Veterinarians

Robyn Fry, DVM

Practice Owner

Dr. Robyn Fry began working at Edmonds Veterinary Hospital in June 2015 and became the  practice owner just a month later, following the retirement of Dr. Larry Remick. A proud  Washington native, Dr. Fry was raised in Sultan and is a graduate of Washington State  University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, Class of 2006. Before taking the reins at EVH,  she spent several years practicing in the Central and SODO areas of Seattle, honing her  skills in a fast-paced, urban environment. 

As both a veterinarian and business owner, Dr. Fry is passionate about creating a practice  that blends progressive medical care with a warm, community-focused atmosphere. She  takes great pride in fostering long-term relationships with her clients and their pets and is  committed to staying current with advancements in veterinary medicine to ensure she  

provides thoughtful, evidence-based care. She has a special interest in managing  endocrine conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disease, and is a strong advocate for  the power of preventative medicine to improve quality of life and catch issues early. 

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Fry embraces everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. She  enjoys quad and inline skating, hiking, road trips and camping. She’s also an avid  gardener—during the summer months, the clinic is often filled with fresh-cut roses from  her home garden. At home, she enjoys a quiet life with her three cats Pickles, Sherman  and Javelin, reading library borrowed books, finding exciting new shows to obsess over,  and never missing a Seahawks game.

Amanda McNabb, DVM

Relief Veterinarian

Dr. Amanda McNabb is a highly experienced relief veterinarian with over 20 years of clinical  expertise. She provides compassionate, knowledgeable care to clinics throughout  Washington State, offering dependable support in a wide range of settings. A 2002 graduate  of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. McNabb further  advanced her surgical skills through a small animal surgical internship at Cornell  University.

Her career spans 13 years in emergency medicine, along with extensive work in high volume spay/neuter clinics. This combination has given her a strong foundation in fast paced, high-pressure environments. Dr. McNabb is particularly skilled in soft tissue surgery  and confidently handles complex cases. She also accepts urgent care appointments,  helping us meet the needs of patients during critical times. 

Passionate about service and adventure, Dr. McNabb volunteers her time providing field  medicine in developing countries. When she’s not working, you’ll find her enjoying the  outdoors—whether hiking, kayaking, cycling, or traveling to new places. She shares her  home with her cat, Presta, and her dog, Schrader.

Debbie Bushey, DVM

Relief Veterinarian

Dr. Debbie Bushey graduated with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from  Louisiana State University (LSU) in 2006 and has been practicing with a focus on advanced  veterinary care and client education ever since. She practiced in Florida until 2018, when  she relocated to Seattle, which she considers home. She has practiced medicine and  surgery in many different types of veterinary practices – including a bird and exotics clinic,  emergency hospitals, fast paced high-volume walk-in clinics, mobile vaccine clinics and  general practice – gaining broad experience in many areas of veterinary medicine. She feels  that preventative care is the most important aspect of veterinary medicine. She strives to  educate pet owners, empowering them to provide the best care for their animals and  strengthen the bond they share with their pets. 

A former aerospace engineer, Dr. Bushey still applies her analytical and problem-solving  skills to her work today. She is especially passionate about preventative medicine, feline  health (including treating FIP and inappropriate urination), and heartworm disease. As a  

Fear Free Certified professional, she is dedicated to making vet visits as stress-free as  possible. 

When she is not at the clinic, Dr. Bushey enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and exploring nature. She shares her home with her husband, three cats – Nigel, Moe Moe and Trixie and 2 birds – Kiwi the Quaker parrot and Petey the Cockatiel.

Hayley

Lead Veterinary Assistant

Hayley earned her Veterinary Assistant Certificate from PIMA Medical Institute in 2008 and  has been dedicated to compassionate, high-quality care ever since. She worked under the  Remicks, the previous owners of EVH, for two years before joining on with Dr. Fry in 2018  after the practice transitioned—contributing continuity through the change in ownership. As a lifelong Edmonds local, she takes pride in supporting pets and their families in her  own community. 

In the clinic, Hayley has a special interest in veterinary dentistry and anesthesia. She  enjoys performing dental cleanings, managing pain and anesthesia during procedures, and  educating clients on the importance of oral health. She’s passionate about staying current  in her field and often finds herself reading up on the latest veterinary advancements. 

Hayley also has a strong interest in dermatology, particularly helping pets manage skin  allergies—a common and often challenging condition. She finds it rewarding to help relieve  discomfort and guide families through long-term care strategies. 

At home, Hayley enjoys life with her husband, two daughters, and two cats—Rocky and  Pebbles. She loves traveling with her family and embracing the everyday joys of life in  Edmonds.

Maddy

Veterinary Assistant

Maddy joined EVH in June 2023, bringing with her hands-on experience in diagnostic  imaging and assisting doctors in thorough work ups for sick pets. Before joining EVH, she  spent a year assisting with ultrasounds and X-rays at Vision Pet Imaging and also  volunteered at NOAH Animal Adoption Center in Stanwood—where her passion for rescue  work truly took root. 

At home, Maddy shares her life with two rescue dogs from NOAH: Luna, a Basset  Hound/Lab mix, and Max, a Cattle Dog mix. She loves spending time outdoors with them,  especially at local dog parks and hiking trails. 

