Jennifer Livesay, DVM, and Owner
Dr. Livesay is an Oklahoma native and earned both her undergraduate and DVM degrees at Oklahoma State University, graduating with the latter in 2014. While in veterinary school she was the 2014 recipient of both the Robert G. and Karen F. Beach Scholarship (awarded for proficiency in small animal medicine/surgery with an emphasis on felines), and the Abbott Animal Health VECCS Award for Proficiency in Emergency and Critical Care. She has worked in veterinary hospitals since 2003 and has extensive experience in both general practice and emergency medicine. Her areas of interest include dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and emergency medicine.
Though Dr. Livesay originally planned to pursue a research path, her desire to make a more immediate difference in the lives of people and animals led her to pivot to clinical work. She cherishes the opportunity to save lives, both in the short run through emergency medical intervention or over a lifetime via top-notch preventive care.
In addition to being the owner of Dripping Springs Pet Hospital, Dr. Livesay is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association, and a board member of the Okmulgee County Humane Society, with whom she works closely to support and promote animal welfare in our community. Her own pet family consists of two rabbits (Corbin and Dallas), two cats (Gwen and Meow), and four dogs (Spot, Mickey, Olive, and Ivy). At 21 years of age, Ivy is the undisputed matriarch of the family! When she’s not at the clinic or spending time with her fur babies, Dr. Livesay enjoys resin crafting and making jewelry.
