When we opened Auravet in March, we knew there was a need in our community for veterinary care that was more accessible and centered around meeting animals and their families where they are. What we couldn’t have imagined was just how quickly our communities would welcome us and how much we would grow in only a few short months. Last month, we officially surpassed 500 visits, a milestone that means so much to our little team of three.
With that level of growth, we knew it was time to grow our team too, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Mackenzie to Auravet! We’ve all had the privilege of working with Mackenzie before, so we already know the level of care, dedication, and compassion she brings to both clients and their animals. She shares the values Auravet was built on and truly understands how important it is for people to feel heard, supported, and cared for when it comes to their animals.
We are incredibly grateful for every family who has trusted us and every community that has welcomed Auravet since we opened our doors. Adding Mackenzie to our team means we can continue growing while staying true to the values that got us here. We can’t wait to see what the four of us can accomplish together.
Meet Mackenzie, Client Care Coordinator:
Mackenzie is a veterinary professional with over a decade of experience in the animal industry. From a young age, she knew she had a passion for animals and a particular soft spot for the “less-loved.” Spiders, snakes, rats, and other misunderstood creatures have always held a special place in her heart.
Mackenzie began her career at her local Humane Society, where she cared for dogs and large animals and eventually worked her way up to Lead Kennel Attendant. Through both the good days and the hard ones, she learned the importance of showing up for animals who couldn’t advocate for themselves—and became passionate about being their voice.
From there, Mackenzie began her journey into veterinary medicine, spending four years as a veterinary assistant. During that time, she gained hands-on experience caring for patients and developed a strong passion for making veterinary visits as comfortable and positive as possible. As a Fear Free Certified professional, she believes that veterinary care should prioritize not only an animal’s physical health, but also their emotional well-being. She is especially passionate about low-stress handling, recognizing individual patient needs, and helping animals feel safe and understood in an environment that can otherwise be overwhelming.
Mackenzie then transitioned into a role that allowed her to work more “behind the scenes,” helping bridge the gap between the veterinary team and their clients. She finds great fulfillment in making sure clients feel heard, understood, and supported. To Mackenzie, successful veterinary care starts with honest, compassionate communication.
When she isn’t working, Mackenzie loves staying creative through her many hobbies, traveling, playing video games, and spending time with her own animal family: Jasper, her dog; Butters, Tink, and Juniper, her cats; and Squidward, her leopard gecko.
