Mrs. Ashley J. Priddy

Visionary, Chief Culture Officer & Hospital Administrator

The other half of “The Ashleys” dream team is Mrs. Priddy. She received her Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Economics from Baylor University in 2002, and her Doctor of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law in Houston in 2005.

Ashley Johnson Priddy grew up in Granbury Texas with her family, including two of generations of golden retrievers and a couple of quirky kitties. She spent much of her youth playing sports (soccer from kinder to varsity), water sports on the lake, and competing at the state level in scholastic and debate tournaments. Dr. and Mrs. Priddy met through mutual friends as undergraduate students at Baylor University.

She won national awards with Baylor University’s Model United Nations team, including “Best Delegation” award at Harvard University as a freshman and the University of Pennsylvania the same year. As an undergraduate, she earned a place on the team alongside Baylor post-grad students at the national Model UN Conference in New York at the United Nations. In addition to working several part-time jobs while earning her Bachelors in Business (Economics), she studied International Relations and Public Policy, wrote papers and study guides relating to UNICEF, Human Trafficking, and the Eritrean/Ethiopian conflict. As a law student, she clerked for a litigation law firm in downtown Houston and studied abroad in Europe to compare trial systems. Mrs. P took on the new roles of “Army wife” and novice lawyer in central Texas (Ft. Hood) almost simultaneously after graduating law school, just as “Operation Iraqi Freedom” began, and practiced family law and general civil litigation for two years (60+ hour weeks with overflowing caseloads in various district courtrooms in Bell, Coryell, Lampasas and Williamson Counties from CPS cases to international child custody disputes to complex divorces with division of assets divided among international and interstate residents and deployed military).

Mrs. Priddy took a hiatus from the practice of law to accompany her husband to Scotland for vet school, where she helped fellow ex-pats navigate flat leases, paperwork to obtain bank accounts and visas, and did freelance editorial work for a book published by a Ph.D. who taught politics including American history at two Scottish universities. After some amazing adventures traveling the world with Dr. P during their time abroad, she gave birth to their first child in Scotland and second child in Dallas after moving back home.

Mrs. Priddy traded her suits for scrubs, and is now the Director of Operations for Dallas Veterinary Clinic, which has involved every aspect of practice management and beyond…finalizing the practice purchase, logo design, rebranding, hiring talent, OSHA and health services compliance, marketing, advertising, community outreach, finance, payroll, negotiating contracts and designing almost every aspect of our new facility. She also still occasionally assigns herself to kennel duty and answers the phones regularly. Mom, entrepreneur-leader, cancer survivor, perpetual student, worker, wanderer, writer, traveler, observer, champion of the underdog, DIY-er, fixer, old soul, no-nonsense, no pretense, supporter of small businesses, believer in karma. She does some of her best thinking when she sits in the kennel and cuddles a furry friend while pondering the best solutions together.

Dr. Ashley Warren Priddy

BVMS (D.V.M.), MRCVS

Veterinarian / Medical Director / Owner

Dr. Ashley Warren Priddy always knew he would be a veterinarian. He is a rare one who genuinely speaks the language of animals, has a huge heart for helping pets and people, and is always developing his natural intellectual talents to serve his patients and our community better. He is a graduate of the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine in Scotland.

Dr. Priddy was born in Manhattan, NYC and then lived a short while in Washington, D.C. before moving back to his family’s hometown of Dallas when he was a toddler. Dr. Priddy grew up in the Park Cities in Dallas, and some of his fondest memories are with the family dog, Oliver, splashing in Turtle Creek at Lakeside Park. Dr. Priddy is a 3rd-generation Park Cities resident and was named after his grandfather, Ashley H. Priddy, former mayor of Highland Park.

After graduating from Highland Park High School, he attended Baylor University and obtained a degree in history with a minor in business. As an undergraduate, he studied abroad in Africa, living for a short time with a family in a Maasai village in Kenya. Also as an undergraduate, he adopted his first dog, who was an additional inspiration to his lifelong veterinary aspirations. Dr. Priddy met the love of his life (what are the chances, she’s also an Ashley!) through mutual friends at Baylor.

After the events of September 11, he fulfilled a long-time desire to serve his country, inspired by generations of family who served and enlisted in the United States Army. Four years later, after being honorably discharged from the US Army, he was accepted into the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine, home to the most advanced small animal hospital in Europe, which rivals any in the world.

