Dr. Flood-one of our own



Dr. Jennifer Flood has been part of the 1st Pet Veterinary Centers family for over 10 years now.  As long as she has been with us, when asked what we would be surprised to know about her, her reply was ‘That I… absolutely LOVE my job- I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else!’.  


Clearly Dr. Flood has known her path all along.  Having been born in Cleveland, she has lived the majority of her life in the Valley.  She achieved her undergraduate degree from Arizona State University and went directly on to Colorado State University where she obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.  



 What is Dr. Flood’s favorite story from working at 1st Pet?  That she is always amazed to see the generosity and the huge hearts our clients have--whether it be offering to help pay for a stranger's bill, consoling another client during the euthanasia of their first pet, or adopting/fostering the stray cat that gets brought in...our clients are amazing!  And we completely agree!  



Dr. Flood's favorite thing about her work is becoming an integral part of a client's relationship with their pet.   She also enjoys getting to be a part of many of her patients lives from puppy/kittenhood until they are seniors--it is fun to see them grow and mature. 

 Dr. Flood’s own family consists of her husband, 4 children (you would never know it by looking at her!), 2 step children (kids ranging from 17yrs- 1yr old!), 1 cat, and 1 dog.  What about her spare time?  She laughs at the thought of spare time with 6 children and all her furry patients to care for at 1st Pet!  But she wouldn’t have it any other way….
