How everything started
It all started over five years ago. Victor Lugo the founder of Vet Voyage was living in Toronto. He decided to adopt a cute little dog he had found in the sidewalk going to the college. He rescued the puppy and decided to take care of him even though he was a broke college international student.
Victor started wondering why people in Toronto didnt have as many pets as people do back home in Mexico City. Funny how life is that one month later after having this thought Victor was faced with the harsh reality that Camilo had broken his leg and needed surgery quoted in several Toronto clinics in the thousands of dollars. The worst part was having to experience the vets lack of empathy forcing him to take a quick decision between surgery or euthanasia. Who in their right mind would think euthanasia for a perfectly healthy pet would even be an option for their beloved furry friend? So he thought “there has to be an alternative”. Victor having lived almost his entire life in Mexico City decided to take Camilo with him in his next visit to Mexico City just one week later…
It wasn´t until five years later when Teseo, Victor´s dog got really sick with a bacteria and had to be taken to Marlovet Hospital. Luckily they found out what he had after several pricy medical exams. It was then when Victor was paying the vet bills when he thought I can only imagine how much would this cost in Toronto and with that curiosity and the experience he previously had with Camilo the idea of Vet Voyage came about. That´s when he decided to actually start working and to really think this was a feasible alternative for people who couldn´t afford pricy vet bills in the US and Canada.
