Danel Avila

Hello! My name is Danel and I started working at Gentle Care Pet Clinic in 2018. I was born into this world loving animals and one of my first words was a kitty! I began working professionally with animals when I started working at the Hollywood Park Racetrack (now known as SoFi Stadium) as a hot walker for thoroughbred racehorses. I then went to school at California Healing Arts in Carson, CA, and got my certification to become a veterinarian assistant. Shortly after, I applied to Gentle Care Pet Clinic and I have worked with Dr. Bang ever since. I really enjoy working with animals and providing the best care for them. It brings me joy to see them get better and I want to make sure they get the proper care that they need. I love both cats and dogs. I have two siamese cats named Hank Williams and Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is the newest member of the family and he loves to hang out. He greets me every day after a long day of work and loves to play fetch. I also taught him and Hank to sit on command. Overall, I am compassionate to all animals and I love working for Dr. Bang at Gentle Care Pet Clinic.
