In honour of WORLD VET DAY that has just passed it’s time we celebrate the incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to the care, health and wellbeing of animals… our amazing Vets!💙
Let’s take a moment to honour our vets here at PEAK VETS for their compassion, skill and unwavering dedication!
Last but not least, DR JENN!🥳
Where are you from?
Always a bit of a tricky one for me to answer!
I'm a true mix: I was born and grew up in a little country town in France, (my dad is French), but my mum is actually a local, from Harrisville, so Queensland is very much home too!
What is your favourite part about being a vet?🩺
I love being able to make a difference to a patients life, and see results first hand.
Like seeing a dog coming in flat, unable to walk, and seing it leave with a wagging tail. Or seeing the pet that comes in with painful terrible rotten teeth, going from miserable, to its happy comfortable self again.
Pets obviously can't talk, but sometimes, their demeanour speaks a thousand words, both to us and to their owners!
I love the variety in our job, no two days are the same.
I love that we can do everything, from surgery, to pathology, to medicine, to everything in between!
I love working with our team. I know it sounds cliche, but we really are all a close knit team, and I think a happy team and workplace, really does affect your work drive, motivation, and job satisfaction.
We often work and consult with each other, and come up with a plan to get the best results for your animals.
I love the fact that it's a constantly evolving career, where you never stop learning. There are always new treatments coming out, new things to do and learn.
What do you like to do in your spare time?🌳
I love horse riding, mostly trail riding these days. I wish I could ride more often, but with our young growing family, it's a bit of a juggle! Still, those moments in the saddle are precious, especially when we can share them with our great bunch of friends!
I like keeping fit, going to the gym or being active outdoors. I love travelling and seeing new places.
Most of all, I love spending time with our family.
How many pets do you have, and what are they?
We have 3 dogs, 2 yorkshire terriers and a Whippet. We have 2 horses, and 2 ponies. We have a beautiful rescue cat, as well as a bunch of cattle! Mostly droughty- Limo Crosses ! 🥰
Most importantly, what state of origin team do you go for?
Went to uni at JCU Townsville, and only ever known myself as an Aussie Queenslander !!❤️
