Meet "our" Doctor

That is, meet BrightHaven’s own Christine Barrett, DVM. Chris has been BrightHaven's supervising veterinarian since 2005 and is also a member of our Board of Directors.

Chris has offered her heart and services for many years now to BrightHaven. The names of all the cats, dogs, birds and even toads she has treated for us are too numerous to mention but, along with her current patients: Barney, Furbee, Jackie, Simon, Fred, Trevor, Paquita and Patti—they all offer thanks in unison! Dr Chris obtained a BA in German at Santa Clara University before joining the "Class of '67" at UC Davis, from where she obtained a DVM and graduated in 1986.

She went on to studying homeopathy for animals with the father of animal homeopathy, Dr. Richard Pitcairn and has been practicing classical homeopathy since 1995. She has participated in extensive further education programs and is one of the most competent and caring practitioners we have known.

Sadly, Chris does not take new patients at this time.
