Our Story

Zutilla Pet Clinic began with a bold vision and a lot of heart. Starting a business is never easy — but doing it as a single mom, without outside financial support, was a true test of determination. Dr. Gregory‘s commitment to honest, judgment-free care and the Golden Rule became the guiding force behind every decision.

Since day one, Zutilla has focused on building a trusted brand rooted in professional expertise and genuine relationships. We’ve grown into a community where pets — and their people — feel supported, understood, and empowered to make the best choices for lifelong health.


Our Vision

We envision a future where Zutilla Pet Clinic is known as the region’s leader in integrative veterinary preventive care. From conventional treatments to natural therapies like acupuncture, food therapy, and herbal remedies, we aim to offer innovative solutions that support the whole pet — mind, body, and spirit.


What Makes Us Different

  • Preventive-Focused: We’re the only clinic in the area dedicated entirely to wellness and prevention.
  • Minority Female-Owned: Zutilla is proudly independent and founded by a Black female veterinarian.
  • No Corporate Influence: Our decisions are made for your pet’s health — not a boardroom.
  • Stress-Free Visits: We stagger appointments to avoid crowded lobbies and reduce anxiety.
  • Cat-Friendly Care: We offer a dedicated feline exam room with soothing pheromones and cozy warm towels.
  • Real Human Connection: No phone trees here. When you call during business hours, a real person answers.
