The Akins pet clinic welcomes all people around the community to care for all kinds of pets.

The clinic offers many service to their customers to choose from to make sure that their pets are in the best shape, including bathing, ear cleaning, nail clipping and grooming.

“There are times that we get 20 or 10 pets to handle, and it’s a little tedious at first but we help each other out to make the process go faster and smoother,” senior Jordan Marrero said.

All of the animals have different personalities and energy levels, making the job challenging senior Klaudia Villarreal said.

“The hyperactive ones are the hardest, but I think my experience I like working with them more cause I think they’re a lot of fun,” Villarreal said. Beyond the fun of working with animals, the vet tech students are learning valuable career skills they can use when they graduate and start looking for a job.