Maddy’s favorite part of working in veterinary medicine is helping pets feel better and  watching their health improve through her care and support. She has a special interest in  caring for geriatric patients and finds deep meaning in supporting clients through hospice  and end-of-life care with empathy and compassion.

Tara

Lead Client Services Representative

Tara joined Edmonds Veterinary Hospital in September 2022, bringing with her a wide range  of experience from various veterinary settings, including private practices, high-volume  spay/neuter clinics, and homeless outreach programs. She was quickly promoted to Lead  Client Service Representative thanks to her dedication to meeting clients’ needs and her  commitment to ensuring the clinic runs smoothly. She consistently steps up to take on  extra projects, improve clinic flow, and provide excellent client support. 

Originally from California, Tara also lived in Oregon before settling in the Edmonds area.  Outside of work, Tara loves exploring Washington with her husband and two sons, hiking, exploring beaches and museums. Though she doesn’t currently have pets at home, Tara  gets her fill of furry love from the patients she sees every day and our clinic cats. 

She is particularly knowledgeable about the veterinary prescription diets and supplements  we offer, and is always happy to help clients find the right nutrition or product  recommendations for their pets. She especially enjoys seeing puppies and kittens grow  over time and being part of their journey from their very first visits!

Sage

Client Services Representative

Sage joined EVH in December 2024 as a Veterinary Assistant. She soon transitioned into  her current role as a Client Service Representative driven by her love to work directly with  clients and support them in caring for their pets. Her strong clinical background, combined  with her love of client interaction, allows her to support pet owners with both empathy and  knowledge. 

Originally from Eastern Washington, Sage moved to Edmonds after earning her Veterinary  Assistant Certificate from Carrington College in 2019. At home, Sage is the proud pet  parent of Valentine Hugo and Vincent Van Gogh, a pair of bonded domestic short hair cats  rescued from the Issaquah forest. Now four years old, they’ve settled into life as thoroughly  spoiled house cats. Sage loves that veterinary medicine is always evolving—each day  brings new cases, new questions, and new things to learn.  

Sage has a special interest in the husbandry and care of small mammals, including rabbits,  rats, chinchillas, and ferrets. In her free time, Sage enjoys hula-hooping, playing piano, and  painting—creative outlets that reflect her energetic and thoughtful personality.

Clinic Cats

Rico

The Comeback King

Rico was adopted from PAWS in September 2016 and quickly established himself as the  clinic’s resident toy-fetcher and front-door escape artist. In April 2024, Rico suddenly  became very ill. X-rays revealed he had developed megaesophagus and aspiration  pneumonia—a life-threatening combination. He was hospitalized at AMCS Shoreline for  several days, and his condition was so serious that we prepared to say our goodbyes. 

But Rico had other plans. 

The very next morning, he surprised us all by perking up, eating, and showing significant  improvement. Euthanasia was postponed, and with round-the-clock nursing care, he made  an almost full recovery. Now, he lives with his condition managed by a special upright  feeding setup and our dedicated staff who hold him upright after every meal. 

Rico’s favorite things include playing fetch, scream-meowing at his toys, and sneaking out  the front door for bites of fresh grass. On sunny days, you might spot Dr. Fry walking him on  his signature teal leash. When you visit EVH, beware—Rico will try to convince you he’s  allowed outside alone. (He’s not.)

Henry

The Foodie & Paper Shredder

Henry was adopted alongside Rico from PAWS in 2016 and has been keeping the team on  their toes ever since. He’s generally healthy but has a history of urinary crystals, so he’s on  a prescription diet to prevent formation. Previously overweight, Henry has reached his ideal  body condition score, thanks to the team’s consistent effort to resist his dramatic food  begging and clever snack heists, and finding creative ways to keep him moving. 

Henry is particularly skilled at silently breaking into food bags and excels in turning  paperwork into cat-fetti. He loves knocking important notes into the recycling bin and  watching the blue jays outside the doctor’s office window. 

He’s also the clinic’s unofficial dinner bell. Henry has the loudest, most distinctive meow in  the building and an uncanny ability to tell time.

Stella

The Healer with a Heart

Stella came to EVH as a new patient in November 2023 after being adopted from PAWS.  Initially recovering from a routine dental procedure, she arrived lethargic and not eating—

bloodwork revealed her kidneys were in acute failure due to accidental NSAID overuse. Her  new owner, unable to commit to her potential long-term care, surrendered her to us. 

Stella was started on IV fluids and supportive care, including a weekend stay with a staff  member for around-the-clock monitoring. Within 24 hours, her appetite returned, and by  72 hours, her kidney values were back to normal. But her journey wasn’t over. 

Stella soon began showing signs of severe oral pain, even when not actively eating. She  was diagnosed with one of the worst cases of stomatitis Dr. Fry had ever seen and  underwent full-mouth extractions with Dr. Carle at AMCS. Since her surgery, she’s made a  full recovery and is finally living a happy, healthy cat life. 

The only girl cat in the clinic, Stella fully embraces her queen bee status. She’s sassy,  opinionated, and not afraid to tell you what she thinks—especially if you’re in her spot. But  she’s also deeply intuitive and affectionate, she seems to sense when someone is stressed  and offers what we lovingly call a “Stella Cleansing”—jumping up on shoulders, rubbing  her face and pheromones on our head and hair, and reminding us of self-care.
