Janet
Practice Manager
Janet’s love for animals started at a very early age which has led to her having 18 years’ experience in the animal industry. She grew up in Morris Township and then attended Fairleigh Dickinson University. Janet double-majored in Graphic Design and Fine Arts with a minor in Art History. While attending college, Janet worked at Morris Animal Inn and continued to work there after she graduated. Her passion for animal care led her to create a Pet Wellness program that Morris Animal Inn still uses today. Janet then decided to pursue the vet industry to broaden her knowledge of pet health and provide daily customer service to pet owners. Janet currently resides in Hopatcong with her husband, David, and English Cocker Spaniel, Cloudy. In Janet’s spare time she likes to visit wineries, breweries and enjoys traveling.

In Remembrance
Rocky was part of the family at Byram Animal Hospital for many years. When Rocky wasn’t up front greeting clients at the desk, you could usually find Rocky somewhere cozy and sleeping. Rocky loved to spend time outside soaking up the sunshine, getting his treats, ALL meal times, belly rubs and snuggling under blankets.
