Meet Our Team

DVM, CVA, CVFT, CVMMP

From a very young age, Dr. North understood how vital the human/animal bond is in her life and the lives of others. She grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, horses, cattle, and even pigs and is dedicated to the health of animals. Over the years, Dr. North has worked on integrating a holistic approach with the overall healthcare of animals.

Dr. North understands and values the difference between surviving and thriving. Her whole-body approach will lead your pet to their very best and longest life. Using human-grade whole foods, supplements, Chinese herbs, and more, Dr. North’s goal is to manage your pet’s medical conditions with as little conventional drug intervention as possible. Through your virtual or in-person consultation,  you will gain an understanding of your pet’s Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine diagnosis, Western veterinary medicine diagnosis, lab work details, and more. Clients leave feeling heard and with a plan for herbs, supplements, foods, and even a home-cooked recipe (topper or full diet) using foods that benefit their pet’s specific conditions.

With a passion for TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) and continuing education, Dr. North adds to her ability to help pets daily. She is studying in the Masters of TCVM program at Chi University in Reddick, FL where she’s also been doing some teaching (TA-ing labs).

Rebecca is the heart of our client communications and the glue that keeps our practice running smoothly. As our Practice Manager, she handles new patient and client communication, scheduling and rescheduling appointments, and ensuring that Chinese herbs are drop-shipped to pets who need them. With a background in pet store management, inventory, and vendor relations, she brings both expertise and a deep love for animals to her role.

Rebecca has a natural warmth and humor that make her a joy to work with, and her attention to detail ensures that every client and patient receives the best care. She and Dr. Neely North first met when Dr. North treated her beloved dog, Ali, who has since become an angel. Now, she shares her life with Toby, her much-loved pup, as well as a farm full of animals in Portland, TN, where she raises chickens, tends to her guardian dogs, and cultivates a thriving garden filled with plants and homegrown food.

While Rebecca mostly works virtually, she is always available via phone, email, or text to assist with scheduling, questions, or anything else to help get your pet in to see Dr. North. She truly cares about our clients and their animals, and we’re so lucky to have her on our team!
