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 pet, a sheep named Peep (her brother was named Bo).

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.

My special interest is holistic medicine. I was certified 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. I want to be able to heal the whole pet, not just treat the symptoms.

When I’m not at work I like spending time with my husband Tony, our dogs Bud and Heidi, and our two cats Rosebud and Diamond Sparkles. I enjoy pheasant hunting, reading suspense novels, and kayaking Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
