Meet Our Founder

Dr. Petya Trifonova, DVM

Owner & Lead Emergency Veterinarian

Dr. Trifonova

Dr. Trifonova has been a veterinarian for over a decade, spending much of her career in emergency medicine. She values the fast pace, sense of urgency, and investigative challenge that come with managing complex cases.

She believes that even in stressful moments, pets and their families deserve a humane, grounded experience. This philosophy drives her commitment to continual learning and advanced training.

Her focus is always on bringing clarity, calm, and high-quality care to every urgent situation. Outside of the clinic, she shares her life with three cats—Elvis, Piper, and Pippo—and her dog, Nessi, who serve as a daily reminder of the bond between pets and the people who love them.
