Brandon Barulich, together with his partner Dr. Clare Randt, is proud to join Stratford Animal Hospital as co-owner and Practice Administrator. With a strong background in veterinary nursing and hospital leadership, Brandon is dedicated to ensuring exceptional care for pets and a welcoming experience for their families.

Originally from Long Island and Boca Raton, Brandon earned his Bachelor of Science in Economics from Florida Atlantic University. He began his career in veterinary medicine as a surgical assistant and quickly advanced to become a specialty surgery and lead neurology nurse at Coral Springs Animal Hospital, a busy multi-specialty emergency and referral center in Florida. There, he refined his expertise in anesthesia, imaging, peri-operative care, and patient monitoring—all while working closely with specialists and building strong relationships with clients and colleagues. It was also at Coral Springs that he met Dr. Clare.

After relocating to Naples, Florida, Brandon transitioned into hospital management, where he helped elevate standards of care and fostered a supportive, client-centered environment. Now in Connecticut, he is excited to bring that same commitment to Stratford Animal Hospital—and to trade the Florida heat for New England seasons.

As Practice Administrator, Brandon oversees daily operations, including scheduling, staffing, inventory, and client communication. His goal is to make each visit stress-free, efficient, and compassionate—because he believes pets deserve the same dignity and quality of care as any family member.

Outside the hospital, Brandon enjoys hiking with his three dogs—Ellie, Ezra, and Jaako—exploring Connecticut’s trails, skiing, traveling, cooking, and learning about sustainable farming.
