I chose to share these two photos of Dr Jen, today in honor of National Boss's Day. These two photos help me capture her personality, her infectious laugh and celebrate her during a moment where she felt like she was on top of the world. I am not only thankful that our team was able to experience and celebrate her greatest accomplishment but that I get the luxury of being her Practice Manager.

I celebrate her today and all of the wonderful things she has provided me and our team. I've seen her at some of her most challenging moments and she has listened to me cry during some of my own. She has lifted me up, supported me, invested in me and most of all she has given me the trust and space that I need to be myself and lead her practices and teams to great things. She is one of the kindest, most intelligent and dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of not only meeting, but working with. Heavy on the 'with' part, I don't feel that I work FOR her, but WITH her.

Don't let me try to fool you, it hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies but her ability to evolve, her desire to give back and empower, invest in and support me and her team is unmatched. There are things that have been possible in my life that wouldn't have been, simply because she gave me the faith and tools that I needed to be successful.

Happy National Boss's Day, Dr Jen, we appreciate you more than words or a social media post could ever describe. You're truly an inspiration and I am forever grateful that our paths lead us both here.

❗❗BIG NEWS❗❗

As many of you know, Dr Jennifer Mathis has been working for the last several years to obtain her DADVC and in July 2024 she officially became a Board Certified Animal Dentist! This is a huge accomplishment and will welcome BIG changes to our practices. We look forward to the development of her teaching facility in early 2025. 👩‍🏫

This prestigious achievement marks her as one of around 300 dental specialists in the world (or one of around 250 in North America) to hold this rigorous specialty degree, demonstrating her exceptional expertise and dedication to veterinary dental care. Veterinary dental care encompasses a wide range of advanced procedures, including periodontal therapies such as guided tissue regeneration, advanced 3D imaging, oral tumor removal, oral fracture repair, root canal therapy, crowns, and orthodontics. 🐾

A celebration is in order, starting with our team traveling with Dr Jen to Palm Springs, California later this month. We will have limited hours from 9/24/2024-9/28/2024 to accommodate our team traveling. Visit our updated hours prior to stopping for food or medications during this time. 👉 https://bit.ly/4gm3XdO

If you have the pleasure of talking to or seeing Dr Jen in the near future, be sure to congratulate her on her impressive achievement! 🎉🎉🎉

Today is a special day for Morgan! She rejoined our team 1 year ago today and we are so lucky to have her. Morgan works really hard to make sure that all of your calls and questions don't go unanswered at our West Des Moines location. In addition to that, Morgan ensures that the pets boarding with us receive exceptional care! While we have always enjoyed working Morgan, the last 12 months she's grown so much as a team member and displays leadership within whatever role she is working. We look forward to many more years of celebrating Morgan on our team!

Happy 1 year Employment Anniversary, Morgan! 😻🙌🎉
