Dr. Analucia was born and raised in San Diego where her natural love for animals flourished with trips to the San Diego Zoo, caring for her pets, and horseback riding lessons. After completing her undergraduate degree in animal science at Cal Poly Pomona, she accepted an offer to become part of the inaugural class at Midwestern University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Glendale, Arizona.
Shortly after vet school graduation, Dr. Analucia decided to move back to Southern California to be close to her family where she practiced small animal general medicine as an Associate Veterinarian. It was during this time that she realized how special and important it was to guide families as they said goodbye to their pets. In 2021, Dr. Analucia transitioned to end-of-life veterinary medicine to provide dignified and compassionate care to the pets that need her most. She soon realized that being fluent in Spanish allowed her to connect with many families in even more special ways.
In her free time, Dr. Analucia loves to play with her two silly dogs at home, watch movies and shows, and spend time with her family.
