We told you we had one more BFVH family member we recently celebrated 25 years with so here we go!! 🐾

🌟 Celebrating 25 Amazing Years with Jasmine Lyon! 🌟

Jasmine has been in the veterinary industry since she was just 8 years old, starting in the kennel, working her way to the front desk, and finally earning her degree as a Licensed Veterinary Technician in 2004. Since then, she’s been the behind-the-scenes glue that keeps our hospital thriving. Jasmine does so much for us, from managing our bookkeeping and finances to stepping in as a technician when needed. With a passion for dog behavior and a soft spot for wildlife patients, she’s a compassionate caregiver for every animal that comes through our doors

She and her husband, our very own Trevor Lyon, share their lives with two amazing kids (who you’ve probably seen at the front desk — and yes, we know, you’ve mistaken them for Karen’s kids! 😉), many Border Collies, and a very pampered guinea pig. All of the clinic pets you've seen through the years, dating back to our beloved Ian, have been either Jasmine's personal dogs or dogs she took in through her border collie rescue program, including Sam - greeter extraordinaire. She even found Kevin for us!

Jasmine's dedication to the veterinary world and her love for animals extends to her entire family, who are just as involved in dogs and our clinic family as she is. When she’s not at the hospital, you will likely find Jasmine and her kids competing all over the southeast at dog sport events like agility, conformation, dock diving, Fast CAT, Barn Hunt, or Rally Obedience. She and her daughters have earned many top honors in dog sports.

Join us in celebrating Jasmine for 25 incredible years of dedication to BFVH and a lifetime of service to the veterinary field. We’re so lucky to have her as part of our team and family. 💖

Recently, TWO of our staff members celebrated 25 years of being with the BFVH family. We’re blessed to have a low employee turnover rate, but that half a century of care by two people is extraordinary even by our standards!! We want to acknowledge them separately so without further ado:

🌟 Celebrating 25 Years of Dr. Temple's Dedication and Expertise! 🌟

This year marks Dr. Temple’s 25th anniversary with Bells Ferry Veterinary Hospital, and we couldn’t be prouder to honor her unwavering commitment and remarkable skill. As one of our two owners and medical director, Dr. Temple is the face of our clinic’s medical excellence, known for her extraordinary surgical precision and a love for solving the most challenging cases. Her expertise has made her an artist in the surgical suite, from intricate problem cases to our wildlife patients, which she handles with unmatched care and dedication.

Beyond the hospital, Dr. Temple and her husband have been married for over two decades, she has two children (her and her husband are also recent empty nesters!), treasures her family time and her beloved Pug and Boxer, and enjoys traveling, lake and beach days, and tackling home rehab projects.

Today, we celebrate her years of tireless service, long hours, and passion for putting our patients back together, piece by piece. Here’s to Dr. Temple—thank you for 25 incredible years of service to our community and our pets! 🩺❤️
