Ken Hughs, D.V.M.

Dr. Hughs graduated from Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1992. After several years working with both dogs and cats, he opened Cats Exclusive Medical Center in 1998, one of the first Gold Certified Cat-Friendly Practices. He loves working with cats and has devoted his recent career to feline medicine.

After joining Dogwood in 2016, he is rediscovering his love of working with dogs, too, although his heart is with your cats. He is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Dr. Hughs treats your pets as if they were his own. He understands that pets are part of your family and an important part of your life!
