About
We have moved!
If you haven’t visited yet, we are fully moved into our new clinic at 2957 Taylor Rd, Oak Harbor. Keep an eye out for a notice about our upcoming holiday open house!
When you arrive:
Please check in at the front office. If arriving more than 10 minutes ahead of your appointment, please wait in your car and we will let you know when we are ready!
All animals must be on a leash or in a pet carrier. If you forgot a leash, let the front desk know! If your dog needs to take a walk before the appointment, please use the lawn behind the clinic as our front lawn is newly seeded and fragile. Dog bags and a trash can are located at the front door for your convenience.
Our CWVS Staff
Dr. Ana Kidder
As a native Whidbey Islander, Dr. Kidder is happy to be settled back at home. A 2019 graduate of Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Kidder bought the practice in January 2022. She has a special interest in equine preventative care (especially dental health!) and loves supporting the agricultural heritage of Whidbey Island. Although she planned to practice large animal medicine, she enjoys the diversity that mixed animal medicine brings to the practice every day! When not at the office, she can be found at home in her garden or working on projects with her husband Clint, Greta their golden retriever, Pickles the cat, George her trail pony, Bramble the miniature horse, Rikki the miniature donkey, Martha her retired milk cow, two pet geese, a flock of hens and two old sheep.
Dr. Seirra Seay
Dr. Seay joined the team in June 2023. She is from Fayetteville, West Virginia. Before getting her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Mississippi State University, she received a bachelor’s degree in biology from West Virginia University Institute of Technology. She grew up riding and showing horses, primarily hunter jumper. Throughout her high school and undergraduate education, she worked as a barn manager at a horseback trail guide service. Her top interests in veterinary medicine include the variety of species that mixed animal medicine brings and soft tissue surgery! While not at work, Dr. Seay enjoys camping with her husband Terry, Stella the cholocate lab, Sheriff a Mississippi Mutt, and Timber the cat (yes, the cat also goes camping). (Also, to answer the most-asked question, Seay is pronounced “sea” like the ocean.)
Dr. Robert Moody
Dr. Moody retired but we are excited for him to be able to pursue his hobbies, spend time with family, and build a new home in Missouri. We are thankful for his hard work over the years growing a small one-doctor mobile practice into what we have today.
Allison, LVT
Allison Gleason is our Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT). Allison is originally from Pennsylvania and came to Whidbey as a proud Navy wife. Following her tour with the Navy she graduated with an associate in science degree from Sanford Brown College in Jacksonville, FL. She came from a veterinary practice in Florida with three years’ experience, before moving to Whidbey and joining our clinic. She likes to spend quality time running with her dog Leo or snuggling with her cat, Artie.
Jenny
Jenny worked for Dr. Moody many years ago and in 2021 came back to help as one of our assistants. Between years as a 4H leader, previous work at the animal shelter, and decades of animal ownership, Jenny is a fountain of knowledge and our go-to-gal for handling horses. She is also very reliable for taking in the odd animal that Dr. Kidder finds at work. Needless to say, she currently shares her farm with a menagerie of horses, dogs, cats, goats and chickens.
Ron
Ron is the office manager. He retired from the Navy following a 26-year career in aircraft maintenance. He then worked as a Crane inspector in North Alaska for 10 years before teaming up with Dr. Moody as the office manager. His love of animals runs deep! 5 dogs, 2 horses, 8 goats, chickens, ducks and an African Gray keep him on the run. Ron and his wife Su live on the north end of Whidbey and he loves to take his daughter camping and fishing.
Ashley
Ashley is our receptionist. She grew up in Anacortes, lived in the Burlington area, and moved to Oak Harbor 3 years ago. She is married to her highschool sweetheart, raising two wonderful teens, and loves spending time outdoors. She enjoys gardening, hiking,crafting, baking, and exploring the beautiful PNW with family. Her property is busy caring for her horse (Milo), two dogs (Bailey Grace a goldendoodle and Madison Joy a havanese), three cats (Oreo, Skye, and Charlton), a flock of chickens, a handsome Rhode Island Red rooster (Stanley), and a goofy mixed rooster (Hey-Hey). Previously, she spent 15 years as a cosmetologist in Skagit County. Her time working with the public in different settings has made her an asset caring for and understanding people’s needs. She is happy to be a part of this team and fulfill a childhood dream of working at a veterinary clinic.
Saralynn
Saralynn joined our team as a veterinary assistant. She originally came to us from California where she spent time breaking and riding racehorses in the desert and barrel racing in her free time. She owns a few horses including her trusty 33 year old arabian, Thunder Joe, whose best friend is Rockey the all-around ranch mutt. She keeps busy and you are likely to find her serving up some grub at a favorite local establishment or singing with various bands on the weekends.
