‘Tis the Season … for Giving Thanks

Five women, including a dedicated veterinarian, stand smiling on grass in front of a house with a shingled roof and a red wall. They are dressed in colorful dresses and casual wear, with lush greenery in the background.

As veterinary professionals, we followed this career path because of our love for animals. While we primarily focus on cats, dogs, and horses in our practice, we enjoy the companionship and unconditional love that every species offers. We consider ourselves blessed to be able to come to work every day and love what we do, knowing we make a difference for our patients, our pet owners, and our community. 

Thankful for our clients and patients

When people bring their us pets to care for, we consider it an honor to be invited into your life and to share your special bond with your beloved companion. It is by far the most rewarding part of our jobs. Many people believe working in veterinary medicine is all about the animals, but much of this career is also about caring for and connecting with pet owners and families. We love forming close relationships with you and your pet, and consider you part of our Associated Veterinary Medical Center family. 

Thankful for our tight-knit team

All our veterinarians are in the same office, which allows us to collaborate on almost every case. Not only does this provide in-house second opinions on a pet’s puzzling condition, but it also gives us the opportunity to work closely together. Our entire team supports each other, both personally and professionally, through welcoming babies, moving into new homes, celebrating weddings, and even losing loved ones—both human and pet. Our team learns and grows each day—working together to take advantage of each person’s strengths, and to provide optimal care to our patients and their families. 

Thankful for our community

Five women stand closely together, smiling and laughing, like a group of vets sharing tales from their day. They wear colorful outfits; one sports a lace top with a headpiece. The setting is outdoors, near buildings adorned with wooden shingles.

Although we’re sure there are many wonderful places around the world, we’re especially grateful to be in Walla Walla. We believe there is no better community, and we’re honored to be part of it. We are fortunate to be involved with so many wonderful groups and events, from Rotary Club, the Walla Walla Sweets, Community Council, and Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days—just to name a few! What a pleasure it is to be part of such a wonderful area, and we enjoy each and every moment we share.

This season of thanks, there’s nothing we’re more grateful for than being your pet’s veterinary team. Call us for your pet’s every need.
