Veterinaria 24/7 is the largest small animal hospital in Puerto Rico. We run 24 hours, seven days a week, specializing on emergencies. This is a nine doctor practice, including a veterinary oncologist. We see everything, from wellness and preventative care visits, to emergency surgery and procedures.  

At Bark and Bliss, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional veterinary care and fostering a supportive learning environment for aspiring veterinarians. Our clinic is led by Dr. Meghann Kruck, a highly experienced veterinarian, who is licensed in Minnesota and Turks and Caicos,  with over 50,000 surgeries to her credit. She has also owned and managed multiple clinics in the United States, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our practice.

We believe that the opportunity for your students to join us for their placements will greatly benefit their education and professional growth. Our dedicated team, who possess extensive experience in the field, would provide invaluable mentorship and guidance to the students. They would have the chance to expand their hands-on skills, gain confidence in a real-world veterinary medicine setting, and learn from accomplished professionals in the field.

Furthermore, the Turks and Caicos Islands offer a unique and captivating environment, known for their stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and diverse wildlife. By joining us for their placements, students would not only enhance their clinical skills but also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and natural beauty of this tropical paradise.

In addition to the unique clinical experience and breathtaking surroundings, a placement at our clinic in the Turks and Caicos Islands offers an excellent opportunity for students to gain valuable knowledge and skills in dealing with infectious diseases endemic to the local canine population. As a tropical region, the islands are home to various infectious diseases that pose specific challenges to veterinary medicine. By working with our experienced team, students will have the chance to observe and participate in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases, expanding their understanding of their epidemiology and management. This hands-on experience will undoubtedly enhance their abilities to tackle similar challenges in their future careers, making them well-rounded and resilient veterinarians.
