Veterinary Assistant
Ana is a northern Virginia native who has always known that she wanted to work with animals. Like most ofAna is a northern Virginia native who has always known that she wanted to work with animals. Like most of the Village Vet staff, she appreciates that every day is unique. She can go from a check-up for a kitten to a police dog with a foreign body ingestion and then to a hawk with a broken wing in one day. Her favorite time of the year is Christmas when Dr. Lonam plays Santa for pets who visit the annual holiday party.
Along with her husband Scott, she’s got a lot more weight to move at home with Kaya, a Rottweiler and Escobar, a Mastiff, and ferrets, Gino and Gia, and continuing down the scale, they are beekeepers! They both root for hometown teams, The Commanders and Capitals. Ana enjoys exploring local breweries and gardening and has an impressive indoor plant collection.

Anne Lonam
Client Care Specialist
When Anne and her husband, Dr. Lonam, purchased Village Vet in 1987, she intended to help get the practice organizedWhen Anne and her husband, Dr. Lonam, purchased Village Vet in 1987, she intended to help get the practice organized and on its way, then continue on her career path in landscape design. She soon found herself deeply entrenched in the practice, and the business challenges were more daunting than they first realized.
Working at the clinic allowed Anne to meld her biology background (Colgate University, 1978) with her previous business experience in other areas. She loved meeting new people and developing relationships with clients and their families and has always had a soft spot for animals. "It's a stimulating environment and one that provides constant learning opportunities." After serving as the practice manager for over 35 years at Village Vet, she still derives great satisfaction from helping clients and their pets.
The Lonams have one adult son, Matthew, and a menagerie of pets, including cats, dogs, a bird, and reptiles. Anne enjoys community service projects, including participation in several international veterinary mission trips to Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. Leisure activities include gardening, traveling, performing arts, museums, skiing, kayaking, swimming, cycling, hiking, and simply spending time with friends and family.
