We are excited to announce that Dr. Bristow will be joining the Dove Mountain Veterinary team! His first day with us will be Monday, July 27th, and we are thrilled to welcome him to our hospital.

As we continue to grow, adding another veterinarian allows us to better serve our clients by increasing appointment availability and continuing to provide the compassionate, high-quality care you have come to expect.

Meet Dr. Bristow:

Dr. Bristow was born and raised in Tucson. Prior to vet school he worked as a technician and attended the University of Arizona to earn a B.S. in veterinary science. He earned his DVM degree from Colorado State University in 2026 and has recently moved back to Tucson to start his career. He has special interests in preventative care, nutrition, surgery, and shelter medicine. Dr Bristow loves to spend time outdoors and traveling to new places. During his days off he likes to hang out with family and friends and spend time with his bunny and dogs.

We know you'll enjoy getting to know Dr. Bristow, and we are confident he will provide exceptional care for you and your pets. If you're scheduling an upcoming appointment, we hope you'll consider booking with him!

Please join us in giving Dr. Bristow a warm Dove Mountain Veterinary welcome. We look forward to introducing him to you and your furry family members soon.

Well… today was definitely a reminder that rattlesnake season is here 🐍

Not only did we treat TWO rattlesnake bites today, but we also had a rattlesnake greet us right at our back bench area 😳

Please be extra mindful when out walking with your pets, hiking, or even just stepping outside at home. Watch where you and your pets are walking, especially around bushes, rocks, shaded areas, and patios.

To help keep your pups safe, we offer rattlesnake avoidance training the last Sunday of every month! It’s a great way to help teach dogs to recognize and avoid rattlesnakes before a dangerous encounter happens. Call the clinic at 520-448-9690 to schedule today!
