VETERINARY SERVICES
Open since June 21, 2002, North-East Newmarket Veterinary Services is an accredited veterinary office for companion animals that focuses on holistic veterinary care


North-East Vet (for short) is a small, peaceful and welcoming outpatient office. A quiet environment, friendly staff, soothing music, and essential oils create a safe and relaxing atmosphere for animals and their human companions.

Owners are welcome to use our spacious backyard (pictured left) to sit or walk their pet, with stoop and scoop bags provided for your convenience.

The focus of my veterinary practice is to help companion animals attain and maintain optimal health. Nutrition and natural therapies and modalities are used to support detoxification and achieve a state of balance. The result is true healing, and the disappearance of symptoms is the natural outcome.

As North-East Vet is strictly an outpatient office focusing on naturopathic veterinary care, patients requiring surgery, anesthesia, ultrasound, x-rays, electrocardiograms, and other in-hospital procedures are referred back to the animal's conventional veterinarian or to Davis Drive Animal Clinic, a nearby full service hospital where I can supervise care and prescribe natural remedies for administration during hospitalization.

SERVICES & MODALITIES

• Detailed case history and physical examination.
  
  
• Diagnostic aids: blood tests, urine analysis, fecal analysis, allergy testing done on-site or sent to a professional laboratory. Electro-dermal screening for food and environmental sensitivities, environmental allergies, and organ balancing.
  
  
• Treatment modalities: homeopathy, homotoxicology, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, lifestyle counseling, Bach Flower remedies, intra-venous fluid therapy, and physical therapies such as NAET (www.naet.com) and Matrix Repatterning (www.MatrixRepatterning.com).
  
  
• Conventional drugs such as antibiotics, corticosteroids, antihistamines, and hormones are used infrequently, but are available when necessary.
