Employee Spotlight! 📣

Next up, Dr Berry!!🍓🫐

She has been involved in veterinary medicine since 2014. After attending veterinary school in London, she returned home to begin her amazing career! Dr Berry has been practicing as a veterinarian for the past seven years, with a particular interest in surgery. Her goal is to always provide compassionate, personalized care to every patient while making their visits as comfortable and positive as possible. She believes a little extra love, plenty of snuggles, pets, and treats go a long way!❤️
Outside of work, she enjoys reading (she’s a big Harry Potter fan!), spending time outdoors, and making memories with her husband and son. One of her favorite things to do is explore new places with her family and her handsome husky, Koda. She and her family love taking weekend getaways and recently brought her son to his first concert, Ed Sheeran! Dr Berry has a pretty full house with her own little menagerie, including a horse, three dogs, a cat, and twelve chickens. Needless to say, there's never a dull moment! 🐓🐴

This holiday season, she is thankful for her husband, her son and their entire family (and friends that became family!)
Her favorite thanksgiving dish is the stuffing and rolls - She is also a sides and dessert type of girl! 🍰

Dr. Berry brings so much love, laughter, and joy to our hospital, and we are beyond grateful to have her as part of our work family! Our very own scalpel queen! 💗

If you love her as much as we do, be sure to give her a shoutout! We love and appreciate her more than words can say and are so lucky to have her on our team! 🩺💕

Fun fact Wednesday!

Cats often prefer to have their water away from their food because they instinctively want to avoid potential contamination! Cats also have an incredibly strong sense of smell, and the strong odor of food near their water bowl can make drinking less appealing.

Eating and drinking can put cats in a vulnerable position, so it's always recommended to keep their food and water bowls separated and away from tight corners or walls. Regularly cleaning their bowls is also important for maintaining their health!

See you next week for another fun fact! 🐱

Employee Spotlight!
This month we will be focusing on our amazing doctors!

First up, Dr Jones!
The woman who started it all! Dr Jones founded our hospital 15 years ago and we would not be where we are today without her!

Some things you may not know about Dr Jones:
She has her own assortment of animals right at home including chickens (lots of them) 2 amazing dogs named Dugan and Apple, three cats named Lupin, Aurora and Seamus, and two BEAUTIFUL horses named Beau and Rembrandt. No matter where she goes, she is always surrounded by animals! When she is not at work being an amazing doctor or hanging out with her animals, you can catch her traveling to exotic places or at the beach! She LOVES to explore and take in all the beauty and nature outside of the vet world! Dr Jones also went to school in Ireland (so we see where the explorer in her came from!) After 23 years in veterinary medicine, she is still passionate about learning new things, teaching those around her, and standing up for our four legged friends that do not have a voice!

One more fun fact about her for this holiday season, her favorite Thanksgiving dish is PUMPKIN PIE! Yummy!

If you see her in the clinic or out and about, give Dr Jones a shoutout! We appreciate her so much and are very thankful for everything she does for us!

When I opened Woodlake Animal Hospital in 2011, one of my first trips was to Richmond Animal League, where I adopted two kittens—Furgal and his sister, Fiona. They were meant to be clinic cats, but Furgal quickly became so much more.

He spent his entire life at Woodlake, growing up alongside the practice. He greeted clients, supervised the staff, found every sunny spot for a nap, and charmed countless visitors over the years. For many families, a trip to WAH wasn't complete without seeing Furgal. He wasn't "just the clinic cat." He was a coworker, a mascot, a welcoming committee, and a beloved friend.

Furgal watched Woodlake Animal Hospital grow from an empty building into a thriving practice filled with laughter, tears, healing, and love. He was there through every milestone, every challenge, and every celebration. It is impossible to imagine the hospital without picturing him somewhere in the background, quietly keeping watch.

He was a constant through every chapter of the hospital's story and a quiet source of comfort on both the best and hardest days. To our team, our clients, and to me, he wasn't just the clinic cat—he was family.

The clinic feels a little quieter. We will miss the familiar sight of him making his rounds, demanding attention on his own schedule, and reminding us that sometimes the best medicine is simply being present

Thank you, Furgal, for fifteen wonderful years of companionship, comfort, and unconditional love. You helped make Woodlake Animal Hospital feel like home, and you will forever be part of our story.

Run free, sweet boy. You will be deeply missed and always loved.
