Let’s talk respiratory! As cases of canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) are reported, in the news headlines and research is ongoing, we wanted to assure our clients that our team is trained in contagious disease containment and follow protocols to help limit exposure to keep our 4 legged friends as safe as possible.
🐾 No current cases have been reported in the area but we always want to be prepared and keep our clients informed.
🐾 Symptoms may include (but aren’t limited to) acute coughing, sneezing, nasal and eye discharge, fever, anorexia and lethargy. Some mild cases have been reported to be self-limiting without treatment while severe cases may need supportive treatment or hospitalization.
🐾 As experts continue to work to identify the pathogen or virus causing CIRD, prevention and protection is the best course of action. Dogs that are at highest risk of exposure are through close interaction with other dogs during boarding, daycares, parks and groomers. Ensuring your dog is up to date on vaccinations, limiting travel and keeping them away from unfamiliar dogs when possible is recommended.
As with any medical concern, don’t hesitate to contact us, we are here to help!

Fun Fact - I am dedicated to becoming a licensed veterinary technician and am half way through my Penn Foster Program!

I try not to bring home stray animals or wildlife but I stepped up last year to take care of a kitten that needed help. A small orange “female” kitten was found with injuries and a bad upper respiratory infection so I named her Pumpkin and took her home to get her healthy until a new home was found for her. I soon discovered Pumpkin was a male 😳 and renamed him Theo. Theo quickly found a special place in my heart and my home, this is his forever home. He is almost a year old now and loves to go exploring with his brother kitties. Although, his favorite thing to do is bring home snakes and let them loose in the garage!

Fun fact - I have a new kitten named Toasty! My 6 year old named her after toast, I didn’t question why. 🙂

I have a daily reminder at home (in the form of a dog🐾) of why I love doing what I do. 10 years ago a stray puppy was brought in and dropped off, she needed veterinary care for severe injuries and a broken leg. That’s how Hawksly came into our lives! Her favorite thing to do now at her age is sleep of course. You can hear her snoring from across the house, snuggled up with Toasty (whenever Toasty isn’t causing chaos as kittens do).

Fun Fact - I like to play soccer.

My most memorable moments in my career are assisting with c-sections, bringing puppies and kittens into the world! I’ve only helped with one or two cat c-sections since they are less common.

Fun Fact - In high school I ran for Queen of the Elma Slug Festival. I won! Yes, you read that right. I’m royalty. Slug Queen! 🤣 The fun part was that I met a lot of amazing people during that time, including a couple astronauts from NASA!

I have been working in the veterinary field for 36 years. I guess you could say this is what I was born to do! I have always been the person who tries to feed them, fix them, or try and find their home if they are lost. Sometimes this is not the brightest idea! Just ask the adult muskrat I trapped in a laundry basket in an attempt to get him back to his “home” at the river. I’m not sure who was more frightened! The muskrat who was scrambling and running around the laundry basket or me who was screeching and running through the pasture towards the river with a snarling muskrat in a basket!

Veterinary Technician Week is almost over but we have more wonderful people to recognize!

🎉Celebrating: Jenny, Veterinary Assistant

Fun fact: I wear fun socks every day to work. Today is watermelons!

I believe the Raintree team makes the workplace enjoyable. However, seeing our patients walk out that door knowing they are leaving better than when they came in is such a rewarding feeling. It betters their quality of life for both our patients and clients as they leave Raintree with a peace of mind. Without our clients our work and dedication would be senseless. The hard work starts when our patients go home and it’s up to their owners to continue the care for promotion of healing and health. Thank all of you for the work you put in to make our jobs worth it.

I really knew I wanted to work with animals at a young age. I Loved being around the barn at my friends house. I cleaned horse stalls, and dog sat when I was around 12.
In high-school I volunteered at PAWS and Hoquiam Animal Control. My Senior year I did my senior project on Animal Cruelty.
After graduating in 2004. I started working at Olympic Veterinary in Aberdeen.
I love the people I work with and helping animals.

Fun fact - my favorite movie is Lilo and Stitch.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life.
As a kid I had a habit of bringing home animals… I had a Guinea pig, rabbit and lizard (all at different times). We had family dogs. I raised and used to show sheep. I also had hermit crabs, water snails and fish. I actually had a big Angel fish named Lovey. She was pretty cool but mean because Angel fish aren’t nice.
