Dr Julie-Anne Small
Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Small's passion for animals comes from visiting the country every holiday where she would spend time with her grandmother's dogs. Her favourites were Spot and Sparky. She obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine in Trinidad & Tobago in 2012.Dr. Small is primarily responsible for the veterinary services delivered at Animalcare Portmore and has not flinched from the challenge of almost single-handedly operating a veterinary clinic that is remote from our main Hospital. Having lived in Portmore for over 16 years she says “I am committed to serving my community and bettering the lives of its animal residents”.

Dr Kashena McCarthy
Associate Veterinarian

Dr. McCarthy graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of the West Indies. "I enjoy interacting with clients and educating them about pet care and veterinary medicine on a whole." She also loves interacting with the many different animals she comes into contact with on a regular basis. She hopes to continue to improve the lives of animals, and by extent, the owners/clients through her service at the clinic. In her free time she enjoys writing, reading, listening to music and dancing.

Dr Natalie E. Burnett
Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Burnett has been practicing with Animalcare Veterinary Hospital since January of 2006. She has always held an affinity for animals and made the decision to become a veterinarian at a relatively young age. “I decided at the age of 15 to become a veterinarian and now that I am a veterinarian it feels good to watch a patient as it progresses from being a puppy to adulthood,” she says. “I also enjoy interacting with our many friendly clients each day.”Dr. Burnett grew up in Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica, and attended The University of the West Indies, School of Veterinary Medicine between 1998 and 2003. She is particularly interested in the areas of Dermatology, ear disease and Otoscopy, Endoscopy, and Veterinary Hospital Management.
