Dr. Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA

After graduating from veterinary school at The Ohio State University in 2011, I moved back home to West Virginia to join a small mixed-animal practice. Our veterinary clinic is a general practice serving dogs, cats, and occasionally other species including horses, goats, and cattle. In the clinic, I do a little bit of everything including wellness exams, new puppy and kitten visits, surgery, sick or injured pets, and emergency visits as needed.

I also have a special interest in behavior and do house call consultations for problems including aggression, separation anxiety, house-training problems, and compulsive behavior issues. I get immense professional and personal satisfaction when I’m able to help an owner and their pet work through these problems, ultimately improving the bond between the two.

Our veterinary practice also includes a dog training facility, where I teach obedience and agility classes, as well as private lessons for dogs with more specific training issues. My three Shelties (Remy, Gatsby, and Clint) compete actively in lots of dog sports including AKC obedience, rally, agility and conformation. I am also a member of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) and an approved Canine Good Citizen evaluator for the American Kennel Club.
