Jessica Lyon

Jessica grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, which sparked her interest in animal care from a young age. She has been in the veterinary industry for more than ten years and has developed a particular soft spot for brachycephalic, or squishy-faced breeds. Her experience with these breeds gives her a calm and confident approach when caring for them, especially in hospital or emergency situations.

Some of Jessica’s favourite moments come from small things. A patient leaning in for a cuddle. A dog who was flat the day before suddenly showing interest in food again. A relaxed chat with a client who had walked in anxious. She enjoys being part of a large, skilled team and values the compassion shown across every role in the hospital.

Jessica has worked at Casey and Cranbourne Veterinary Hospital for her entire nursing career. She likes the pace of the clinic and the variety that comes with it. The team work closely together, especially during busy or challenging cases, and there is a shared sense of doing what is best for each patient. Her teammates would describe her as calm and positive, and she brings that steady energy with her into each shift.

When she is not at work, Jessica spends time with her partner, her two kids, her dog, family and friends. Home life is full and lively. She shares it with Archie the Pug, a breed she has always loved.
