About Us

Taino Veterinary Clinic was born from a dream that spans approximately 40 years. Since the age of 6, Melanie aspired to become a veterinarian and have her own office. After 18 years of working as a veterinary doctor, including 4 years in North Carolina and the remaining 14 here in Puerto Rico's West Area, the time has finally come to fulfill her professional dream. She aim to utilize all the knowledge acquired over the years to provide a unique service in the West Area of Puerto Rico.

The clinic's name is inspired by her first adult dog, a Golden Retriever named Taíno. He came into Melanie's life as part of a recovery and therapy process after a traffic accident. Taíno became her faithful companion for 15 years, experiencing veterinary school with her, her wedding, the birth of her daughters, her return to Puerto Rico – a constant amidst 15 years of significant changes. He was her loyal friend, and in his honor, the clinic is named.
