    💛It is with a heavy heart that we share the pas 💛It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of EMMAvet’s namesake. Emma lived to be 14 1/2 years old, 14 of which were with Dr. Jarvinen. Emma had virtually every urgent care need under the sun, from too numerous to count dietary indiscretions (including but not limited to raw pasta, grapes, chocolate, dead bird, entire loaves of bread, pies, sticks of butter, more chocolate, the entire bag of dog food), to minor injuries and wounds, attacked by another dog, bloody diarrhea of unknown cause (but dietary indiscretion highly suspected!), and many others. In the clinic, she was known for getting into the tall skinny trash cans and helping herself to a nap in whatever kennel/cage she could open. In her old age, Emma’s antics continued but were punctuated by much longer naps. At home, she sought out the most comfortable beds or the sunny patches in the yard. Emma will be remembered by some for knowing the command “GO HOME!” for all the times she hopped her fences in search of the most comfortable patch of sunned grass. During vet school, Dr. Jarvinen did agility with Emma to keep Emma’s brain engaged and occupied. Emma suffered from some separation anxiety, which was mostly alleviated when Jaildog came into the family. The two were constant companions. Emma did not suffer, but she leaves her family heartbroken. Our only wish is she knows how much she was loved, as we feel incredibly grateful to have had her for so long. #foreverinourhearts #emmavet

    ⭐️ Meet Kathy! ⭐️ Kathy grew up in South F ⭐️ Meet Kathy! ⭐️ Kathy grew up in South Florida loving the sun, the beach, all outdoors, and of course her family Labrador Retrievers. She attended Florida State University - go Noles! - and graduated with a degree in Risk Management. Married to a recently retired Marine, she has lived all over the east coast and has now settled in Northern VA. Kathy’s passion for animals collided with her career path when she stumbled upon a stray cat while living in New Hampshire. After taking him to the local humane society, she began volunteering walking and training the dogs. From there she was able to turn her volunteering into a full time job and for the next 15 years worked in animal welfare management combining her business background with her passion for helping animals. Most recently, Kathy was a supervisor at a local specialty vet practice where she was able to continue to help animals and the people who love them. In her free time she is very active with a local dog rescue, enjoys visiting local wineries, and watching FSU sports. Kathy lives in Alexandria with her husband Andy and their six rescue dogs - Teenie, Sam, Bruno, Pippi, Patty, and Roscoe (the token non-hound). EMMAvet is thrilled to have Kathy join our team as a Client Service Representative. #emmavet #vetcsr #receptionistweek #lovewhatyoudo #rescue #hounddog

    *THANK YOU* . . I want to take a moment to thank *THANK YOU* . . I want to take a moment to thank our pet owners. Thank you for your patience. We rely heavily on your understanding and compassion, and value your trust and understanding. While our patients are cats and dogs, your Veterinary Care Team is made up of human beings. We can’t always accurately predict a wait time, especially in the urgent care setting when any injured or suffering pet could need immediate help, pushing back treating a stable/non-life-threatening issue. As human beings, we have empathy and compassion for all our patients and their human families. We are doing our best to provide quality care to your pet, as well as the 20-30 others we see in an 8-12 hour day. We can only do so much at one time. The alternative to a wait time is to see fewer patients per day, which means your pet might be the one who doesn’t get treated. . . The veterinary industry has been plagued by one of the highest suicide rates in the country. Your Veterinary Care Team is not immune to negative comments or verbal abuse. We are not immune to one star reviews stating that our “only goal is to make money,” while we stay at work hours after closing to make sure your pet is okay to go home or transfer to another facility. Your Care Team regularly misses holidays, family functions, and beautiful days to go on hikes in order to try and help your cats and dogs. At EMMAvet, the internal goal is to make this veterinary field a little easier on our hearts and souls, so we can continue to do what we love - helping animals. We rely on our pet owners to help with this: your patience, trust, sensitivity, and kindness fuel our ability to go to work each day. Please continue to have patience and understanding - it can literally mean life or death for the people who make up veterinary medicine. Thank you for your kindness. . . With respect and love, Veronica Jarvinen #emmavet #vetlife #bekind #thankyou
