Veterinarian
Dr. Fraulein Douglass
Graduating with honors and earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in the Philippines in 2003, Dr. Douglass embarked on a remarkable journey in the world of veterinary medicine. After seven years of practicing small animal medicine, she relocated to Texas where she spent a decade managing an emergency facility before pursuing and completing her Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) Program in 2018.
Dr. Fraulein Douglass then lent her expertise to a small animal clinic in Katy before realizing her dream of founding her own facility. Now, as a Richmond veterinarian, she’s thrilled to extend her nurturing care to pets throughout the area. She’s driven by a passion for diagnostics and critical care medicine, and she actively contributes to the Filipino community. Outside of work, she finds joy in cooking, spending quality time with her family, and doting on her three rescued fur babies: Abby, Parsley, and Basil.
