemite.
4. Who doesn’t love running 10+ miles in the mud, crawling over/under obstacles, and then getting a beer when you are finished….I try to do as many Tough Mudders and Spartan races as my schedule allows. I am always looking for partners, so let me know!
5. Did you know I have my own brewing company (in name only)? While it’s been a while since I have made any beer, I do enjoy making and drinking it.
