Veterinary medicine has been my passion since I was 3 years old. It was between that and becoming a princess. But my love for animals and their health kept my interest. Growing up I would rescue any and all animals. I also started volunteering at the local Humane Society. I spent as much time as I could gaining experience in the field throughout highschool and college and sacrificing my 20’s. All that hard work and dedication paid off. I have the career of my dream at an amazing animal hospital with the best patients and clients, a great team backing me up, the latest technology at my fingertips and the ability to continue my education. I am truly blessed to be working at Luv-N-Care Animal Hospital.

Dr. Jennifer Lane

DVM

Dr. Lane was raised in Lake Mary, FL and received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine in Harrogate, TN in May 2020. During high school she volunteered at Luv-N-Care during the summer and it was here that her love of animals and their welfare developed into a passion for quality medicine. Now she is returning back to the place where it all started with hopes of becoming the best she can be for our furry family members. She has a dream of one day providing care to a variety of species, in hopes one family would not have to visit multiple veterinary clinics to provide proper care for their furry or feathered friends. Outside the clinic she enjoys spending time with her dogs, Bubba and Kanga, and taking care of her horses (Whisper, Titan, and Joe).

Dr. Iris Vales

DVM

Hometown: Hato Rey, Puerto Rico
Education: The Ohio State University: Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Management;
Doctor in Veterinary Medicine
Ultrasound Certified

Dr. Vales was born in Puerto Rico. She grew up in the urban area of the island. Here she acquired the passion to love and care for the animals of her home at a very young age, which included dogs, rabbits, chickens and roosters. Often, she would travel to visit family in the more rural areas of the island, where she gained exposure to farm animals. It was these childhood experiences along with the guidance and observation of her parents’ trusting relationship with their local veterinarian that would motivate her to pursue her own career in veterinary medicine.

After highschool, Dr. Vales relocated to the United States where she proudly attended The Ohio State University. There, in 2005, she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Wildlife Management and later in 2009 completed her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. As a DVM, Dr. Vales has gained experience while practicing veterinary medicine for communities across multiple states, including Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Puerto Rico. She is very happy to now live in the beautiful state of Florida; and to be a part of a hospital and team that pride themselves on practicing high quality veterinary medicine.
