Provincial Veterinary Fields Services - Clarification Did you receive this letter?
The NBEA received inquiries expressing concerns regarding the letter that many NB horse owners received from
Melanie Sears, Acting Director of Animal Health Services, NB Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries. This led us to contacting the office for further clarification. This is what the NBEA learned
We understand that horse owners may access both the PVFS and private equine veterinarians, as long as a veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR) is in place for both providers. Using a private vet will not cause termination of service by the provincial vet service as long as an active relationship has been established as per the definition. Any questions should be discussed with your provincial vet service provider.
