Jenn Floyd - Lead Technician and LVT
Jenn Floyd - Lead Technician and LVT

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Jenn Floyd is a native of the Yakima Valley. She was born in Yakima and was raised in Selah. As a child, she was very concerned with saving all creatures, from frogs to mice to dogs and cats. But it was finding one puppy she named Savannah that really convinced Jenn that she wanted to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Savannah had had a rubber band placed around her tail, probably in an attempt to dock her tail. Jenn ended up keeping Savannah and treating her tail. She found that nursing Savannah back to health was the career she wanted to pursue.

Jenn found becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician was very convenient since Yakima Valley Community College had a program. So she completed her prerequisites and applied, and was accepted to the LVT program at the community college. After two more years, Jenn graduated as an LVT and joined the animal health care team at Terrace Heights Family Pet Clinic. Jenn nurses all her patients just as if they were her own. Her day can include performing dentals, taking blood work, assisting in surgery, and monitoring patients.

Jenn’s family includes her parents and her older brother’s family, and her little four-legged furry family. The 5 dogs and 3 cats all have their own personalities, and Jenn cherishes each one of them. All you have to do is ask them.

During good weather, you can find Jenn camping with her family or friends. She enjoys movies, concerts, and especially visiting her niece.

B.K. (Barn Kitty) - Hospital Cat

Clinic Kitty Extraordinaire, Feline Executive Officer (FEO), Expert Snack, Treat, and Tidbit Taster (EST & TT), Best Spots for Napping expert (BSN)

I’m B.K., which is stands for Barn Kitty since I was rescued from a barn as a kitten. As a small kitten, I decided that being an outdoor kitty was not for me. I was not fond of the outdoor elements, especially the cold snow, and there were many scary animals like coyotes. I decided that being an indoor kitty was the best fit for my future goals of taking long naps and eating snacks. However, my decision for my future career choice almost ended abruptly when I severely injured my leg. I was unable to run away from predators and couldn’t get to my food or water. I had serious doubts that I might survive to accomplish my indoor kitty goals for a very brief minute. Luckily for me, Dr. Ann rescued me and brought me to Terrace Heights Family Pet Clinic, where I was able to have my leg examined and treated. I was back to leaping, jumping, and running around in no time at all.

It became apparent that my special skills were a valued addition to the team, and I was invited to become the FEO which I happily accepted. Since then, I have worked hard to become an expert in everything napping and treat related. I’m the resident Expert Snack, Treat, and Tidbit Taster, as well as the Best Spots for Napping expert (BSN). I love being a member of the THFPC family and greatly enjoy my role as FEO, Clinic Kitty Extraordinaire, resident BSN, and EST & TT.

My hobbies include my daily fetching regiment and hanging out with my two best pup pals Izzy and Maki. We enjoy napping, eating snacks, taste tasting treats and giving professional feedback on various cookies and tidbits. My expertise and knowledge of everything treat, tidbit and snack related is very extensive, but I always welcome any new tidbits, treats, and snacks to try.
