Melody Benavides, Registered Veterinary Technician
As a registered veterinary technician, Melody plays a vital role in the clinic, assisting with animal care, performing clinical procedures, and supporting the veterinarians in diagnosing and treating patients. She especially enjoys the hands-on aspects of her job—whether it’s collecting and analyzing blood, urine, or tissue samples, she loves the science behind keeping pets healthy.
​
Melody’s passion for animals started early, growing up surrounded by both domestic and farm animals. Watching her father care for their animals left a lasting impression, inspiring her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
​
At home, Melody shares her life with Quiara, a sweet and playful 12-year-old Pekingese mix. Despite her age, Quiara still has a mischievous streak—especially when it comes to stealing socks and zooming around the house with them!
When she’s not at the clinic, Melody enjoys staying active at the gym, where she finds a great balance between work and wellness. She also loves spending quality time with her family and friends, making the most of every moment.
