Dr. Jill Demers
DVM
My dream of becoming a veterinarian began when I was four years old, the moment my parents brought home a dachshund puppy in a strawberry basket. That passion led me to work in a veterinary clinic at age 16, and I never looked back. I went on to study animal sciences at the University of Illinois, where I also earned my DVM.
My husband and I raised our two boys in Naperville, Illinois. Now that they’re grown, we’ve started our empty-nest life in sunny New Smyrna Beach. Our family includes Sammy, a 12-year-old Morkie who loves to nap on the back of the couch, and Izzy, a two-year-old Kentucky Street poodle mix who’s a fantastic dancer and can walk on her hind legs.
When I’m not with my four-legged patients, you can find me enjoying my favorite hobbies. I’m an avid indoor and outdoor gardener and love to spend time on the water kayaking and fishing. I also enjoy reading historical fiction, crocheting, crafting, and cooking for my family and friends. I even started playing the piano as an adult.
