We are excited to welcome **Dr. Jamie Dunaisky** to our veterinary team, starting April 14, 2026!

Dr. Dunaisky earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from The Ohio State University and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Arizona in 2023. She brings a strong passion for compassionate, individualized care, with special interests in senior pet wellness, arthritis management, behavior, nutrition, and dental health.

She is certified by the Senior Dog Veterinary Society and as a Fear Free Professional, reflecting her commitment to minimizing stress and improving the overall experience for both pets and their families.

At home, Dr. Dunaisky shares her life with two dogs—Cash, a rescue, and Secret, a retired Guide Dog—who inspire her dedication to thoughtful, lifelong care.

Please join us in giving Dr. Dunaisky a warm welcome when you see her in the hospital! We know she's going to be a great fit.
