Jessika Craig

Veterinary Technician

Jessika Craig prides herself on her warm and welcoming manner to ensure her clients feel comfortable while in the hospital and to be empathic with pets who aren’t able to tell us what or how they are feeling. This understanding nature allows her to approach every situation with a clean slate and harbor a judge-free environment in which she can work through common concerns. Jessika works hard to try to gauge what the client and patient’s needs are before they even step foot in the exam room.  

Jessika stays up to date in the ever-evolving veterinary profession by reading up on new practices and networking with peers. She looks forward to continuing her education by attending veterinary conferences and seminars to further her professional knowledge.

While Jessika treats her patients like they were her own, most of her free time is spent with her two dog sons. Sherlock, a 11-year-old failed foster Pointer/Dalmatian mix and Watson, a Rat Terrier, who followed her home 7 years ago as a wee puppy.
