Chris, Vet Assistant
Chris joined Lakewood Veterinary Center in September, bringing over eight years of experience in animal care. His journey began at an animal shelter when he was 22, where he grew into various roles, including kennel technician, pet support specialist, foster/rescue coordinator, and veterinary assistant. This time helped Chris develop a deep understanding of the compassion and dedication it takes to care for animals.
Chris’s love for animals began early in life. Despite not growing up with pets, his curiosity and passion flourished through books and watching Animal Planet. Now, he’s the proud pet parent of two rescue cats, Jasper, a gray domestic medium hair, and Jonas, a black domestic shorthair, both of whom he fostered before adopting.
In his free time, Chris enjoys spending time with his partner, exploring the Katy Trail, gaming, and indulging in their favorite pastime—watching scary movies. He’s also a talented baker, known for his delicious chocolate chip cookies.
