Founders
Laia Sabàt
FOUNDING PARTNER
VET
Earned a degree in Veterinary Medicine in 2001 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. I’m a huge fan of nature, nutrition and sports. My favourite place in the world is always being surrounded by animals either in the sea or in the mountains. I’ve been working for more than 20 years as a clinical vet and surgeon, in addition to working with work and sporting dogs (Pirena sled dog races, mushing world championships, agility…). Founding BITXOS in 2010 was the perfect union for me: animals everywhere, joy and dedication to something I feel from deep within. Working with animals should definitely be like this. They give their all… and we give even more. I’m fascinated by creativity and good times; that’s why I handle the clinic’s social media accounts, club and events (canicross, yoga, paddle boarding, etc).
Britta Gwalani
FOUNDING PARTNER
VET
Having received a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Berlin in Germany in 2000 and a doctorate in small animal hospitalisation in 2002, I also completed a postgraduate course in ophthalmology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2004). I inherited my passion for medicine from my father and founding Bitxos Veterinaris in 2010 was a dream come true. I love being the link between animals and owners, helping and guiding them towards the best solutions at all times and working in something I love! In my free time, I enjoy my family, my dogs, nature and cooking!Team
Elisabeth Perez
Vet
I’m a vet who earned a degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2013. The areas I’m most interested in are internal medicine and dermatology. My favourite place is in the lab looking at cytology tests under the microscope and surrounded by books, always aiming to be up-to-date with clients and the latest treatments. When I’m not working, I love traveling and climbing impossible peaks along with my dog Samba, taking in all the spectacular scenery.
Irene Osés
Vet
I’m a vet who earned a degree in 2019 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. I’m passionate about surgery and emergency medicine. Determined, friendly and a fighter, I never give up. Passionate about sports and life (always with a certain “order”), my favourite place is the operating theatre and my hobbies are being silly, twirling around and playing with my cats.
Gemma Torres Ros
Vet nurse / Physical Therapist
Having earned a degree in 1992 as a Veterinary Assistant, I have 28 years of experience. In 2017, I did a veterinary rehabilitation and physical therapy course and am currently studying veterinary acupuncture. Her patience, knowledge and hands have made her a key part of the clinic when it comes to natural medicine, alternative treatments, acupuncture and physiotherapy. I’m a person who needs very little. I’ve got a big heart and am always trying to understand others’ needs and their pets. With experience and an instinct for work like those from the past. Outside the clinic, you can find me doing kilometres on long walks with Rita, hunting mushrooms in the autumn… or doing Pilates. Gemma is Gemma and everyone knows it.
Anna Gonzalez Martin
Vet nurse
Having earned a degree in 2014 as a Veterinary Assistant, I specialise in animal nutrition, clinical ethology and handling exotic pets. You can see me doing canicross races, attempting traditional human towers as a “castellera” and parading through the streets as a fire beast in Mataró… but, above all, enjoying my lifelong dream: adopting a dog, KIBA! At the clinic, you can find me inside cages looking after hospitalised pets. All of you who know me, know I’ll give your pets lots of love and I always have a smile for everyone. I’m the voice and link between the clinic and the rest of the world.
Tatiana Marcova
Stylist
The first thing you’ll see before “Tati” arrives at the clinic are all her poodles… a bunch of hairy balls jumping around follow her everywhere. Tati has a huge heart and innate talent looking after skin and fur. Always attentive to contests and exhibits, our clients leave the beauty shop with the latest trends and enjoying the best products (vet products) to ensure their skin health. As she always says, “The best thing about each day is working with dogs and cats; it’s a dream come true!”
