Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Freitas.
Hi Amanda , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
🐾 Amanda Freitas — The Woman Behind AmaonCare: A Story of Love, Dedication, and Courage That Crosses Borders
The journey of Amanda Freitas is one of passion, resilience, and purpose. A veterinarian by training and an entrepreneur by vocation, Amanda has dedicated her life to animals since she was 20 years old.
Before becoming a specialist in veterinary surgery and anesthesia, she worked in every area of a veterinary hospital — starting at reception, then moving through grooming, patient care, surgery assistance, and finally becoming a skilled veterinarian. This hands-on experience gave her a deep understanding of what true animal care means — a philosophy that defines the very heart of AmaonCare.
In Brazil, Amanda founded and still leads AmaonCare Veterinary Center, a hospital known for its modern facilities, highly qualified team, and humanized approach that values every pet as part of the family. Under her leadership, AmaonCare became a symbol of trust, ethics, and excellence, earning the respect of clients and professionals alike.
Driven by new challenges and a desire to share her vision of compassionate care beyond borders, Amanda started a new chapter in her career with the creation of AmaonCare Pet USA, located in St. Cloud, Florida.
In the U.S., she currently leads the unit focused on grooming services, bringing the same Brazilian warmth, quality, and attention to detail that define the brand.
While still learning English and adapting to a new culture, Amanda continues to build her dream with courage and determination. Her goal is to expand AmaonCare Pet USA into a full veterinary facility in the near future — combining her medical expertise with her lifelong passion for animal care.
Amanda’s story is a powerful example that success is built with love, perseverance, and purpose. From a young woman passionate about animals to the CEO of a brand that crosses borders, she proves that when you work with your heart, no dream is too big.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Challenges That Shape a Journey — The Strength Behind AmaonCare
Behind the success of AmaonCare lies a story of courage, resilience, and deep love.
In Brazil, Amanda Freitas faced one of her greatest challenges: building a team truly committed to growing together.
Running a 24-hour veterinary hospital is no easy task — it requires endurance, leadership, and complete dedication.
Maintaining the same level of care and quality for both animals and their owners has always been a top priority, but it also demands constant attention and hard work.
In the United States, the challenges took on a completely new shape.
Starting a business in another country, without local history or investors behind it, is an act of pure courage.
Amanda is the sole owner of AmaonCare, and everything that exists today was built from the ground up — with vision, discipline, and faith.
Together with her husband and children, she turned her dream into a tangible, family-driven reality — where every detail reflects love and purpose.
In the beginning, one of the biggest obstacles was simply renting a physical space.
As a Brazilian without an American credit history, the process was longer and filled with extra requirements.
There were also challenges with visas, legal documentation, business licensing, and regulations — all completely new for her.
In Brazil, Amanda already knew the laws and was well established in the market; in America, everything had to be learned from scratch.
Having never worked inside a U.S. pet shop, every step of the journey was a lesson — from understanding how the industry operates to adapting AmaonCare’s Brazilian model of service to the American culture.
But through it all, her love for animals and commitment to excellence never wavered.
That passion is felt by every client who walks into AmaonCare Pet USA, and it’s what has allowed the business to grow and earn its place in the community with trust and consistency.
Amanda believes that challenges are not roadblocks, but essential steps in building something authentic.
Each difficulty has brought valuable lessons, and every achievement is proof that with passion, faith, and purpose, it’s possible to start over — and thrive — anywhere in the world
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Amaoncare ?
At AmaonCare, everything begins with my name and personal purpose.
“Ama” comes from Amanda and also from love, while “on care” represents care — capturing the essence of what we do: caring with love and dedication.
In Brazil, AmaonCare started as a 24-hour veterinary hospital, recognized for its humanized care, advanced medicine, and a team that treats every pet as part of the family. Over the years, we became a reference in veterinary excellence, offering everything from routine consultations to complex surgeries, always with a focus on compassion and quality.
Now, in the United States, AmaonCare Pet USA, located in St. Cloud, Florida, carries the same philosophy through our grooming services.
We bring the warmth and attention of Brazilian care to every animal we serve — making grooming not just a service, but a positive, safe, and loving experience.
What sets us apart is our genuine passion. We are a family-run business, built from the ground up with dedication and purpose. There are no large corporations behind us — just honesty, effort, and the desire to do things right.
Every client feels that difference from the moment they walk through our doors.
Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is that AmaonCare represents trust and care without borders. Whether in Brazil or the U.S., our mission is the same: to provide exceptional, compassionate care that makes pets and their families feel truly valued.
For readers, I want them to know that AmaonCare is not just a name — it’s a promise. A promise of love, respect, and excellence in everything we do.
What are your plans for the future?
Our vision for the future is to expand AmaonCare Pet USA into a full-service veterinary center, combining the same high-quality care we offer in Brazil with the warmth and attention our clients already love.
While we currently focus on grooming services, we are actively preparing to bring veterinary medicine to our U.S. unit, offering consultations, diagnostics, surgery, and anesthesia — everything under one roof, just like in our Brazilian hospital.
Personally, I’m excited to continue building a family-driven business that reflects my passion and expertise in animal care. I am also preparing to validate my veterinary credentials in the U.S., which will allow me to provide hands-on medical care here as I do in Brazil.
Looking ahead, I want AmaonCare to be recognized as a trusted and leading brand in animal care, both in the U.S. and internationally. My goal is for our name to be synonymous with love, quality, and excellence, so that every pet and family knows they can rely on us.
For our team and clients, this means growth, trust, and consistent quality, and for me, it’s about continuing to share love, care, and expertise with every pet we serve.
We are just at the beginning of this journey in the U.S., and I’m looking forward to creating something unique, sustainable, and truly impactful for pets and their families.
