I grew up all over the country, but claim Massachusetts as the homeland. Consequently, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan, and a not so huge Yankees fan! I moved to Las Vegas in 2001 and have enjoyed working at Park Animal Hospital since then. My four-legged children include my Akita Hanna, a cat Chloe, 2 cockatiels Petey & Parker, 2 desert tortoises, and several fish. In October 2005 I added another pet to the menagerie; oh wait! That was a husband!!! I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and eating spicy food. I love being a part of the Park Animal Hospital family and enjoy helping your pets stay happy and healthy.

Jennifer C Rowan, DVM

Graduated From & Year: Kansas State University, 2006

Interests in: Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, and Neurology

Pets:Two cats – Taz (Manx) and Piper (DMH)

Hometown: Mills, NE

Joined the practice: May 2008

Special Interests:Originally growing up on a ranch in North Central Nebraska, moving to Las Vegas in 2006 was somewhat of a culture shock. However, I have grown to enjoy the many exciting opportunities that the city has to offer. For example, I met and recently married my husband Jeff, in November of 2008. In our spare time, we love to go dancing – mainly West Coast Swing and a little Country Two-Step. You know what they say, “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl!” So, consequently, when I am not busy working, dancing, reading, watching movies, gardening, working out, or scrapbooking, I try to return to Nebraska as often as I can to spend time with family and help out on the ranch!
