Dr. Fielding

Jessicca Fielding is one of our amazing Veterinarians here at NVS. Jessicca attended the Nova Scotia Agricultural College where she obtained her undergraduate degree; she then went on to Atlantic Veterinary College in PEI where she graduated with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. Jessicca promptly moved to Fort McMurray and fell in love with the community, the people and the surrounding nature. Knowing just how important the need for pet care in the region is, she decided to open Northern Veterinary Services in 2019. Jessicca has been blessed with the BEST team of veterinary professionals who are just as passionate about caring for the animals in our wonderful community. Jessicca shares her home with her crew of pets who are all quirky in their own way, Ares and Breaca, her 16 and 15 year old kitties, and of course Rue, a 6 year old 3-legged rescue kitty, as well as her newest addition, Druid, a german shepherd cross that was rescued by a civilian after finding him living outside near a highway. She also owns our in clinic bodyguard; Floki, the holy terror of sassy iguanas who was also a rescue! Outside the home lives Thor, a ginormous black Percheron. If she could add to her crew Jessicca has always wanted a Friesian. Jessicca’s hobbies include trail running, horseback riding and drinking wine ;). Dr.Fielding stresses the importance of keeping cats indoors when asked what animal issue she is passionate about. Roaming house cats have wreaked havoc on our wild bird population, not to mention the plethora of severe health risks to the cat just from being outside at all. Jessicca urges owners to reconsider the risks & legalities before letting your pet roam. Jessicca is passionate about providing veterinary care to not just dogs and cats, but all the exotic, equine, farm, and wild animals in YMM. One of her many constant goals is to provide the best possible care to ALL species and to “continue my education so I can further benefit those patients that may be a bit different”. Dr.Fielding truly strives to give the best possible care to all her patients, she takes the time to make sure all pets are comfortable and calm to the best of her ability. Jessicca consistently aims to maintain a happy and positive based experience for her clients and their pets whenever they come to the clinic. To help with the more stressful moments Jessicca takes a deep breath and tackles the next case. Dr.Fielding is passionate about the human animal bond and has committed herself to honoring that bond by maintaining the health of animals. Dr. Fielding is a certified superhuman, taking on a mountain of duties on a daily basis between her role as a veterinarian and a business owner. We are extremely fortunate to have her as a DVM & business owner here in YMM, and are so grateful to be able to work alongside her!
