Concerning trend! The doctors at SEVH have noted a decrease in preventative care, and an increase in emergencies. We know that the reasons for this are multifactorial, but we want to help!

If you bring your animal up to date on preventative care with SEVH in the month of May, we will provide a $25 credit to your account to use at your next visit. So, what exactly qualifies as preventative care? This usually includes vaccines, dental work, and parasite prevention. For those that are already up to date with their animals preventative care, but have another appointment (sports medicine etc) in May, give the doc a heads up, and they will also provide you a $25 credit.! For those of you with multiple animals, we will honor this for each animal brought up to date.

(Also, did you know that we have a program already in place that gives a $50 credit for emergencies for patients that are up to date?)

We feel so strongly about our preventative care as it can really help prevent some emergencies from happening (which will save you money)! Call us today at 360-779-5557 to get an appointment scheduled to take advantage of this offer.

*This does apply only to preventative care performed by SEVH doctors.*

( Featuring the cutest little foal, Ruffles, giving kisses to Dr. Dzierzak last week😍Her mom, Cheeto, is so proud of her new baby!)

ITS NATIONAL VETERINARY CSR APPRECIATION WEEK! We can't thank Emma, Christina and Megan enough for all that they do!

You may be asking, what is it that Veterianry CSR's do, though? Well, Steve is here to answer that for you!

A Veterinary CSR/Receptionist does the administrative tasks in a vet office. Their responsibilities include checking in pets at the front desk, getting information from owners, and maintaining pet records. That's not all though! They also Schedule appointments, send invoices and process payments, prepare prescriptions and explain instructions, try to keep the doctor's appointments on track and reach out to clients when the doctor is running behind, help get emergencies seen ASAP with the first doctor available, reach out to doctors with your questions to ensure you get the most accurate information, and more!

They really are the face of all veterinary hospitals, including ours (we are a bit biased, but we think we have the best ones out there)!

Thank you to our Veterinary CSR's and all of the other Veterinary CSR's out there for all that you do!

❤️

This week, we are celebrating our CSRs(Client Service Represenatives) Emma, Christina, and Megan!

The communication & care they provide is invaluable! These unsung heroes do much more than answer the phone. Our (and all) receptionist team(s) are your first and last point of contact, meaning they’re in charge of keeping our hospital running and ensuring that your animals get the care they need in a timely fashion, including ERs!

To all the hard working, always smiling, and truely appreciated veterinary receptionists out there, at our clinic and all others, THANK YOU!!!!! The veterinary teams can't do what we do every day without you!!!

ATTENTION! We are on the hunt again for housing for our veterinary interns/ externs for about 1-2 weeks at a time within 20 mins of our clinic! We have been reached out by a few people in the past, but we would love to revisit this since it has been over 7 months since our last post!

We are proud to be able to offer interns and externs the ability to learn about equine and farm animals not only to complete their extern/internships, but also to gain more interest in becoming large animal veterinarians (We can always use more)! This program is incredibly important to us and our team is so happy to be a teaching hospital for our soon to be vets ❤

If you have a spare room, mother-in-law cottage, apartment, etc. that might be available for our future interns please give reach out to [email protected] to be added to our intern housing list!

It's baby season here at Sound and our team was SWOONING over this Nigerian Dwarf Goat kid last week😍😍 (How could you not though?!)

Theodore came with his owners for a visit as his horse brothers and sisters got an exam done. Our CSR's and some of our techs kept him company and made sure he got all the cuddles while Dr. Mackenzie Adams and her tech, Alicia, were hard at work with making sure the horses were taken care of from nose to tail.🐴🥰

Also, if you didn't already know, if you have a pregnant farm animal or horse, Dr. Beau Green is here and ready to help you throughout the process! Of course, if you have any emergency with any of your horses or farm animals, our team is ready to help! Give us a call at 360-779-5557 today to schedule an appointment for repro, wellness, or if you have any concerns with your horse or farm animal (ER available 24/7/365)!

Our Story

Sound Equine is Western Puget Sound’s only full service equine hospital.

Since acquisition of the practice in 2005, Dr. Hills has made consistent efforts to improve and modernize both the facility and the services offered to our clients which includes the addition our other veterinarians Dr. Claire Smith and Dr. Beau Green.

We are focused on the ongoing education of our staff and clients to deliver coordinated, progressive equine and small animal care.

Dr. Hills spent the first 3 years of his veterinary career working on small animals before he transitioned to equine work in the late 1990’s. Dr. Hills has enjoyed occasional small animal work on a pro-bono basis for the Kitsap Humane Society for almost 10 years.

After seriously considering making a career of riding, Dr. Smith started pre-veterinary course work in California and then enrolled in veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin. In addition to the regular curriculum, she completed nine externships at some of the top equine hospitals and practices in the country.

Following graduation Dr. Smith accepted a surgical and medical internship at Oregon’s Willamette Valley Equine Hospital where she gained additional experience in anesthesia, pain control, surgery, hospitalization of critically ill patients, neurologic cases, emergency and trauma medicine, neonatal foal care, imaging, and other areas of modern equine veterinary practice. She has been with Sound Equine since 2010.

Dr. Green spent his internship at Bend Equine Medical Center working in mixed practice doing regular small animal appointments. Dr. Green has a true affinity with cats and will help to ensure their visits are as comfortable as possible.

Our goal is to provide the same level of excellent care and service to our small animal patients that our equine clients have come to expect.

Our clinic facility is well equipped with digital radiography and ultrasound. Our in-house lab will allow same day results on most of our routine lab tests. We also provide micro-chipping for pet identification. Our clinic offers general surgery and dental care with a focus on pet comfort and safety.
