We had the good fortune of connecting with Jesus Aramendi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jesus, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
During my 20-year career in the veterinary field, I’ve learned some unique skills in customer service that were extremely valuable. Pet parents are looking for personalized top-notch care for their furry friends, and I realized this level of personalized care was missing. I envision a veterinary practice where the vet experience was an outstanding 5 stars, from the moment you walk in, until the moment you leave. This is what Furlifevets is all about.  

No matter how tough the case may be, you and your pet will have a positive experience.  

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Furlifevets is a modern and unique veterinary practice located in Delray Beach Florida. We specialize in preventing and minimizing stress and anxiety during a veterinary visit. We are the only Fear Free Certified veterinary practice in more than 7 counties in Southeastern Florida, which means, we are the only certified practice in a more than 150-mile radius. To obtain a practice fear-free certification, our veterinary hospital had to meet the highest standards of care and meet all the required criteria. The facilities must have an independent entrance for cat patients, a dedicated cat room, emotional medical records for every patient, pheromones in each room and lobby, and state-of-the-art pet enclosures are just a few of the requirements. The entire staff must obtain a certification on how to handle pets with the minimum stress possible and equipment like nylon muzzles, gas cages, and shock collars are prohibited. What really makes Furlifevets unique is the veterinary experience. When you walk in, you and your pet are greeted by name. Instead of waiting hours in a crowded lobby, you are placed directly into a room. In the exam rooms, you will find real furniture, no exam tables, no scary above-ground scales, and the doctor and staff sit on the floor with your pet. As a matter of fact, the entire hospital was carefully designed to mimic the comfort and looks of a home.

Pets are allowed on the couches for comfort. Toys, treats, and enrichment activities are offered to every pet. We invite you to come with your pet to our open-concept treatment area while your pet is getting samples taken and diagnostics performed. Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed with the latest technology in veterinary equipment.  

We follow the most advanced veterinary protocols, which allow your pet to feel better while you are having a pleasant experience.  

The best part is we offer the most competitive fees and prices in the area.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Delray Beach offers one of the most fun and safest environments. It fits every age group and is family friendly. In our shopping plaza, you can start your day with a delicious breakfast from Bagels with Deli or Carmela Coffee. Need a quick bite to eat, try Ripe, Poke, or Olive U. Need grocery shopping? You can go to Josephs’s Market where you can find the best meat, wine, and cheese selection in the area. For dinner, you must try Warren and its delicious food plus if you are a bourbon aficionado you can find there the widest selection of bourbon in the area. Across from us, you have the Delray Marketplace with numerous shops, restaurants, and a full movie theater. Right up the street, 15 minutes from us, you will find one of the gems of South Florida for fun and night activities at Atlantic Avenue. We are home to miles of Florida’s best east coast beaches. 

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to mention that Furlifevets would not exist without the efforts, support, knowledge, and creativity of my beautiful wife Patricia Cordero. A co-founder and mastermind behind our success. She has worked harder than anyone else to make this dream a reality. Her vision and creativity are beyond the four walls of a veterinary practice. She saw the future of how veterinary hospitals should look and feel and was able to bring it to life. There is no question about the talent she possesses and the value she brings to our business.
