Alison Jones
DVM
Dr. Alison Jones grew up in Thunder Bay, and knew from a very young age that veterinary medicine would become her life’s passion. A side-track led her to an eight year career as a registered nurse, working in the ICU at two busy Toronto hospitals. Eventually, though, Alison’s veterinary dream reclaimed her, and she graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1997. Since then, she has worked predominantly in Wellington County, but also loved the 1 ½ years she spent at a busy practice in Halifax, NS.
As a breeder and exhibitor of Great Danes since 1992, Alison naturally developed a special interest in canine reproduction, and has spent much of her career refining her skills in that area. In addition, she is an experienced and meticulous soft-tissue surgeon, but enjoys all aspects of her chosen work.
During her off hours, Dr. Jones relaxes on long walks in the forest with her two Great Danes, with whom she also spends time in the show ring.
