Dr. Jen Jones
Dr. Jen Jones grew up in Hershey, PA and aspired to become a veterinarian from a very young age as she cared for all the animals in her life. She spent her free time during high school and college working in small animal hospitals and at a nearby thoroughbred racetrack. This fueled her interest in sports medicine and in the overall wellbeing of animals.
She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Vermont studying both in Burlington VT and Christchurch New Zealand. She graduated Suma Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. She then attended Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree graduating Magna Cum Laude.
For six years after graduating, Dr. Jen enjoyed being an equine veterinarian in the Hudson Valley as an associate at Rhinebeck Equine. She then made the transition to small animal practice and joined Sand Road Animal Hospital in 2006. She enjoys all facets of general practice including dentistry, ultrasonography, and surgery and she provided compassionate veterinary care to animals in the NW Corner of CT for 18 years.
Dr. Jen spends her time outside of work with her two daughters, her cat Ivy and her sweet black lab named Poppy. You may also find her swing dancing, telemark skiing, hiking or chasing down a sunset view in the beautiful NW corner of CT.
Litchfield Veterinary Hospital is very excited to have Dr. Jones joining our team this October 16th.
