Dr. Janelle Fenlason
Dr. Fenlason’s early years were spent abroad as part of a military family before returning to the U.S. to finish high school in Northern Virginia. She then pursued her undergraduate studies at Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. Her passion for veterinary medicine led her to St. George’s University in Grenada, where she enrolled in a unique dual-degree program, earning both a Master’s in Public Health and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Fenlason completed her veterinary education with her final year at North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Janelle always dreamed of having a dog, and her family’s adoption of a Labrador mix named Indiana fulfilled that wish. When it was time to say goodbye due to his battle with bone cancer, Dr. Fenlason chose to have him euthanized at home, ensuring his final moments were peaceful. This experience inspired her to help others provide a loving, stress-free end for their pets.
Dr. Fenlason is dedicated to educating pet owners, offering the same compassionate care she would want for her own animals. She encourages open communication to make every pet’s final moments as peaceful as possible.
Janelle lives with her husband, their children and two pets: Jack, a Rottweiler mix, and Medulla, an opinionated cat. She enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and meeting new people.
Dr. Fenlason is an angel. She came to our home today to help put out dog to rest. All of her communication prior to the appointment was prompt and professional and was done with immense compassion with consideration to our feelings and concerns. She was able to guide us through a painful process when we weren’t sure of what to do. Her softspoken and kind demeanor was just what we all needed. I cannot say enough about her service.”
