A positive attitude and a great sense of humor help lift anxious families’ spirits regarding their pet’s medical ailment. Your family will appreciate having Jen around to handle your pet’s clinical communication.

As our most knowledgeable service manager, you can rest assured that you and your pet will be treated with Jen’s kindness and expertise. While Jen loves all animals, she has a soft spot for hounds of all breeds. She is currently “Grandma” to the wild Sadie Mae, a treeing walker coonhound, and “mom” to Mo, a mixed breed cat with “tortie-tude.”

Skill, patience, and excellence are what Amber brings to the table as our veterinary technician. While she is often behind the scenes, Amber’s calm demeanor, love of our patients, and leadership have kept everything flowing smoothly since 2003.
