This week is Veterinary Receptionist Week! We would like to highlight our wonderful receptionists here at AHOP. We’ve asked our receptionist to share a bit about themselves!

Get to know Cynthia!

How long have you been working with our team?
Since December, 2022

What pets do you have?
7 cats, all are rescues. With 5 seniors, we have several chronic health conditions under our roof. We give out 8 different prescriptions, some 3 times a day! Two of the cats are on special diets, so mealtimes are fun!

What do you love most about working as veterinary receptionist?
I love talking to people about their pets and getting sweet (and sometimes slobbery) kisses! There is nothing more special than a dog bouncing into the clinic with a big smile, because they remember you. Whether it be an emergency foreign body surgery, or a routine neuter I find it all fascinating and enjoy doing whatever I can to help.

What inspired you to have a career in vet medicine?
I've worked with rescue cats for 35 years, and I want to make a difference in the lives of every pet I meet. In veterinary medicine I can love and care for more fur babies in need than I ever could on my own.

What is the most rewarding part of your role?
When a pet parent tells me we healed their pet! It can be very rewarding to see the bright light shine in a pet's eyes when they feel better. Or when you get to watch them grow from tiny ones getting their first shots to giving them all the love and respect as seniors.

One fun fact about you!
I have a 3 1/2 octave range, and I sing everything from opera to country. I've even sung in Swahili!

Get to know Trystann!

How long have you been working with our team?
I have been working at AHOP a year come July.

What pets do you have?
I have two cats named Boogie and Bandit, they are my perfect angel babies and I love them so much.

What do you love most about working as veterinary receptionist?
There are so many things, it’s very fulfilling work! I enjoy seeing all sides of the veterinary world. I enjoy meeting new people and their wonderful pets every day. I love to problem solve and fill any gaps between pet parents and the doctor. I am fascinated by medicine and the art of healing, I learn so much working here.

What inspired you to have a career in vet medicine?
Like everyone else, Ive had a love of animals since a very young age. It’s been a special interest all my life that has never gone away. I thought about my life and what I wanted do for a career, and veterinary medicine was the natural choice for me. I truly couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

What is the most rewarding part of your role?
For me, its seeing pets through all stages of their life. Whether it’s the excitement of a new puppy, routine visits for healthy pets or seniors coming in for visits, I admire the consistent love for all pets through the entirety of their life.

What is a fun fact about you?
Ive been a vegetarian since I was 18!

April is not just another month—it's Heartworm Awareness Month! As responsible pet owners, it's our duty to prioritize our pets' health and well-being year-round.

This week we would like to spotlight our new veterinary student who is currently working on her externship with our team! Please welcome Noemi to our practice for the next month! To get to know her better we asked her a few interview questions below. Please join us in welcoming us to our practice! 🐶🐾🤍

Can you please introduce yourself?

My name is Noemi Boucher, and I was born and raised in Richland, Washington. I am so excited to be back in Washington for my clinical externships!

Where are you currently in school and when are you set to graduate?

I attend the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine as part of their second graduating class - I am set to graduate in August of 2024. I will be practicing in Arizona for a few years before coming back to Washington state to settle down and serve the community in the state I grew up in.

Do you have any pets of your own, if not what is your favorite animal?

I have a Dutch Shepherd and 2 Pugs!

What makes you passionate about veterinary medicine?

Veterinary Medicine is such a special community to be a part of. The human-animal bond is changing and families are seeking more and more advanced medical care for their animals. Along with this, the field of veterinary medicine is seeing such amazing advancements in diagnostics, surgery, medications and treatments. All this accumulates to an improvement in the quality of care we can provide for our clients, and I am so excited to be a part of it. I am passionate about working together with clients and educating families about their pets and helping them take control of their pets' care. I think, as a pet owner myself, it is so important to understand the "why" and the impact it will have on a pet's quality of life, because it helps us as owners make better decisions for our pets.

What inspired you to study veterinary medicine and what would you say to anyone aspiring to be a veterinarian?

After I received my undergraduate degree from WSU, I worked at a clinic in Olympia, WA for a few years. I worked really closely with a new graduate veterinarian who, thanks to her guidance, taught me so much about the medical and communication aspects of veterinary medicine. While working with her, I learned to love the conversations with our clients - I loved leaving an appointment knowing that the client learned something new that will help them improve the quality of care they were providing for their pet. I would tell any aspiring veterinarian to work in the field first! Whether it be as a receptionist, an assistant, a technician, etc. it is so important to understand the role of each team member and learn what you like prior to making a big decision like attending veterinary school. I also would tell them to try to get experience with all types of different animals.

What are you looking forward to most when you graduate?

I am so excited to start seeing my own patients and clients and creating close veterinary-client-patient relationships.

Happy national pet day to all our furry friends!! Post below a picture of your pet! We’d love to see them!! 😍🐾🐶😸

Lilies are common during the spring months, gracing flower beds and spring bouquets with their lovely colors. However, if your cat ingests even a small amount of a plant leaf or flower petal, licks pollen grains off their fur while grooming, or drinks the water from a bouquet vase containing lilies, they can develop fatal kidney failure.

The most dangerous lilies for cats include:
💐 Asiatic lily (including hybrids)
💐 Daylily
💐 Easter lily
💐 Japanese Show lily
💐 Oriental lily
💐 Rubrum lily
💐 Stargazer lily
💐 Tiger lily
💐 Wood lily
💐 Other “lily” plants such as lily-of-the-valley and the gloriosa lily, or flame lily, can also cause serious health problems if ingested by cats or dogs.
