Carrie Fontnow

Carrie has been working as a manager at DRVC for the past eight years. She has a heart for our unsurpassed cliental and has developed meaningful friendships with many of our long standing clients through the years.

Although she now works in veterinary medicine, Carrie began her work with animals at the age of 16 as a kennel worker. After working for several clinics in the area, she decided to pursue her passion for rescue animals with the Humane Society of Southeast Texas where she had the pleasure of serving for ten years.

Outside of DRVC, Carrie and her husband of 20 years share their home with four rescue dogs. In her free time, she enjoys working closely with local rescue groups and continuing her passion for helping animals in need. She has passed on her love for animals to her daughter that works as a Veterinary Technician at Dowlen Road Vet. 

Dr. McMillan

Dr. Tayler McMillan grew up in Southeast Texas and has been passionate about veterinary medicine from an early age. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University before graduating from Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2025.

Her journey with Dowlen Road Veterinary Center began at just 12 years old when she volunteered walking dogs in the boarding facility. At age 16, she joined the team as a technician, working during school breaks throughout high school and college.

Dr. McMillan has a special interest in dermatology and internal medicine and is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to her patients. She shares her home with two rescue dogs—an American Staffordshire Terrier and a Dogo Argentino. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, cooking, and watching Formula One racing.

About Us

Established in 1996, Dowlen Road Veterinary Center has been a long standing clinic in the Golden Triangle animal care community. Dr. Hurych bought the clinic in December of 2020, after working as an Associate Veterinarian there for the last 7 years. Our remarkable team of professionals strives to provide each client with the highest-quality pet care while working with each individual’s budget.

When you first walk into DRVC, you will always be greeted by one of our friendly receptionists. Our veterinary receptionists work hard to ensure all of our clients are well taken care of by answering telephone calls, collecting payments, accepting mail, scheduling appointments, and selling items that may be available behind the counter.
DRVC has an extremely knowledgeable and experienced technical staff who provide unparalleled compassion to each of our patients. In addition, we have an in-house lab and pharmacy to ensure the highest quality of care. Our technicians work hand in hand with our doctors to provide patient care. This includes making sure pets feel as comfortable as possible while undergoing treatment or surgery, and that owners feel the same way. Our techs also love to cultivate client relationships and provide education to our clients whenever they can.
We may be biased, but we have the best “Kennel Crew” who are devoted to ensuring that each patient receives the love and attention they deserve. This often includes giving baths, brushing, walking, and play time. Our crew prides itself in creating personal relationships with each pet, which allows them to notice even the slightest change in their mood or behavior.
The whole team at Dowlen Road Veterinary Center loves what they do and all of the clients we provide care to each and every day!
