We are so excited to announce that we will be offering Cooperative Care sessions! These one-on-one training sessions will be available starting on September 1st.

Cooperative Care is a training approach that teaches dogs to participate in and be more comfortable in various handling situations where they may feel scared or anxious. Examples of handling can include putting on a harness, nail trims, physical exams and the various components, having their feet cleaned after going outside, and so much more.

Over the course of several sessions with our behavioral trainer, we’ll identify your dog’s triggers and discomforts, building a plan that will help at home, in medical settings, and anywhere else your dog may go.

Our goal is to build your dog’s confidence and provide the skills they need to make visits and handling more enjoyable for both parties. Before training sessions begin, we’ll schedule a consult where you and our trainer will begin to formulate a plan that will best help your pup.

Have you noticed anxiety at the vet? Reach out to the clinic with questions and our trainer will contact you directly! And stay tuned in the next few weeks as we share more about cooperative care!

As we wrap up Assistant Appreciation Week, we want to say thank you for celebrating with us! Your comments and kindness are amazing, and we are so grateful!

Assistants are often overlooked and under-appreciated in veterinary medicine, but their contributions are so important to patient care. We happen to have some of the very best on our team.

Meet Ella! Ella has been with JVC for about 3 years, primarily working as a CSR when she’s not at school.

Ella began training as an assistant recently, hoping to gain more hands-on experience as she works her way toward vet school! Her love for science and farm animals naturally led her into vet med, and she’s particularly interested in neurological cases.

Ella says that her favorite part of this field is “Helping owners through stressful sick pet appointments and seeing the smile return to their faces as relief is brought to their pet.” We’re so glad to have you on the team, Ella!

Savannah’s superpower is connecting with and understanding animals. She is our Fear-Free team leader, and is deeply invested in making sure our clinic feels comfortable and welcoming to even the most worried pets.

Savannah’s experience ranges from rescues to doggie daycares, and she ended up at JVC almost 6 years ago. She loves the opportunity to help heal animals, and says, “I wanted to make a positive impact rather than just get a paycheck, and each patient is a new opportunity to do something good.”

Savannah, you do so much to improve the well-being of each patient that walks through our door, and we cannot thank you enough!

Kayla has loved animals since she was young, and she landed in the perfect field to fulfill her childhood dreams! She has worked in vet med for about 3.5 years, and JVC has been lucky to have her for 2 of those.

Kayla is an incredibly hard worker, and we can always count on her to take whatever is thrown her way with a smile and a great attitude. She loves helping clients navigate wellness visits, but is especially passionate about allergy and skin issues. And of course, she loves puppy visits!

Kayla, JVC is better because you work here and we’re so grateful for you!

Marcy’s lifelong passion for animals led her to veterinary medicine in 2008. Her path brought her to JVC about 2 years ago, and we’re so glad it did.

With an energy drink in hand, Marcy can always be counted on to show up for her patients and teammates. She loves puppy visits, but also enjoys a medical mystery with a thorough work-up, especially when it leads to greater clarity and a “fixable” issue!

She loves working with clients to give patients a long and healthy life, and says she likes being part of a team that gives as much care to each other as we do to our patients. Thank you for being such a bright spot, Marcy! We appreciate you!

Kendra comes from a multi-generational vet med legacy! She has fond memories of hanging out with her mom (a vet tech) at work when she was a kid, and about 3 years ago she stepped into her own role as a veterinary assistant.

Kendra has a special place in her heart for misunderstood dogs, specifically shepherds, rottweilers, and pitbulls.

You might see Kendra at the front desk occasionally, as she splits her time at JVC between assisting and filling in as a CSR. And if you hear loud laughter from the treatment area, chances are it’s her! Kendra, we are grateful for everything you do!

Meet Danika! She has been with the JVC team for almost 3 years, and brings so much knowledge to our team.

Not only is she a rock star vet assistant, she’s also a certified dog trainer and behaviorist, with almost 10 years of pet care experience. Danika runs puppy classes here at the clinic, and works with patients and their owners on cooperative care. She is passionate about giving your pets a calm, respectful experience while they’re in our clinic.

Her favorite part of working at Jelsema Vet Clinic is building relationships with our clients and their pets, and she often gets to start that relationship from puppyhood. Danika, thank you for sharing your talents and gifts with us! We appreciate you!

P.s. Danika became engaged to the love of her life over the weekend, and we are so excited for her!!

This week we’re going to celebrate and get to know our veterinary assistants! Our Vet Assistants are an integral part of the team here at JVC, and we couldn’t do it without them. Our assistants are trained to assist the doctors in exam rooms, monitor sedation, administer vaccines, draw blood, and sooooo much more. While no formal education is required to be an assistant, they are a highly skilled group that never stops learning. The support they offer our doctors and technicians is unmatched, and we truly couldn’t function without their constant hard work and dedication. If you are around the clinic this week, join us in expressing our gratitude for the amazing work our assistants do!
