Mountain View Veterinary Hospital
Small animal veterinary hospital serving the greater Lacey, WA communities.
We had a fun puppy appointment today! All 6 puppies were very well behaved, they are healthy, and super cute! Of course, they were all tuckered out from their big day at the vet. They got lots of snuggles from the staff. 💗
Mountain View Veterinary Hospital is thrilled to honor Dr. Rhonda Snyder as our Employee of the Month. As our medical director and one of our dedicated managers, Dr. Snyder consistently demonstrates extraordinary kindness and care towards both our cherished patients and our entire team. Her unwavering commitment shines through in her willingness to come in on her days off during critical medical emergencies and to stay late for unscheduled surgeries. Furthermore, her invaluable veterinary knowledge serves as a cornerstone of our practice. She generously shares her expert advice on all aspects of patient care with both staff and clients, empowering everyone to make the most informed decisions for their beloved pets. Dr. Snyder has also been pivotal in ensuring a smooth transition for our newest doctors, offering crucial guidance on complex cases and surgeries, and acting as a respected professional mentor. Simultaneously, she is actively involved in implementing changes at the hospital to ensure our practices remain cutting-edge and continue to improve. Balancing these significant responsibilities with her role as a loving caregiver for her husband, Jack, Dr. Snyder's dedication to Mountain View Veterinary Hospital, its staff, and our patients is truly remarkable.![]()
Dr. Snyder's connection to Mountain View Veterinary Hospital runs deep. A proud graduate of Washington State University, she and her family established the hospital in 1993, creating not just a veterinary practice but also their family home. From its humble beginnings with Dr. Snyder as the sole veterinarian and her husband Jack as her assistant, the hospital has flourished into a vibrant and growing practice, now encompassing five additional doctors and an exceptional team of licensed technicians, assistants, and receptionists. Her passion for animals extends beyond her professional duties, as she shares her life with her own furry companions, including her beloved flat-coat retrievers, Grimm and Spirit, and several cats.![]()
The entire staff extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Snyder for her constant support and unwavering presence, particularly during personal challenges when their own pets require care. We also want to acknowledge the profound impact she has had on our professional lives. Quite simply, Mountain View Veterinary Hospital would not be the thriving practice it is today without Dr. Snyder's initial vision, her tireless dedication in building it from the ground up, and her continued leadership. She is an indispensable resource, the heart of our hospital, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her at the helm.
