Dr Sarah Fillioe

Dr. Sarah Fillioe is a 2016 graduate from the Atlantic Veterinary College and has been working as a small animal veterinarian ever since. She has previously practiced in New Brunswick, Ontario and PEI, but is happily back to New Brunswick where she, her two dogs and partner are looking forward to this next chapter in their lives. When not at work Sarah is often travelling to visit friends and family, working outside on her property, hiking, or just relaxing with the dogs. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine but is particularly fond of working with geriatric patients, pain management, internal medicine cases, and emergency medicine. She is looking forward to getting to know all the pets and owners in this great community!
Cathy O'Neill
Registered Veterinary Technician
Cathy O’Neill, RVT, was born and raised in Cape Breton, N.S. After attending Saint Francis Xavier University, she was recruited as a regular member by the RCMP. She has lived in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, British Columbia and now New Brunswick. Realizing that family and animals were her real passion, she joined the veterinary family in 1984 and has been working as a veterinary technician ever since. Years of teaching obedience classes in the community and breeding Weimaraner‘s for a period of time lead her to her interest in canine and feline behaviour.
She is married with two grown children and four beautiful grandchildren and is currently owned and controlled by a young English Pointer and two house cats.
Leanne Dow
Client Services and Adminstration
Leanne has always had a strong passion for animals for as long as she can remember and working at a vet clinic has always been a dream of hers. She grew up in St. Stephen and just down the road was her grandparents farm, where most of her days were spent tending to the barn cats/kittens and occasionally trying to sneak them home. When not at work she is chasing around, trying to entertain her lab puppy who is very busy, as most lab owners know.
