Practice Owner, Veterinarian
Katrinka March, DVM
At a young age, Dr. Trinka developed a deep love of medicine and a strong desire to help sick or injured animals. When she was 12 years old, she accompanied her dog to a checkup at the local clinic. Upon expressing interest in becoming a vet, the doctor strongly discouraged her, stating that not only was the work difficult, but as a female, she probably wouldn’t make it in the business. As a successful vet and the owner of Montecito Animal Clinic, Dr. Trinka has certainly proven that naysayer wrong!

Inspired by a fellow American who had been accepted to the University of Glasgow, she decided to follow suit—combining her passion for animal care with the adventure of living and studying overseas.
