Jennifer Patton, DVM, CVC, CCRT
Chief of Staff
Dr. Patton’s decision to pursue veterinary medicine came after she realized that while education and teaching are her passions, it is not something she could do as a career. Veterinary medicine allowed her to combine her love of animals with her love of teaching.
After she graduated from Oklahoma State University with her Doctorate, she practiced in several high-volume hospitals in the Tulsa area, developing medical skills with varied caseloads and growing her leadership skills.
Her interests have varied through the years, but she has always loved working dogs and training, so rehabilitation and conditioning have become her primary focus. Her involvement with performance and sports dogs helps her to understand and communicate with clients on a higher level.
Dr. Patton uses a combination of therapeutic exercise, supplements, herbs, medications, chiropractic care, manual therapies, and state-of-the-art equipment at ACVH to help return and keep dogs at peak levels of competition for many years.
In her spare time, she enjoys training and showing her dogs in herding, agility, and competitive obedience, among other sports. If she is not at the hospital, you can almost always find her enjoying outdoor activities with her husband John, of 22 years, and their ‘fur children’, German Shepherd Rowdy, Border Collies, Dublin and Lloyd, Dutch Shepherd Neo, and Chance the silly yellow lab.