Dr. and Mrs. Priddy traveled around the world during those five years abroad (often with their Golden Retriever, Chloe who moved with them from TX), and he performed 26 weeks of required clinical studies outside of the University’s teaching. He worked with a wide range of animals, including sheep, cattle, horses, poultry, wildlife, and exotics, in addition to small companion animals. In the spring of 2011, he volunteered with Tree of Life for Animals in Rajasthan, India, where he performed surgeries and cared for underprivileged and abandoned animals, ranging from dogs and cats to cattle, monkeys, camels, and goats.

Dr. Priddy is eligible to practice veterinary medicine worldwide, as he is licensed by the North American Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, and is a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (which allows for practice in the United Kingdom, throughout the European Union and Commonwealth countries). Dr. Priddy goes beyond the minimum continuing education requirements set by the boards; he is a member of the Texas Academy of Veterinary Practice and completes over 50 hours of continuing education annually (compared to 15 hrs), often at international conferences (which provide different perspectives on practice and technique). He believes there is always something new to learn or improvements to be made to offer the best standard of veterinary medicine. Dr. Priddy is on the advisory board for Cedar Valley College Veterinary Technology Program, is a member of American Legion Post 453 and also writes veterinary articles for AskNelly.com, a website for women over 50.

Dr. Priddy is a general practitioner who is diligent in regularly referring patients to specialists; his professional interests include internal medicine, cytology, pathology, soft tissue surgeries, and educating clients about their role in animal and human public health-particularly with regard to zoonotic diseases. Dr Priddy’s clients and patients benefit from his extensive international network of veterinarian friends who are specialists in various fields of veterinary medicine, with whom he regularly consults for special cases.

Dr. Priddy enjoys travel, outdoor pursuits, reading, scuba diving, running, and constantly learning new things. He is thrilled to own Dallas Veterinary Clinic, with a brand new state-of-the-art facility in the neighborhood where he grew up and is enjoying working hand in hand with his Ashley, as they put their heart and soul into building the most wonderful local veterinary clinic. He and his wife reside in the Park Cities with their two young children.

Dr. Jennifer Parker

DVM, Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Jennifer Parker is an amazing veterinarian with over 15 years of experience caring for pets and their people in Dallas! Dr. Parker is a Fear Free Certified veterinarian, which aligns with DVC’s philosophy of a calm and comfortable environment where pets feel safe, secure and clients are not as stressed about bringing their pets to the veterinarian!

She grew up in University Park, graduated from Highland Park High School (she and Dr. Priddy were in the same graduating class at HPHS and have been friends for nearly 30 years), has a BS in Zoology with a minor in Classical Civilizations from The University of Texas, and earned her DVM from Texas A&M University (but she’s definitely Longhorn!).

Dr. Parker is dedicated to perpetually furthering and refining her knowledge of veterinary medicine and completes a minimum of 50 hours of continuing education per year (nearly triple the minimum requirement).

When she was just six years old, Jennifer decided she would be a veterinarian, inspired by Dr. Baxter, their family veterinarian! If you were out and about in the Park Cities in the early 1980s, you might have seen her with her cat, Carlisle, taking him for walks in her doll stroller (she was born with a natural ability to earn animals’ trust).

Dr. Parker has traveled the world extensively-a definite perk of her dad being a respected Dallas-based airline executive! Her mom taught government and history and encouraged her daughter’s interest in ancient history. Her favorite professor at UT fostered Dr. Parker’s love of Roman history so much that her cats have been named for Roman emperors ever since! Between undergrad and veterinary school, Dr. Parker was a zookeeper at the Austin Zoo for a year, specializing in big cats (particularly tigers and cougars). She later performed externships in the summers during veterinary school at the Dallas Zoo and Fort Worth Zoo. Ultimately, Dr. Parker decided that her calling was to become a small animal veterinarian, focusing on cats and dogs. She’s definitely a cat whisperer and is certified with the American Association of Feline Practitioners, but canine companions love her just the same! Dr. Parker enjoys spending her time off with her two young children, travel (especially Disney World-pre-pandemic!), sports-especially Longhorn football and Dallas Stars hockey, art, reading and book clubs, and learning new things. Dr. Parker is passionate about educating pet owners and explaining why and how we care for our pets and believes in the power of advanced diagnostics and the valuable insights it gives to our clients so they can make informed decisions about their pets’ health. Our patients, clients, and team are all very lucky to have her!
