Alexandre Contreras, founder and president of PetTrio Charity®, recently spoke to students in Homestead Senior High School's newly launched Veterinary Assistant Program. With 20+ years of experience, multiple awards, and a commitment to animal welfare, Alexandre shared his inspiring journey, from creating the innovative Kliptrio® tool and the roadmap to starting PetTrio Charity®
During the talk, Alexandre emphasized the vital role Veterinary Assistants play in animal care and encouraged students to embrace the field with passion and perseverance. “Programs like this give young minds the tools to make a real difference, and I wish I had this program when I was attending here” he said.
At PetTrio Charity®, we hope to spotlight the importance of Veterinary Assistants and advocate for more Vet Assistant programs in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Together, we can empower the next generation and strengthen animal care in our community. "And this is only the beginning for us"
