We know your pets are special.
We think their healthcare should be, too. 

Staff Pets
 
While helping to care for your beloved pet, we are often asked about our own furry friends. Many of us practically have our own zoo!  And just like you, we LOVE to show them off! Here are some of our staff members' pets.


 

 
Ramona
Ramona is a french bulldog/Boston Terrier mix belonging to Vet Technician Melissa.  She is a rambunctious young girl, but at times but prefers laying on the couch or working on her tan.  She has never met a person/animal she didn't like.  The staff has nicknamed her "Rhino" due to her tank like body and the way she runs. Ramona also has a feline friend named Bernie- pictures coming soon!


 
 
Bob
This lovable orange kitty lives with our Clinic Supervisor, Outi. He is a curious guy and likes spending time outside on his leash exploring the yard. He also enjoys play time with his siblings whose pictures will be coming soon.





Frankie & Piccolo
Our Practice Manager, Suzette, two adorable furry friends at home!
Frankie, a handsome orange fellow, is almost 5 and enjoys cuddling with his buddies on cold nights. Piccolo, a Rag Doll mix, is also almost 5 and would prefer Chinese noodles and Wheat Thins over fishy cat food any day!

 

 

 
Fin
This gorgeous "Coconut Retriever" belongs to our Surgical Supervisor, Lindsey. Fin is a very active 5 year old who enjoys Sunday drives around Ocean Drive in Newport. He also finds joy in playing with his new little (human) brother, James.

 

 

Savannah

Savannah belongs to one of our boarding assistants, Lindsay. She is a Coconut Retriever from Anguilla. Savannah is very energetic and loves playing with her canine friends! Her favorite thing to do is run off leash, but never goes far from her mom!

 

 

Sherwin & Chewy

Sherwin is a stunning 10 year old cat who belongs to one of our vet techs, Kim. He loves shredding paper and taking long naps. Chewy is a 5 year old Lionhead mix who enjoys throwing his bowl around and playing with his feline brother.

 

 

Echo, Tookie, Matsi

Echo was rescued from a shelter in Tennessee in 2010 by Dave, another of our technicians.  She has an unlimited supply of energy, and loves doing tricks and spending time with her feline friends, Tookie and Matsi.

 


Kenny Powers

Andy, one of our technicians, named his furry friend Kenny Powers, after the lead character on HBO's "Eastbound and Down". He is a 2 year old basset hound/pug mix who enjoys long walks on the beach, not knowing the meaning of personal space, eating, and snoring.

 

 

 

Riley

Riley, owned by our receptionist Danielle, is a 6 month old Golden Retriever, who likes to spend as much time as he can running along the beach, chasing birds and playing on slides. When not enjoying various outdoor activities you can find him playing with his favorite squeaky frog or on the lookout for his arch-nemesis, the vacuum!

 

 

 

Herbie

Herbie is the housemate of one of our techs, Katie. He loves to watch TV by the candlelight. Bloodworms are his favorite treat. He loves flirting with just about any finger that comes along and makes great bubble nests!

 

 

 

Yoshi

Yoshi, a 7 year old Daschund, rules the home of one of our vet techs, Andrew. He enjoys laying in the sun, playing tug-of-war, and getting into the trash. Yoshi has a part-time job protecting rawhides, but normally he just eats them.

 

 

 

Jake

Sarah, one of our vet techs, is the proud owner of this cutie, a 5 year old Labrador Retriever. Jake enjoys eating socks, swimming, hiking, and playing with his friends. He hopes to persuade his mom to get another dog soon, so he can have a live-in playmate!

 

 

 

Dewey

Dewey, a "cavapoo," belongs to one of our veterinarians, Dr. Wirth! This adorable 2 year old pup enjoys chasing squirrels and "playing" with his feline friends, Kiwi and Mango.

 

 

 

Turkey

These fine fellas belong to Becky, our Receptionist Supervisor. Turkey grows his gray ear tufties in the spring and sheds them in the fall.  He insists on kneading your stomach after any meal. He is a friendly, easy going, big fella with the tiniest silent "meow".

 

 

Hannah & Lucy

Katie, one of our technicians, is the proud mother of Hannah and Lucy! Hannah is a 3yr old lab mix who was adopted from a rescue and brought up to NE on a transport from Tennessee. She loves playing with her friends, going on walks in downtown Newport, and taking naps- either in the sun or curled up in as many blankets as possible. Lucy is a 10 year old beauty that Katie just adopted last year. Though she is an older lady she is still a kitten at heart and loves nothing more than to play with her mouse toy or shoe laces (as you are trying to tie them!). And of course, as any cat loves to do, she then curls up and falls asleep.

 

 

Jethro, Noodle & Buddy

Kat, one of our technicians, has quite the variety of pets! Buddy is a lab/shepherd mix rescued from the pound 13 years ago. He likes playing football and running around in the yard. Jet is a 14 year old Quarter Horse who has been Kat's riding pal for 8 years. He is afraid of chipmunks and birds, but loves giving kisses and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. Noodle is the newest addition to the family, and she likes to run around the house and climb into spaces where Kat can't find her!
