Brian C. Hurley, DVM
When Dr. Brian C. Hurley was five years old, his dog, Shelley, was seriously injured. They rushed her to the veterinarian, but her injuries were too extensive to save, and they had to say good-bye. That was the day he decided to become a veterinarian. Dr. Hurley felt that he would do everything in his power to never let another treasured family member leave their family again. He was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, but moved frequently beginning at the age of nine. He was fortunate to live in numerous states: Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, Indiana, Florida, and Massachusetts. He is a true ‘southern boy’ at heart. Dr. Hurley did his undergraduate work at the University of Massachusetts. He graduated from the University of Florida’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. GO GATORS!!! He worked at the Gardner Animal Care Center until retiring from clinical practice in August 2020. He has worked with AmeriVet since August 2017 and became their National Medical Director in 2018. In February 2010, Dr. Hurley became the first veterinarian certified by the American Society of Veterinary Journalists (ASVJ). He married Dawn in 1994 and they were blessed with a daughter in 1997. Their house is protected by their chocolate lab, Rocky. He was born with a cleft palate that was repaired by Dr. Kudej at Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hurley’s hobbies include reading, riding the peloton, and spending time with family.
