About Us
Our practice philosophy is to provide exceptional, personalized, and compassionate care to our patients with the goal to keep them as active canine companions!
Dr. Jenn cares deeply about all of her patients with the simple goal of treating each patient as if it were her own pet. We have longer appointment times and rehabilitation sessions are always with a licensed therapist.
Our wellness clinic was designed with our patients in mind. There are no exam tables, only chairs, comfortable rugs, and dog beds. This idea came from Dr Jenn working years in general practice, seeing the high anxiety in most patients for routine health care. We are constantly looking for ways to lower the stress and create a comfortable atmosphere for our patients.
