Many of you have probably come to know Dr. Ryan Lunt at our 1st Pet Veterinary Hospitals over the past 6 years. Born in Ft. Collins, Colorado, Dr. Lunt is married with 3 children (2 boys ages 9 & 7 yrs, 1 girl, age 5).
They also have 3 dogs, a cat, 10 horses, 6 chickens, and a hermit crab to round out their family. One of his dogs came to him after being abandoned behind a dumpster, nursed back to health by a Technician from 1stPet, and subsequently adopted by Dr. Lunt and his family.
The pup was the only one of his litter to survive and is now a very important part of Dr. Lunt’s family. Dr. Lunt feels this is a cool example of how our pets find us and enrich our lives. Dr. Lunt has seen many owners who bring in pets having similar stories and loves how pets affect all of our lives.
Dr. Lunt wanted to be a veterinarian since he was a little boy. He grew up working with his dad who was a large animal vet, working mostly on dairy cattle, and decided to follow in his father’s footsteps. He has worked in a variety of fields including holding a job as a Veterinary Assistant prior to attending Veterinary school. After graduation he spent one year in small animal general practice prior to joining our team here at 1st Pet! Dr. Lunt particularly enjoys soft tissue surgery and helping people keep their pets healthy.
When not working, Dr. Lunt loves spending time with his family- spending as much time outdoors together as they can. An eye injury as a teenager, leaving him with use of only one eye, has not slowed him down in the slightest. In addition to achieving becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, he also regularly participates in activities such as snowboarding and anything else he can do (like speaking Spanish)! We are so happy to have Dr. Lunt serve as our Hospital Director at 1st Pet Veterinary Centers- North Valley!
