Veterinarian Overview
In Loving Memory of Dr. Jeanette Lubenau 1970-2014: Welcome to our clinic! I am the founding veterinarian of Above & Beyond Pet Care Hospital. We opened our doors January 13, 2004 and we happily moved to our current location and added on the Pet Resort in the summer of 2010.I was born and raised in Alamogordo, NM. When I was a child, I saw a dog get seriously injured. I felt so helpless and didn't know how to help, so in the first grade, I decided I would be a veterinarian. Growing up, I was a proud 1st chair member of the Alamogordo Tiger Band Drum Line in high school, a lifeguard, and a girl scout camp horse "wrangler".With a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, I entered the veterinary world. I put in my hours as a kennel worker and I attended NMSU for my undergraduate degree (Go Aggies!!). After four more years of hard studying, I graduated from Colorado State University Veterinary School in 1994. I originally wanted to be a SeaWorld vet, but after learning how much research is involved with a position like that, I came to Texas thinking I could pursue my career with horses. Ahhh, best laid plans: I ended up in Lubbock working in small animal medicine and wildlife and haven't regretted a moment of it. Animals are the most important thing to me: I want the best for my own pets and in turn, I want the best for all pets.
