Dr. Larissa Ozeki graduated in 2008 from the Sao Paulo State University in Botucatu, Brazil; and after graduating she completed her Veterinary Anesthesiology Residency Program at the same university. Anesthesia and pain management were always Dr. Ozeki’s biggest passions. After her residency, she went to Calgary to pursue her Master’s degree with wildlife anesthesiology.

She also worked at the University of Montreal as an anesthesiology clinician for a year, and in Calgary as an emergency vet.

She adopted her first cat (Theo - a Ragdoll cross) from the Calgary SPCA and fell in love with cats and feline medicine. A year later she adopted Neko who was rescued from a dumpster at only 2 weeks of age. Dr. Ozeki loves to go horseback riding, hiking, traveling and playing video games in her spare time.

Dr. Ozeki is fluent in multiple languages including English, Portuguese, French and Spanish.
