Meet Dr. Becky Fraser
Since 2013 I have used holistic medicine to honor our pets as whole beings…body, mind, and spirit. I am now being called to do this exclusively through gentle, loving, and peaceful end-of-life care.
Dr. Fraser grew up in the small town of Winterport, Maine. She attended Elon College in North Carolina for her undergraduate studies in Biology. It wasn’t until her third year of college that she realized veterinary medicine was a much better fit for her than human medicine. In preparation for vet school, Dr. Fraser spent a year in Maine working in a mixed animal practice and then two years at UNC Chapel Hill working in neuroscience research. It was here that she met her husband, Randal.
Dr. Fraser attended vet school at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in the top 10% of her class in 2007. She focused on mixed-animal practice in school, but decided to dedicate her professional life to dogs and cats. She worked at a busy, multi-doctor practice in Raleigh, NC for a couple years while Randal finished graduate school. In 2010, their family relocated to Baltimore after Randal accepted a post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute.
In April 2013, Dr. Fraser started a house call veterinary practice doing acupuncture and Chinese medicine after studying at the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. This practice has evolved into Fraser Veterinary Services which added home euthanasia services in 2015.
The summer of 2019 was eventful as Dr. Fraser and her family relocated to Massachusetts. While it was hard to leave her amazing clients and patients in Maryland, it has been great building a community of friends and clients in Massachusetts.
In her life outside of work, Dr. Fraser and her husband are raising three wonderful kids. Life with 2 teenagers and a pre-teen is very busy! The kids are very active in sports and music so after school hours and weekends are packed with travel, games, and practices. Our home is also shared with 3 cats (Taz, Waffles, and Sprinkles) and 2 young dogs (Lulu and Archer). Outside there are chickens and an active apiary of honeybees. Dr. Fraser has been a beekeeper for 5 years and in the past year has become very active playing pickleball! Time away from home is often spent on the shore in Maine.
