Raul is originally from Maracaibo, Venezuela 🇻🇪 He graduated in December 2019 at Universidad del Zulia as a Veterinarian. Raul has wanted to be in the veterinary field since he was young. His family had an animal farm with broiler chickens, 🐓, laying hens 🐔 and at some point also had sheep 🐑, cows 🐮, and goats 🐐 Raul had an interest in wanting to improve his animal husbandry skills, and his dream was to one day be in charge of his family’s farm. 👨‍🌾

He worked at 2 small animal clinics in Venezuela, and was assisting doctors during exams and surgeries.

Raul is always assisting our technicians and doctors when they need a hand. He has a positive attitude, and is always asking how he can help.❣️🐾 he is a team player, and is always willing to grow and learn new techniques and ways to help our pets. He loves to help educate owners on ways to improve their pet’s lives. 🧡

Raul’s ultimate goal is to work towards his veterinary license here in the United States 🥼👨‍⚕️

When Raul isn’t working, he likes to spend time with family, go to the gym, read a book, read vet articles, and watch TV and movies 🎥

Happy Vet Tech Week! 🐾🩺🐱🐶⭐️

This week we celebrate our vet techs and assistants and all they do for our clients and patients.

They’re acrobats: They will contort into any position required to get the blood draw done.

They’re unmoved by questionable scents: The smelliest of smells cannot deter them from their lunch

They’re masters of comfort: They are professionals when It comes to making sure their patients are at ease, whether it’s providing a good snuggle or reaching baby voice octaves you thought were impossible 🥰

They’re multitasking ninjas 🥷: They are holding a patient for their exam, while listening to the doctor’s findings and already making a list of medications to dispense, while constantly reading their patient’s body language to assess their comfort level. Oh while also keeping an eye on their watch to make sure the team stays on schedule so everyone can be seen and taken care of in a timely manner.

They do all of this, and so much more to ensure our patients and clients have the best experience possible.

They are the heartbeat of our team. May they all see their reflection, and see an entire community of supporters standing along side of them.

They’re SUPERHEROES! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Join us in thanking our techs and assistants this week for all they do, because we truly couldn’t do It without them! 🧡🧡

Stay tuned this week for highlights of our technicians and their stories⭐️
