Dr. Jessica Self

General Practice Veterinarian

I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 4 years old; as a child I found I connected with animals faster and easier than I did with people, being a very shy and introverted person. Having a mother who was an RN also exposed me to medicine, which I found to be fascinating. When I found out I could pursue a career that allowed me to combine medicine with my love/affinity for animals, there was no other choice out there for me. Initially I went to veterinary school at Washington State University with the hopes of becoming an equine surgeon but found that I enjoyed the aspects of mixed animal medicine immensely so started my veterinary career in mixed animal practice. After working with anything from dogs, cats, and rabbits to horses, cattle, and alpacas for 8 years, I decided it was time to move my focus to my small animal patients, leading me to move to small animal practice.

Since that time, I’ve grown more in love with surgery along with improving the human-animal bond between my patients and clients. While the stresses and expectations of this field present their challenges daily, I find It is a privilege to be able to care for so many amazing pets and connect with their owners in the process. My husband and I have 3 dogs of our own, Kaia (husky/corgi mix), Mr. Bear (Min. Pin./Dachshund mix), and Yeller (Yellow lab) that pretty much run our house; of the 3, Kaia is the absolute princess of the castle and tends to be my partner in crime. I love all dogs but admit that I have a healthy obsession with corgis and if allowed, I would have my own herd of wiggle-butts. When I’m not working you can typically find me absorbed in a good book (fiction/fantasy/Sci. Fi.), enjoying time with friends/family, getting into trouble with my pup Kaia, camping with my husband and our team of dogs, or traveling to new places.
