Jennifer Scata, DVM, CCRT

Sr. Professional Services Veterinarian, Central Texas Region (TX)

Dr. Jennifer Scata knew from a very young age that she wanted to become a veterinarian. Having grown up with a few pets that suffered life-threatening conditions, she realized what she wanted most was to help animals live long, healthy lives. For the past 20+ years, Dr. Scata has had a diverse career in veterinary medicine. From general practice to shelter medicine in Australia to owning her own rehabilitation practice to working in industry for the past few years, she loves what veterinary medicine has to offer and enjoys connecting with colleagues in the field. Dr. Scata is passionate about rehabilitation therapy—in particular, the treatment of sporting and working dogs so they can get back to doing what they do best.

She has always admired Merck as a company because their values about animal well-being are closely aligned with her own. The fact that Merck Animal Health puts the animal and the veterinarian first is why she loves being part of their team. As a Professional Services Veterinarian, Dr. Scata still pursues her passion of helping animals by educating and training veterinary professionals on the best practices of animal care.
