Making Better Tomorrows For Your Pet

Meet Dr. Tasha Wilson,
Owner & Operator of Acupetvet

Tasha and Jenkins

Read about Dr. Tasha Wilson’s involvement with NOMV and the Seacoast New England chapter she helped to form.

At a very young age, Dr. Tasha Wilson, DVM, knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. She received her Bachelors of Arts in Science locally at St. Anselm College and in 2005 she accomplished her lifelong dream and graduated from Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada. After she had practiced general veterinary medicine for five years, she started to look into other avenues of veterinary treatment.

“I believe in conventional therapies, but also wanted to offer other alternatives that could bring relief to pets when traditional treatments were not working or when more was needed.”

Dr. Wilson started researching the benefits of nutrition — attending nutritional workshops, talking with veterinary board-certified nutritionists, and even attending manufacturing pet food plants. She started offering client education seminars and teaching her clients about the benefits of proper nutrition and making recommendations based on their health.

In 2016 Dr. Wilson became certified in Medical Acupuncture at Colorado State University. This evidence-based modality allows Dr. Wilson to provide adjunctive therapies to her patients. “If I would have recommended it for my own pet, why would I not offer it to my patients? It’s a great tool to help control pain, and other ailments in pets”. 

In 2018, Dr. Wilson pursued certification in pet rehabilitation therapy. She took several courses in CO and FL at Canine Rehabilitation Institute. This therapy allows her to provide other treatment options for geriatric pets and those with orthopedic, musculoskeletal, neurological, and disc diseases; to name a few. This treatment not only provides pain relief, but also improves mobility, enhances balances, and improves and maintains strength. It is not only a good treatment option for pets but also is a great preventative.

After traveling on the road as a house call pet acupuncture clinic for 2 years, she wanted to offer a place for clients to come to her. She opened her clinic in Somersworth, NH in 2018 where she provides this care to pets in a comfortable setting.

” I know pets can become anxious in veterinary settings so I made the lobby area welcoming with dog beds, and leather chairs; and each treatment room looks like a living room. The dogs enjoy their dog beds, and the cats sit on a comfortable ottoman as the sun basks down on them during their treatment.”

Dr. Wilson can be found in her clinic in Somersworth, NH, or traveling the seacoast providing in-home veterinary care for pets with mobility issues, chronic pain, or in need of veterinary rehabilitation services; providing patients with acupuncture, laser therapy, electromagnetic therapy, massages and more.

Dr. Wilson also is available for house call hospice consults and in-home pet euthanasia for her patients.

Lynn Low,
Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist

Lynn at Acupetvet

Lynn has been a physical therapist for many years. She realized in high school that she wanted to work in a profession where she could help people. Upon researching various medical fields, Lynn became interested in physical therapy and was intrigued by the prospect of helping people regain the movement often taken for granted. Lynn received her degree from the University of New England in Biddeford, ME in 1991 and worked in acute care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing home settings in New York and California prior to relocating to New Hampshire in 1995.

Lynn worked at Concord Hospital for 24 years treating patients ranging from pediatric to geriatric with orthopedic, neurologic, and cardiopulmonary conditions as well as those with general medical and surgical diagnoses in the acute care setting. Lynn grew up with dogs and has had a variety of pets as an adult so the field of canine rehabilitation has always been an interest. As her dog aged, she wished there was more she could do to comfort her and began thinking more about pursuing canine rehab as a career.

In the fall of 2019, Lynn met Dr. Wilson, who shared her experiences as well as let Lynn observe some sessions. This really sparked her interest in becoming certified so she began the certification process through coursework with the Canine Rehabilitation Institute.

Lynn started working at Acupetvet in January 2020 as a Veterinary Assistant and Service Coordinator.

“It is great to watch the patients get better with every visit to Dr. Wilson! They get relief of their pain with acupuncture and laser, get stronger with exercise, and start to move better within a few sessions.”

Lynn received her canine rehabilitation certification in July 2021 and looks forward to helping your pets move better and live their best lives!

Nancy Oxton,
Veterinary Service Coordinator/Veterinary Technician

Nancy has worked as a veterinary technician in small animal and shelter medicine since 2002. She has worked in general practice and emergency medicine in Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. She enjoys spending her free time with her family and her pets, which consist of a fleet of Dachshunds, a Corgi, and three cats. She is also currently working on dual master’s degrees in legal psychology and early American history, for which she enjoys learning and peer-advising others on. She can be found visiting period events on the American Civil War, early settlement recreations, and other historic recreations in her spare time and loves learning about the times and trials of other generations and cultures.

Nancy’s discovery of and interest in the benefits of acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy came when her own Dachshund named Sage experienced IVDD, which was remarkably improved by Dr. Wilson and Lynn’s use of these modalities. She had seen other clients’ animals helped and, having first-paw experience with her Sage, it urged her to want to learn even more about this extraordinary specialty.

She is beyond excited to get to be a part of the team at Acupetvet and looks forward to seeing the same responses and improvements in others’ pets.
