The Animalife Veterinary centers are a three hospital group in Naples Florida started by Dr. Randy Eisel in 1996 and this year acquired by NVA as majority owner. The practices are all small animal, primarily dogs and cats with some exotic animal medicine including small mammals, reptiles and birds. Dr. Eisel is the consulting veterinarian for a large reptile breeding facility in Naples and for a wolf rescue facility that also houses coyotes, big cats, raccoons and foxes along with a very large number of rescued wolves and wolf hybrids. Along with our regular caseload of dogs and cats the extern will have the opportunity to visit multiple facilities and learn handling, behavior and treatment of numerous species of exotic animals. However, the majority of the externs experience will be in the care and treatment of dogs and cats in our three hospitals. The extern will have the opportunity to work with our staff of doctors learning surgical techniques, internal medicine, dental procedures, labwork interpretation, physical examination skills, client communication, inpatient and outpatient hospital care. The elective experience will focus on traditional mentorship with hands on instruction in all aspects of veterinary care under the direct supervision of highly qualified and experienced veterinary practitioners.
