Jennifer Strickland BSN, DVM Bio
Dr. Jennifer Strickland was born in Ohio and moved to Kansas during her high school years. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from a small college in the Kansas City area. After working in the nursing field for several years, she decided to combine her love of animals, people and medicine by pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Georgia in 1995. “Go Dawgs!”
Upon graduation, she began working in a mixed animal practice in Kansas. She transitioned to exclusively treating companion animals after the birth of her children, Colin and Kathryn. She has previously worked at several small animal clinics in both the Kansas City and Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan areas. She has enjoyed roles of associate, medical director and practice owner during her career. The best part of her day has always been the time she is able to help develop and build the relationship between pets and their owners. Guiding both through the entire pet life cycle from newborn to end-of-life palliative care is her passion. She has a special interest in dentistry and the practice of medicine, especially that of senior pets with an emphasis on quality of life. She is very excited to join the team at Sea Island Animal Hospital!
She and her husband, Dennis, after many summer vacations, finally decided to make their move to the low country. The Beaufort area, in particular, has always held a special place in their hearts. In her spare time, she loves reading, yoga and looks forward to long walks with her dogs, Padfoot and Lucky, ON THE BEACH!
