Janessica J. Buchanan, also known as Jay, is originally from Amarillo, Texas. She found her love for pets at an early age, spending most of her childhood and high school years training German Shepherds with her dad. With over 6 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician, she has treated not only domestic animals, but also farm animals including cattle and horses. Jay’s passion for animals has led her to work in various hospitals throughout Texas and Georgia, where she received specialized training in surgical procedures and health & wellness treatments. Prior to joining the Suburban K9 team, her love for animals directed her towards a position with Trupanion as a licensed insurance agent for pet health. Jay’s combined experiences and compassion have helped her become a more knowledgeable advocate for maintaining pet wellness. She enjoys spending her free time pursuing acting, taking photos, and training the newest addition to her family, Akasha, a Siberian Husky pup.
