It is our pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Ashley Durand, our new DVM!
Dr. Ashley Durand is a Jacksonville native and proud graduate of Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Before veterinary school, she earned both her undergraduate degree and a Master’s in Biology from Auburn University. After spending the last several years out West, she’s thrilled to be returning home to begin her veterinary career in the community that first inspired her love of animals.
Dr. Durand’s professional interests include preventive care, internal medicine, and building lasting relationships with pet families. She brings with her a deep appreciation for the human-animal bond—especially shaped by her 13-year-old Pomeranian, Kit, who has joined her on four cross-country road trips and visited nearly every national park in the U.S.
Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Dr. Durand exploring local trails, hunting for great new music, or soaking in the sunshine with Kit by her side.
Dr. Durand will be joining us this September and we are very excited to have her. Please help us welcome her to the team!
