Welcome Jenna
Jenna graduated from the University of Delaware in 2018, with her degree in Animal and Food Sciences. At 15 years of age (almost ten years ago! 🙁 ), Jenna started working at a boarding facility that sparked her love for animals. However, she started her journey as a veterinary technician 5 years ago. She has experience in working with emergency and critical care patients, however Jenna’s favorite aspect of the veterinary field is assisting in surgical procedures. Outside of work, Jenna often travels with her fiance to watch him play in a men’s softball tournaments! Currently if she’s not working she is planning her upcoming wedding to take place in June 2020!
Ask us About Therapy Laser
We have recently incorporated therapy laser as a treatment modality at CAVA. Laser therapy uses light to stimulate cells at the point of treatment to reduce inflammation and pain while also increase healing. It is a very safe mode of treatment with no side effects and can be combined with other treatment modalities such as medications, physical therapy, and surgery. Treatments are commonly performed on an outpatient basis with the owner present. Therapy laser can be used to treat a variety of conditions including osteoarthritis, ear infections, skin wounds including select post surgical incisions, orthopedic injuries, and dental/oral inflammation. If you have a pet that you think would benefit from laser therapy give us a call today!

What is Point of Care Service?
Point of care service includes preventative or diagnostic testing that is performed at the site where your pet receives care. CAVA offers a variety of testing options that can be completed at the time of your pet’s visit. Having the results of these tests available at the time of the initial appointment helps to determine the next best step for your pet in a more timely fashion. This may mean treatment selection, further diagnostic testing, or referral to a specialty facility. At CAVA we offer both biochemistry and hematology bloodwork, complete urinalysis, screening for common infectious diseases, radiology imaging, and microscopic evaluation of skin, ears, and select mass lesions.
Often pet owners are worried about what testing may reveal. If done on a regular basis, preventative care testing establishes a normal baseline for your pet and allows trending of any mild abnormalities. Detecting underlying problems before advanced clinical signs develop will allow more treatment options and often results in more effective long term management. Ask us how preventative and point of care service can benefit your pet today.
