Moncton!

There is limited appointment availability for lameness work-ups, gastroscopy, chiropractic care and shockwave therapy. I am happy to work collaboratively with your current vet to provide this care. Please note: Moncton horse owners using our services for routine care (vaccines, dentistry, wellness exams) must be prepared to trailer their horse to us in the event of an emergency.

⭐️ Meet our team!
Many of you guessed it! We are thrilled to be welcoming Dr Lauryn O’Brien to our practice. She spent some time with us last fall, and will be joining us as a DVM beginning in June. We will spend the next several weeks getting her acquainted with our clients and patients.

Dr O’Brien was born and raised in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia. She completed a BSc in Biology at the University of Prince Edward Island prior to completing her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Atlantic Veterinary College. She grew up riding around the hunter ring before moving away for university, and has always loved working with horses. As a new veterinarian, she is looking forward to establishing meaningful connections with clients and to provide consistent, quality care to patients. She enjoys integrative medicine, and is currently working towards becoming a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist. This will be an excellent asset for our patients and we are excited to be able to offer this service soon! Outside of work she is looking forward to exploring New Brunswick and all things outdoors with her fiancé, Connor, and her dog, Odin.

🦷Little Apples is pushing 30 years old, and understandably needs a bit of help to maintain her pearly whites. Senior horses are apt to develop periodontal pockets, loose teeth and diastemata and often require more frequent dental care. Apples checks every box on the senior dental bingo card, and has lost a few teeth over the years, but no extractions needed today! We ❤️ Apples 🍏

⭐️Meet our team! I have new team members joining me this year and will take some time to introduce them.

She is in the pre vet program with the goal to become a veterinarian. She has spent her life around horses and has a strong passion for them, and spends her personal time competing in reining. She is excited to keep learning and growing in the equine industry, and we are happy to have her with us for the summer!
