Dr. Jennifer Periat graduated from MSU (DVM and BS in zoology). Having grown up owning a variety of pets and being quite active in 4-H, she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age. Dr. Periat enjoys all types of animals and shares her home with many! She moved to the Clinton Twp area to work at Parkway because of the wide variety of patients and wonderful clients.

When not at work, Dr. Periat is still usually surrounded
by animals, spending a lot of time doing public education about the care and conservation of exotic species, taking classes with her dogs and doing rescue work. She has been a very active member of the Michigan Society of Herpetologists, and now serves on the Board of Directors and as secretary. Other hobbies include spending time with family and friends, drawing and painting, movies and travel.
