Meet the Doctor

Dr. Deb Brown

Hello! My name is Dr. Deb Brown and I am the owner of Pequot Lakes Animal Hospital. I grew up on a farm in Ellsworth, Wisconsin. I knew I wanted to be a vet since I was 7 years old, after taking care of my first pets, a pair of lambs named Bo and Peep.

I graduated from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, MN with a BA in Biology. I continued my training at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1994.

I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine. My special interest is integrative/holistic medicine. I earned my certification in veterinary acupuncture from the Chi Institute in Florida in 2001. I have also studied Chinese herbal medicine, western herbal medicine, food therapy, and homotoxicology (bioregulatory medicine). I want to be able to heal the whole pet, and not just treat the symptoms of the disease.

When I’m not at work, I like spending time with my husband Tony, our young German Shorthair named Liesel, and our two cats Rosebud and Diamond Sparkles. I enjoy pheasant hunting, reading suspense novels, camping, and kayaking Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
