Hi, my name is Daniela I am highly experienced Veterinary Nurse with 24 years of dedication to animal care. With a passion for consultations and creating exceptional client experiences, I am skilled at offering compassionate support and expert advice to pet owners. I ensures that clients feel informed and confident in their pets/ care, helping them make the best decisions for their furry family members. I has a strong background in patient care, preventative health, and providing guidance on nutrition and wellness. I pride myself on building strong, supportive relationships with both animals and their owners, always striving to make every visit a positive experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding with a good book or spending quality time with my almost adult children and my laid-back bulldog, Millie. Together, we often embark on relaxing day trips along the bayside, cruising on the boat where I love capturing special moments with my camera.
