Krystine Staats

Registered Veterinary Technician

Krystine, a California native from Lancaster, has been an animal lover since she was a small child. So it was no surprise that she fell in love with Vet Med while volunteering as a kennel assistant in 2010 at the American Naples Veterinary Clinic while she was serving her last tour in the US Navy in Naples, Italy. Shortly from there, she attended Pima Medical Institute- Chula Vista, graduating with honors and a Directors Award as well as her AS for veterinary medicine, becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. She considers her self as a well rounded technician with experience in emergency, dermatology, and general practice surgery, giving credit to her many years in a well renowned specialty and emergency hospital in San Diego.

Krystine and her husband, Ramona locals, enjoys quite evenings with their bundle of fur kids. But when the weather is warm you can catch them and their pups, Dakota and Lilith, at the beach. Krystine has never met a cat she doesn’t like and enjoys the connections she makes with the families and pets she meets along her journey in her career.
