OUR PURPOSE

Why Ichi & Ori Exists

More than a veterinary hospital. A place built by pet parents who believe every animal deserves the same love, dignity and care as family.

Every great clinic begins with a reason.

Ours wasn't born from a business plan.

It began with years of loving animals, experiencing loss, learning difficult lessons, and believing pet parents deserved a different kind of veterinary experience.

Our Story

Our Story: A Legacy of Love and Care

At Ichi and Ori Pet Care, our journey is deeply personal—a story of love, loss, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of pets.

For over two decades, I have been a devoted pet parent, raising and loving my pets as my own children. Through this journey, I faced countless challenges—ones that every pet parent experiences. I learned, grew, and made mistakes along the way, always striving to give my pets the best life possible.

Then, life took an unexpected turn. In the span of just six months, I lost three of the most precious beings in my life—my beloved father, my cockatoo Zazu, and my dog Ichi. Their loss left an unfillable void, and suddenly, I was left with only Ori, my last remaining baby.

Through my grief, I found purpose. My father, the ultimate animal lover, had always dreamed of a world where pets received the same love and care as family. Inspired by his devotion and my own experiences as a pet parent, I decided to turn my pain into something meaningful—to create a pet care experience that truly understands and supports both pets and their parents.

Thus, Ichi and Ori Pet Care was born—a tribute to the ones I lost and a promise to every pet and pet parent who walks through our doors. Here, we don’t just provide veterinary care, grooming, day boarding, and premium retail—we create a sanctuary where pets are cherished, and pet parents feel understood.

This is more than a business. It is my heartfelt mission to ensure that no pet parent feels alone in their journey and that every pet receives the love, comfort, and care they deserve.

Welcome to Ichi and Ori Pet Care—where pets are family, and their happiness is our purpose.
