I feel privileged to see your adorable pets in your homes for preventative care and end of life care. For full service veterinary care you can always visit me in the hospital setting.

We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Jen Calvert as the newest member of our veterinary team at Countryside!
Dr. Jen grew up in Douglass, KS, and has called Wichita home for the past 14 years. She earned her undergraduate degree from Wichita State University before attending Kansas State University for veterinary school. With over 14 years of experience as a veterinarian and more than two decades in the veterinary field, Dr. Jen brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and dedication to her practice. She is also currently pursuing a Master’s in Social Work and certification in veterinary social work at Wichita State University, showcasing her commitment to both animals and their humans.
Dr. Jen’s passion for veterinary medicine was sparked by her love for animals and the bond she shared with her first dog, a cocker spaniel she received as a teenager. She finds joy in helping pets feel at ease during visits and supporting pet parents through both joyful and challenging moments. Her favorite animals to work with are cats and small dogs, though she also has a soft spot for guinea pigs and their adorable squeaks.
Specializing in pet behavior, Dr. Jen loves guiding owners through socialization, training, and enrichment. She is also deeply committed to providing compassionate end-of-life care, ensuring both pets and their families feel supported during difficult times.
When asked for advice for pet owners, Dr. Jen emphasized the importance of meeting pets’ physical and mental needs. She advises dog owners to prioritize exercise, training, and socialization to ensure a happy, well-rounded pet. Similarly, cats benefit from activities that mimic their natural instincts, like climbing, hunting, and playing. By focusing on these essentials, owners can help their pets thrive and enjoy a deeper bond with them.
We couldn’t be more excited to have Dr. Jen on board! Please join us in giving her a warm welcome to the Countryside
