ABOUT US
Well Pet Animal Hospital was established in 2013 by Dr. David Wellington and Martha Baquero; both animal lovers since childhood and professional animal caregivers for over 15 years. Both have dedicated most of their life to provide exceptional care to animals and have taken an active role in educating pet owners on the care of their pets.

We first met Patricia in 2014 when she and her mom brought their new puppy Bella to us. At that time Patricia was 12 years old and already knew she wanted to be a Veterinarian. In 2021, during her winter break from college, she started shadowing Dr. Wellington and staff. Since then she comes back to Well Pet every time she gets a break from school.

Patricia is currently working on getting her Bachelor of Science at the University of Connecticut  and will apply to Veterinary school after that.
