Meet Dr. Susan Cannon

Dr. Susan Cannon grew up in East Lansing, Michigan, next door to MSU’s Veterinary facility.   Influenced by the College of Veterinary Medicines annual “Vet-a-Visit” open house, contact with the veterinarians at the College and her lover for animals, Dr. Cannon knew her future was to be caring for animals and helping those who love them.

After graduating from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988, Dr. Cannon moved to the beautiful Upper Peninsula, starting her career in companion animal medicine. In 2002 the opportunity to become a practice owner opened new doors.  That year she and Dr. Jandron established Northern Veterinary Associates.   Thirty-five years later Dr. Cannon still enjoys veterinary medicine and caring for companion animals as a general practitioner.

In June 2023 Dr. Cannon’s role at Northern Veterinary Associates changed as she sold her interest in the practice to Dr. Jandron.  As an associate veterinarian at NVA she is now in a part-time role.  This allows her to pursue her other interests on the small farm she and her husband own.  They maintain a large garden, produce hay for their Clydesdale horses, which Dr. Cannon rides and drives, and keep poultry.  Dr. Cannon also competes in AKC dog agility, obedience and conformation events with her two Belgian Tervuren.
