22 News, Views & Sunshine TheCanaryNews.com El Periódico Inglés de Gran Canaria Summer 2014 At the end of May, HiperDino Express continued with their rapid expansion over the last year to open a new branch in San Agustín, located in the south of the island of Gran Canaria. Positive developments affecting this island in the first quarter of the year and from a desire to offer a space with ample choice and the best service, to both residents and non-residents, have led to the Canary Island supermarket group making the decision to open yet another new shop in San Agustín. Ayose and Guaci set up their veterinarian clinic just over ten years ago in the south of Gran Canaria. Over time they have worked hard and seen their business grow, in many ways defying the economic crisis, and allowing them to gradually improve the range of services that they can offer. When they started they were based in a small unit at the back of the main shopping centre in the tourist town of Puerto Rico, despite the difficulty with parking and the very limited space, their professionalism and their focus on warmth of spirit and good customer service has built them a very loyal client base. A few months back they took a very big step in realising their dreams, by moving to a much larger unit just two minutes up the road in Motor Grande, where they have been able to incorporate not only two large consultation rooms, but also a state-of-the-art surgery area and indeed their own lab facilities, enabling them to be able to supply a complete range of tests and results, often within the hour, for almost every kind of blood work and analysis required by a modern animal medicine practitioner. Fluent in Spanish, German and English they found themselves initially catering to a predominantly English clientele, however as time has gone on, and word of their work has spread, that has now evened out to be a little more representative of the seasonal fluctuations prevalent on the island, catering not only to a steady stream of English speakers, but also to a greater number of Spanish, particularly in summer time, and to Scandinavians throughout the winter. More and more people these days tend to travel with their pets and so knowing that there is a vet in whom they can trust is paramount.
