Ainhoa Albizu, veterinary nurse (VN) at Zaunka

Ainhoa Albizu

Veterinary nurse

After studying several different subjects, Ainhoa decided that her true motivation was to dedicate her life to helping animals, so she trained as a veterinary nurse and, on finishing her studies, began working with us.
She has learned from the best, Arantza, and has also become indispensable.

Amaia Mendizabal

Veterinary nurse

In love with animals, Amaia is our most recent veterinary nurse. The clinic has been growing and so has the work of the nurses. Thanks to her presence with us, we now have a trio of aces that works to perfection.
Although she finished her veterinary nursing studies recently, her youth and passion are directly proportional to her thirst to learn and work.
We are very lucky to have our wonderful veterinary nurses; without their contribution it would be impossible to work.

Our daily practice is defined by excellence and continuous training. We have a highly qualified team covering a wide variety of veterinary specialities, always working in a coordinated, multidisciplinary way. From internal medicine and preventive care to the most complex diagnoses, we apply the latest scientific advances with precision to guarantee the comprehensive health of every patient.

Beyond science, our true driving force is our responsibility towards every family in Gipuzkoa that comes through our doors. We work tirelessly to create a safe, honest and transparent environment in every consultation. At Zaunka, your companions in life are in the best hands: expert, decisive hands and, above all, deeply committed to their wellbeing and quality of life.
