Dr. Jesse Blades
Also serves: Joplin, Bolivar, +2 more
Dr. Jesse Blades was born and raised in Republic, Missouri, back when it was still a small town surrounded by farmland. Growing up on a working dairy farm, he developed a deep connection to animals early in life—raising Holsteins, goats, chickens, rabbits, and always sharing his home with beloved cats and dogs. That foundation of animal care, combined with the influence of a trusted local veterinarian, led Dr. Blades to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. He earned his DVM from the University of Missouri in 2010 after completing his undergraduate studies at Missouri State University. Over the years, Dr. Blades has built a rich and varied career across multiple facets of veterinary medicine, including dairy and mixed-animal general practice, urgent care, ER, regulatory work with the USDA, and support for local shelters. He also serves in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Captain in the Veterinary Corps, providing care and support both domestically and overseas. No matter where his work takes him, Dr. Blades remains grounded in the values that inspired him as a young farm kid: compassion, community, and the desire to be a steady and helpful presence during life’s most difficult moments. His commitment to end-of-life care comes from this same place—offering peace, dignity, and support to pets and the families who love them. Outside of veterinary work, Dr. Blades enjoys kayaking, fishing, and hands-on projects like dirt bike repair and home improvement. He shares his home with his wife, Amy, and their two teenagers, Lauren and Ethan—along with a lovable cast of pets, including Katrina, an Akbash-Pyrenees guardian dog; Penny the ever-confident Papillon; and Maybell the Tortie cat, who quietly keeps everyone in line.
