A Gentle Vet

Welcome to A Gentle Vet!

We are committed to providing the highest level of professional veterinary care, client education and support available. Focusing on continuous improvement and ongoing quality control, our staff is committed to provide outstanding customer service and GentleCare®, encouraging individual team development and maintaining an upbeat clinic environment where both clients and staff find a reason to smile. We are also committed to providing personal and professional satisfaction for our staff and pet parents.​

GentleCare® involves the best quality of safety, health care and a respect for life.With Pets, the need for restraint arises when it is least wanted and most needed. Proper Gentle restraint requires time, training, and expertise to minimize stress & trauma to patients, clients and staff.

GentleCare® will not be sacrificed
in the name of cheap results.

Best quality health care needs a Sherlock Holmes mentality. Our staff is always involved in continuing education to ensure proper diagnoses and treatments based on the latest diagnostic tools and treatment methods.

Life is to be cherished. It is a journey where happy times are to be extended and maximized, and sad times are to be shortened and minimized. The only guarantees in life are birth and death. Birth is celebrated, and the end of life is reserved for advanced age and diminished quality of life.

Our hope is to provide the best quality GentleCare® possible.



A Gentle Vet has been serving the Greater Salt Lake Area since 1965 when it was called, Granger Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Brent Hagloch assumed leadership of the company in 1991 and developed the concept of GentleCare®. We are a full service veterinary clinic with emphasis in providing our signature 16-point comprehensive GentleCare® exam to our patients. Included in our exams is a report card of our findings along with a diagnosis and medical plan. We use in-house diagnostics to complement our investigation into your pet’s problems. We are especially skilled at ear problems, skin diseases, and our surgeon uses plastic surgery techniques to minimize post-operative scarring. We also provide health plans, weight, nutritional and behavioral counseling, and affordable payment plans.
