Meet Our Founder
DVM, DAVDC, CVPP Jennifer Mathis
Dr. Jennifer Mathis grew up in a small town here in Iowa, but was originally born in Canada. She comes from a long line of Veterinarians including her Father, Grandfather, and Great Uncle. You may see her father on occasion as he is still practicing in Iowa today. She graduated high school as Valedictorian and soon went on to receive her Bachelors of Science degree in Biochemistry in 1997. In 2001, she graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University.
Her focus in the animal industry is dentistry, and In August 2024, Dr. Mathis earned her diplomate from the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC). Prior to formal dentistry training, she became a Certified Veterinary Medical Acupuncturist and a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner with the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management in 2013.
Research shows, eighty seven percent of dogs by age three have jaw bone loss due to periodontal disease. Other studies show 69-100% of cats by age 10 have a painful condition called tooth resorption. While one would think pets would stop eating, they rarely do. Most pets that stop eating are for reasons other than dental disease, though dental pain is still present. Dr. Jennifer Mathis knows that Dentistry is the greatest way to stop hidden pain in patients and offers Advanced Dentistry Referral Services through the Norwalk location. Her goal within the animal industry is to make people's lives better through pets, and what better way to do that then getting to the root of the issue!
**Update: In August of 2024 Dr. Jennifer R. Mathis, has been admitted as a diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC). This prestigious recognition places her among a select group of around 300 dental specialists globally, with fewer than 250 in North America.
