Dr. Brian Jones - Veterinarian

Veterinarian
Dr. Jones was born in Plano, Texas, and later moved to Oklahoma, where he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Central Oklahoma. He went on to earn his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University in 2004 — Go Pokes!

He began his career in one of Oklahoma’s largest emergency veterinary hospitals, where six years of fast-paced emergency and critical care helped shape his calm, confident, and compassionate approach to medicine. In 2010, Dr. Jones purchased Woodlake Animal Hospital, proudly serving as owner and hospital director for 15 years. During that time, he also founded Once Frozen Canine Reproductive Services, allowing him to expand his skills and commitment to advanced breeding and reproductive care.

With a strong focus in canine reproductive medicine, Dr. Jones is PennHIP certified, a member of the Zoetis Reproductive Network, and experienced in fertility evaluations, chilled and frozen semen management, and reproductive planning for breeders. He values teamwork with owners and believes in clear, open communication to guide pets through every stage of life.

In 2025, Dr. Jones chose to relocate to Northwest Arkansas to be closer to his loving partner, Melinda, settling into Pineville, Missouri. He is excited to continue his passion for high-quality veterinary care as part of the team at Rose Veterinary Clinic, where he enjoys building meaningful relationships with pets and the families who care for them.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Jones is an outdoor enthusiast who loves trail running, CrossFit, Spartan races, and woodworking. At home, he shares life with Peanut, his much-loved exotic bully rescue.
