Dr. Jennifer Denyes:  

Dr. Denyes is a 1995 grad of Purdue University (go Boilermakers)!  She has 2 boys, Nick and Alex.  Dr. Denyes is a HUGE Basset Hound lover, sharing her home (and every other piece of furniture imaginable) with Buster and Penny, both rescues of course!  Since she owns and operates CRASH's LANDING, a non-profit feline rescue and placement center in Grand Rapids (since October 2002), she shares her home with many cats - too numerous to count!  Life is never dull, nor is clothing ever hair free at her home!  She doesn't have a lot of spare time, as working full time at the clinic and rescuing cats is a never-ending job; but Dr. Denyes does enjoy reading, watching TV, and hanging out with her friends, especially her crazy cat-loving volunteers, and her second family, the gals here at Clyde Park!

Dr. Jennifer Forney:

Dr. Forney was born and raised in central Michigan and after completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame, she obtained her veterinary degree from Michigan State University. After practicing for several years in both Georgia and Utah, she once again returned home to Michigan and has been with our clinic since 2017.

Dr. Forney’s veterinary interests are varied but include internal medicine, endocrine (hormonal) diseases, as well as preventative and behavioral medicine. She also has special certification in the practice of Fear Free medicine (this program’s mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets) and is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Outside of work, Dr. Forney enjoys outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and boating with her husband, two young sons and their dog Wally.
