More Than Just a Vet Tech: Innovation, Grit, and the Birth of Clip Trio - with Alex Contreras
In this episode of the VetStory Podcast, I sit down with Alex Contreras — a veterinary technician turned inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist — who’s on a mission to change the industry from the inside out.
Alex shares his journey from growing up in South Florida as a first-generation Cuban American to becoming the founder of Clip Trio, a 3-in-1 tool designed to make nail trims safer, faster, and cleaner. But this isn’t just about a product — it’s about purpose.
Alex dives deep into the why behind his invention, how he turned frustration into innovation, and why he's using his success to give back through Pet Trio Charity, supporting underserved families, students, and access-to-care initiatives.
Whether you’re a technician, practice owner, or someone who just loves a good underdog story — this episode will hit you in the heart and light a fire in your gut.
