We’re excited to recognize Ali as our August Employee of the Month! Known for her upbeat, hard-working attitude, Ali is described by her coworkers as “amazing” and “well deserving” of this honor. She treats every patient and team member with kindness and is always willing to go the extra mile — even staying late to help the closing team when needed.

Ali grew up in Ferndale, Washington, and moved to Olympia in 2024, joining Mountain View shortly after as a veterinary assistant. Her lifelong love of animals began with a family full of pets and grandparents who owned a dairy farm. Now, she loves advocating for animals’ health since they can’t speak for themselves and hopes to attend veterinary college in the future. Ali enjoys working at Mountain View because of the supportive, family-like atmosphere. Outside of work, she spends her time outdoors hiking or camping with her family dog, cooking and baking at home. Ali is owned by her cat, Calypso.

August is National Dog Month!

National Dog Month was created to recognize the important role dogs play in our lives, not just as pets, but as family.

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month

Cats are curious by nature, and summertime makes it easier for them to sneak outside. Here's how to prevent your cat from getting lost — and what to do if they do slip away.

Start with prevention:
• Stick to a routine: Cats are creatures of habit and more likely to return if mealtimes are consistent.
• Keep your cat indoors at night: This is when they’re more likely to roam or get into trouble.
• Make sure they have ID: Even indoor-only cats should wear a breakaway collar with ID tags or be microchipped with current contact info. One open door or window is all it takes for them to slip out.

What if your cat goes missing?
• Start inside: Cats often hide in quiet, dark places. Check closets, behind furniture, and under beds.
• Search nearby: Look under porches, in bushes, garages, sheds, and even in trees.
• Use their sense of smell: Place their litter box, bedding, or a favorite blanket outside to help guide them home.
• Post and print: Put up flyers in your neighborhood and post on online platforms like Nextdoor or local lost pet groups.

Keeping these tips in mind can help bring your cat home safely — or prevent them from going missing in the first place.

July 22 is AAHA Accredited Hospital Day!
Have you ever noticed this on the front of our building? This means that we are AAHA accredited.
Did you know that animal hospitals aren’t required to be accredited, unlike human hospitals? At Mountain View Veterinary Hospital, we choose to go above and beyond by being AAHA accredited.

What does that mean? It means we voluntarily meet or exceed over 900 rigorous standards covering patient care, safety, cleanliness, pain management, surgery, and more. Only about 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada achieve this accreditation.

Think of it like choosing a top-rated hotel. Any hotel can open its doors, but only those that meet the highest standards earn top ratings from independent organizations. AAHA accreditation is our "5-star rating" for veterinary care.

We’re proud to provide this level of exceptional, consistent care to every pet we see. Thank you for trusting us with your furry family members — today and every day.

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month

Here are some important ways to keep your dog safe and help ensure a quick reunion if they do get lost:

Train a strong recall
Teaching your dog to come when called is one of the most important skills you can work on. Many dogs become easily distracted or frightened and may not return without reliable training. Practice this regularly in different environments to help keep your dog safe.

Use proper identification: license, tags, and microchip
Make sure your dog is registered with your local animal services and always wears their license tag. Include an ID tag with their name and your current phone number on their collar. This is often the fastest way for someone to contact you directly if your dog is found.
Microchips are also critical. They are the first thing shelters and veterinarians look for when a lost dog is brought in. Just remember to keep your contact information up to date with the microchip registry.

Bring familiar scents when searching
If your dog does get lost, bring along strong, familiar scents like their favorite treats, food, toys, or a blanket. These can help lure them back and make them feel safe enough to approach.

Tailor your search to your dog’s personality
If your dog likes people, focus on busy areas such as parks, popular walking paths, and in town.

If your dog is shy or scared, check quieter areas like abandoned buildings, quiet streets, fields, sheltered spots, or behind trees and structures. Also look along the routes they might take to try to find their way home.

Post online
Facebook groups, and apps like Nextdoor alerts others to be on the lookout.

A few simple steps can make a big difference in preventing a lost dog and bringing them home safely.
