I've dealt with a number of vets in Hilo and Puna (though not all of them!) over the years for a variety of amimals. The ones I like the most were Aloha Vet (Drs Rodriguez and Lei), Kilauea Veterinary Services (Dr Seeske Versluys) in Keaau and Big Island Pet Care center (Dr Sterrett Grune) in HPP. All are very caring towards the animals and pleasant to their owners. I think Aloha Vet is probably a bit better equipped but often time is of the essence or travel is stressful, so I think if you are a Puna resident it is worth building a relationship with the Puna vets like Drs Versluys and Grune.
