Dr. Jones is originally from Pembroke, Ontario, and began his animal-care career as a teenager when he took a part-time cleaning job at the local pet hospital. He was often alone with the hospital’s patients, and it was there that he learned firsthand how to care for pets the right way. Before long, he was committed to becoming a veterinarian himself.

Dr. Jones attended the University of Guelph and graduated from Ontario Veterinary College with his veterinary degree in 1988. He started his career as a licensed veterinarian in Kingston, Ontario, and also practiced in Saskatchewan for three years before coming to the Parry Sound community with his family in May of 1992.

Here at the clinic, Dr. Jones is particularly fond of seeing the relief and happiness on a pet owner’s face when their loving companion returns to them. He also enjoys the constant learning experience that his profession provides; he likes to say that change is the one constant in his field! Dr. Jones is proud to work with his talented and compassionate team, which he truly considers his second family.

Dr. Jones and his wife, Kim, have two grown children named Christopher and Meaghan. When he isn’t spending time with his family or tending to pets’ needs here at the hospital, Dr. Jones enjoys curling, swimming, biking, and participating in triathlons. He completed his biggest race yet, the Ford Ironman in Cozumel, Mexico, in 2010!
