I'm Lauri! I'm a New York City native relocated to Plant City, FL. In 2014, I started my animal career as a veterinary receptionist. From there, climbed the professional ladder & went onto become an exotics specialty veterinary assistant, companion animal veterinary assistant, companion animal veterinary technician, and finally Animal Control & Welfare Officer. My background of veterinary medicine and animal welfare have helped me mold Professional Pets to reflect the core values that I believe every animal should be treated with: safety, dedication, patience, and compassion. At Professional Pets, we specialize in anxious, special needs, medically needy, and senior pets; but open our arms to all friends whether furry, feathered, scaly, or slimy! We have an American Bully named Zoey as well as an American Staffordshire Terrier named Luna Tuna in addition to two Boxers, Rico & Lilo.
