Valentine’s Day can be as much fun for pets as it is for humans—as long as dangerous items are kept out of paws’ reach!

A wintery Employee Spotlight on Dr. Vega
Dr. Vega has been part of our phenomenal doctor team at Mountain View since May of 2022. She was born in California, but moved to Maryland at the age of 3. Growing up in the Smithsburg area, her love for animals started at a very early age watching how much her parents treasured their animals. Dr. Vega decided she could do more than just love them as a pet owner, but love and care for them by becoming a Veterinarian.
Originally, she planned on being a mixed animal vet, but changed her mind during her senior year of vet school. Dr. Vega was accepted into an internship program and was able to explore emergency medicine further. She worked at her internship practice VRA for 4yrs, then general practice & emergency medicine in Morgantown WV, before coming home in 2022 with MVAE.
Dr. Vega enjoys all aspects of emergency medicine – from quick uncomplicated cases, to helping critically ill patients get healthy enough to return home. She has a special way of making pet parents feel welcomed and heard, especially when they receive upsetting news.
Dr. Vega recently married her husband Andrew, a very skilled photographer and videographer. Dr. Vega & Andrew share their home with a beautiful rescue dog, Daisy. Daisy is a super spoiled pitbull/american staffy bulldog mix, who loves to model her different beaded collars seasonally or for special holidays.
Some of Dr. Vega’s favorite things to do are walking or hiking with Daisy. Exploring new coffee spots, bakeries and reading. She recently started playing pickle ball with her husband Andrew and fell in love with the sport. Dr. Vega has a very close relationship with her family, often spending time off at her parents home with Daisy and family.
Dr. Vega is a great asset and valuable member of our team. We are thankful she decided to explore emergency veterinary medicine and grateful to have her as part of Mountain View Animal Emergency and our community.

For most the holidays are behind us, but the memories stay with us. Our veterinary emergency facility has been busy, but we wanted to reflect and thank our team. Amongst their dedication to Veteirinary Medicine, they also join in to volunteer time, skills and gifts to the community. This year our team picked angels from the tree & filled needs for those in Washington County that didn't have families to share the holidays with. How giving you were & thankful those residents care givers were when they picked up the packages to distribute is a wonderful holiday memory.
🐾Thank you team MVAE🐾
