Zac
Dr. Jen's Pets
Dr. Jen adopted her gorgeous cat Chai in 2019. Chai, along with the rest of her litter, was surrendered to her clinic as their owner could not afford to look after the litter. Chai took to being queen of the house very quickly and adores her older canine brother, Zac. Zac is a 13 year old Papillon x Pomeranian, he is spritely in his old age and loves to free range at the local park.

Jennifer's Top Recommended Products
"I love this toy! It keeps Kipper entertained for hours on end!"
"This is my top recommendation for a joint supplement. Containing Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Green Lipped Mussel Powder, it's a great way to delay the onset and progression of osteoarthritis."
"This is a fabulous product that truly does reduce shedding, especially when used regularly."
"Nexgard Spectra is one of the products I recommend the most - it is an all-in-one product that controls heartworm, fleas, ticks, mites and intestinal worms. My dog loves the taste, which makes monthly parasite control a breeze."
