Our Founders
Dr. Cannon opened City Veterinary Center Oak Lawn in 1999 with the goal of bringing top quality veterinary care to downtown Dallas and helping our city’s rescue groups provide care for homeless and unwanted animals. A second City Vet location on McKinney Avenue was added in 2002 and secured City Vet’s dominant market presence. The practice grew quickly, adding an innovative boarding, spa and dog daycare facility known as The Dog Lofts. Even though Dr. Cannon spends less time practicing and more time managing, the businesses continue to grow under his energy and direction. He and his wife Leah have three daughters, Audrey, Claire and Hope, and one dog, Coconut.

For 10 years he worked for Black & Decker in various sales and marketing roles that included time at their worldwide headquarters as well as two years at their European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. He was responsible for directing marketing efforts for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The final two years of Jay’s corporate career were spent with Newell Rubbermaid marketing IRWIN Industrial Tools and Lenox Industrial Tools to the construction industry. During those two years Jay built and managed a national marketing team responsible for grassroots marketing and demand creation. He is married and has one child, Evie, and a chocolate lab named Lucy.
