The Teamat Park City Animal Clinic

Dr. Carl Prior

DVM

Growing up in a rural farming community, Carl Burton Prior fell in love with animals and feels a strong connection to each creature. After completing his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University, he earned his DVM at Colorado State University’s renowned veterinary teaching hospital.

Moving to Park City in 2003, Dr. Prior’s practice is based on three principles: a proactive approach to wellness care; stellar diagnostic and surgical services; and compassion. Sometimes, his loyal staff struggles to keep up with his high energy. However, inspired by his quick wit, willingness to teach, and vision, they do.

At the Park City Animal Clinic, clients are welcomed into a homey environment by his handpicked staff of doctors and technicians. Dr. Prior’s patients are his priority, but he makes sure his human clients are comfortable, too; he actually gives his private cell phone number to clients. Dr. Prior makes house calls; responds to calls in the middle of the night; and even takes animals home with him to recover.

His big heart supports local rescues. From Edwardo, the one-eyed tripod cat to Princess, the Bernese Mountain Dog with a tumor the size of a grapefruit, Dr. Prior saves those that do not have a voice and those that are discarded by others.

Being part of the Park City community and always looking out for the underdog, Dr. Prior’s clients appreciate his expertise, tenderness, and commitment.
