Our Team

Dr. Gretchen Hutt DVM

Chief Veterinary Officer

Originally from Louisville, Ky. Dr. Gretchen graduated from University of Kentucky with an undergraduate degree and then Auburn University with a DVM in 1984. She owned a practice in Durham for 28 years and then thought she was going to retire in Wilmington. She met Phil and Amanda at Pawville and before she knew it she became the Chief Veterinary Officer at Pawville Veterinary Clinics. She doesnt really know how that happened but she is so glad that it did. Dr. Gretchen and her husband have been section hiking on the Appalachian Trail for about 8 years and have completed almost 700 miles on it. When she's not caring for animals or hiking, she also has a love for playing Pickleball and just walking their dogs, Cooper, an 8 year old Chihuahua mix adopted from the Durham Co Animal Shelter and Nacho, a Labradoodle that was supposed to be a mini but he weighs 50lbs. Dr. Gretchen is Level 3 Fear Free certified and is totally committed to making every pet’s visit to the clinic as fear free as possible.

Dr. Allison Hanson

Veterinarian

With more than 23 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Dr. Hanson has cared for pets through every stage of life. Her areas of expertise include preventive care, internal medicine, dermatology, surgery, dentistry, hospice care, and client education—but above all, her passion lies in building lasting relationships with pets and the families who love them.


Dr. Hanson earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine and went on to become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist through the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. By blending the best of Western medicine with Eastern healing techniques, she is able to provide thoughtful, well-rounded care that helps pets feel their very best.


Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Hanson brings a creative spirit to her practice. With a background in fine arts and hospitality, she loves finding new ways to connect with clients and to approach medical challenges with compassion and creativity. She feels truly inspired every day by the courage of her patients and the families she serves.
