Daniel Arquero

Hello! I’m Daniel from the Philippines. I believe quality care and nice bonding are the most valuable gifts we can provide to our pets to maintain connection and stay attached to them.

Before ABVC, I worked as a professional K9 Handler with more than eleven (11) years in service. Six (6) years in the Philippines and Five (5) years in GCC-Kuwait. In Kuwait, I worked as a K9 dog handler for drug and bomb detection. Maya (Belgian) and Brex (German Shepherd) were my K9 dog partners and companions in all my working missions.

In addition, I am well experienced in handling explosive and narcotic dogs. Performing inspections related to illegal substances such as narcotics and explosives. Training dogs with basic obedience and agility. Providing dogs with proper hygiene and health care needs. Together with my K9 dog partners, we secure any assigned areas to various establishments such as malls, embassies, banks and crowded events and into different locations particularly in airport cargo, luggage areas, seaports, land borders and areas within Custom Industrial in Kuwait.

I came here in Dubai to marry my wife and decided to build a family. That’s why I needed to search for a job and leave my employment in Kuwait. Fortunately, I met my ABVC family, my second home here in Dubai. Now, I am currently working as an animal handler. I am grateful to my colleagues and my ABVC team for molding me to be a better animal handler and giving me the chance to enrich my skills and abilities by pushing me to go beyond my limitations with their guidance. Most importantly, I am overwhelmed and honored to be working with the versatile Doctors and diligent nurses in providing high-quality health care for animals.
