Veterinarian
Dr. Jenny Larson was raised in both North Dakota and Southwestern Washington. Her husband, Mike, worked for the military, which gave them multiple opportunities to travel around the country. Despite their travels, the Pacific Northwest always felt like home, and in 2023, Dr. Larson and her family were thrilled to return to this beloved region, settling in North Bend.
Dr. Larson's educational journey in veterinary medicine began at the University of Florida College, where she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2015. Following graduation, she sought out additional training and experience, completing a rotating small animal emergency and specialty internship at Northwest Veterinary Specialist in Clackamas, Oregon. This internship provided her with hands-on, intensive experience in a variety of fields, expanding her knowledge and expertise in both emergency care and specialized treatments. After her internship, Dr. Larson practiced general medicine and surgery in North Carolina. During this time, she also worked relief shifts at a local emergency room on the weekends, further elevating her skills in emergency care and gaining a diverse set of experiences. Dr. Larson joined the Salish Veterinary team in December of 2023.
Dr. Larson has always been passionate about the challenges of veterinary medicine, and she particularly enjoys working on complex soft tissue surgeries, dentistry cases, and emergency situations. Her ability to perform point-of-care ultrasound and her focus on preventative medicine are just a few of the many ways she strives to improve the lives of her patients. One of Dr. Larson's core values is client education, and she is deeply committed to providing individualized care for each animal and their family, ensuring that pet owners are equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to make the best decisions for their pets' health and well-being.
Outside of her veterinary career, Dr. Larson leads and active and adventurous lifestyle. She enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Mike, and their two energetic sons, Torin and Viggo. Together, they explore the outdoors, engaging in activities such as mountain biking, hiking, skiing, kayaking, and fishing. Their family is also enriched by their four-legged companions, Brie (pictured), a crazy husky mix, and two semi-evil cats, Gator and Gremlin.
