    Jaime Shriver, DVM
    Associate Veterinarian

    Dr. Jaime Shriver grew up in Minneapolis and dreamed of being a veterinarian since she was 11 years old!  Her childhood dog Kirby was adorable but sickly so she spent a lot of time with  animal doctors when she was a kid.  She went to the University of Minnesota for undergraduate and veterinary school, graduating in 2010.  She worked in private practice for 5 years after graduation and then spent 7 years working for the Pet Poison Helpline, becoming board certified in toxicology.  She is so happy to be back in private practice working daily with patients and their people.  Her professional interests include cardiology, anesthesia, toxicology, emergency medicine and preventative care.  She lives in Minneapolis with her husband, daughter, Cavalier Spaniel Mix Theodore and spicy cat Jack.  In her spare time she enjoys reading, traveling, spending time with family and attempting to play tennis.
