Veterinarians
Dr. Brian McAllister
DVM
Read Bio
Dr Brian McAllister grew up in Birmingham, AL, and graduated from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. His first job as a Veterinarian was here at Animal Kindness! After working at a few other hospitals in town, Dr. Brian and his wife Jen purchased Animal Kindness from Dr. Holt in March 2019.
Dr. McAllister enjoys seeing many types of pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other pocket pets. He performs many surgical procedures but has a fondness for foreign-body removal. Pets seem to ingest the craziest things! During his career, Dr McAllister spent 5 years specializing in feline care. Some call him the cat whisperer. He is passionate about providing the calmest environment possible for all pets and has taught the entire staff more gentle handling of animals. Through his guidance, Animal Kindness has become a “no scruff” hospital for cats. He is also passionate about “bringing kindness back to medicine.” Your pets will be treated like they are a member of his family.
Outside work, Dr. Brian shares his life with his wife, Jen, and their awesome blended family. The kiddos include Luci, Dani, Campbell & Akeila. Their house is also shared with their dogs Knight, Roxie, Chica, and Havok and cats Rocket, Mama Cat (Spookay), Siryn, and Emma Frost.
Fun facts: Die-hard Alabama Fan. He loves the Vegas Golden Knights and recently had to give up his love for the Redskins when they failed to draft Tua Tagovaiola. His favorite band is Weezer. Anything Marvel.
Dr. Tracy Wachbrit
DVM
Read Bio
Though she began her college career with an interest in horses, Dr. Wachbrit found during vet school that she loved working on various species, including but not limited to cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, goats, horses, and small “pocket pet” mammals. Her areas of interest include neurology, cardiology, virology, exotic animal medicine, and client education.
In her free time, Dr. Wachbrit enjoys horseback riding, archery, video games, comics, spending time with friends and family, and relaxing at home. She is the willing servant to her two cats, Raven and Ember, and her two snakes, Nebu (corn snake) and Artemis (ball python).
Dr. Crystal Munguia
DVM
Read Bio
Her special interests in medicine is Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, and Critical Care. Dr. Munguia finds client communication and education is the most fulfilling part of her job. Pet owners are often frustrated because a family member is not feeling well and don’t know what to do. Being able to help people and animals through difficult times makes her job very fulfilling. As soon as she signed my contract she claims to have felt like a part of the team. During her breaks, she was able to visit and shadow the team, and she cannot wait to grow with the Animal Kindness team, and bond with the staff. The best part about being a veterinarian is she likes her role as an educator and her contribution to the human-animal bond. A tip she’d give owners is to always play with your animals’ feet, ears, and mouth in order to get them being comfortable with you touching those areas can be crucial to being able to apply at-home treatments later.
In her free time, she enjoys being very outdoorsy. She looks forward to going hiking, camping, rock climbing, and running. Her favorite animal are pigs for their personalities. She often collect piggy banks from her travels. Back at home, she lives with her husband who is her high school sweethearts from Basic Academy here in Henderson, NV. He is her biggest cheerleader, and she’s not sure she could’ve survived veterinary school without him. Clementine is our female chiweenie and was the first pet they adopted together, she is her adventure buddy. In her youth she was able to run 10Ks, enjoyed hiking, kayaking, and camping. As she starts to age, she is more of a long walk type of gal, but still can’t resist jumping through rocks and running through the grass. Lastly, they adopted our old lady cat, Rinnegan, prior to the start of veterinary school.
Leadership
Jen
Practice Manager / Owner
Read Bio
I have a 15-year-old son named Campbell, who is a fantastic dancer. In 2016, I adopted a 15-year-old girl, Akeila (now 22), who was an incredible gymnast and is currently studying at Wichita State University to be a Police Officer. In 2017, I met Dr. Brian McAllister; his two daughters also became a huge part of my world. Dani is 12, obsessed with cats, and wants to be a Veterinarian someday like her dad. Finally, Luci is nine and recently started gymnastics and is loving it. I love our wonderfully blended family! Brian and I also have 4 dogs (Knight, Roxie, Havok, and Chica) and 4 cats (Mama Cat (Spookay), Rocket, Siryn, and Emma Frost).
We purchased Animal Kindness from Dr. Holt in March 2019 and have enjoyed owning the hospital and making it our own! We have the best clients and pets. We strive daily to treat each animal, their owners, and each other with kindness and compassion. When you come to Animal Kindness, we want you to feel part of our family.
When I’m not working at the hospital, I often volunteer through the Junior League of Las Vegas, driving the kids to all their activities, working on my Veterinary Technician Program through Penn Foster, boating, reading, or enjoying delicious food and wine with friends.
