The Veterinary Assistant is the right hand to the Veterinary Technician and Doctor. They spend their days assisting during examinations, setting up for and helping during surgery and treatments, educating our clients and caring for your pets. These are just some of their many responsibilities. Meet our experienced Veterinary Assistants!

Jenna
Veterinary Assistant
I wanted to work in veterinary medicine because of my love of animals. I try to make each visit as positive as possible for every pet that comes in. My husband Tom, and our 2 mini Rex rabbits Zander and Rocky make up my family. Like my colleagues and our clients, my pets mean the world to me. I also dog sit on the side and my dream is to eventually board a few horses on my property and run a dog boarding facility.
