Jen Kagno
Jen has two passions in life, animals and sports. Growing up, she always planned on becoming a vet, but when it came time to go to college, she had to choose one path and the hockey world won. She worked in professional and collegiate sports for years. but then her love for our furry friends took over and she happily joined the veterinary world in 2012.
Jen is our front of house guru and is getting very handy with helping out back as well. She is always there to lend a hand, clean a mess and cuddle with all the patients!
The fella above was Jen’s best friend Pugsley, who she sadly lost this past May. He was the luckiest rescue ever and one day, she will rescue another!
