Alexandre Contreras, a native resident of Miami, Florida, possesses an unwavering passion for animals that ignited at a tender age. Driven by a profound dedication to ensuring exceptional healthcare for every creature, Alex embarked on a path towards animal welfare, acquiring a coveted 'Veterinary Technician' degree from Penn Foster in 2009.

Fueling his ambition further, Alex delved deeper into his career, achieving the prestigious title of a 'Certified Canine Massage Therapist' through Equissage International, renowned for its unrivaled equine and canine massage therapy training and certification programs. Following this accomplishment, Alex established 'DogApy,®' a canine massage therapy service.

Armed with a thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to offer comprehensive care to animals, Alex undertook extensive education, training, and hands-on experience, thereby cultivating a holistic approach to pet well-being and health.

During countless nail trims, Alex unfortunately encountered the distressing situation of inadvertently clipping a nail too short. Recognizing the pressing need for a safer, more hygienic, and convenient method of applying styptic powder to injured nails, Alex envisioned the creation of the KlipTrio®. With the addition of a nail file to the design, the KlipTrio® would not only become the world's first 3-in-1 pet nail clipper but also incorporate a groundbreaking 'Disposable Styptic Powder Cartridge™.' The inclusion of an integrated stainless steel nail file finalized the ingenious KlipTrio® design.

In addition to his remarkable accomplishments, becoming DVM 360® 2022 Veterinary Heroes ™ Paraprofessional Of The Year, and The BridgeClub ™ 2022 Bright Mind Out Of The Box Thinker, Chewy Health and DVM 360® Innovator Of the Month October 2024. Alexandre Contreras has extended his impact beyond his personal pursuits. Recognizing the importance of giving back to the community and advocating for animal welfare, Alex founded the PetTrio Charity™ Inc. This nonprofit organization aims to support underprivileged pet owners by providing access to essential veterinary care, promoting responsible pet ownership, and fostering a compassionate environment for animals in need.

Furthermore, Alex actively engages with the youth, sharing his experiences and expertise in the field of veterinary medicine. He passionately speaks about the myriad opportunities available in the veterinary field, inspiring young minds to pursue careers in VetMed and become champions for animal health. By fostering a generation of compassionate and knowledgeable individuals, Alex strives to create a brighter future for both animals and humans alike.
