Your pet's health care team at Stratham-Newfields Veterinary Hospital cannot overstate the importance of your pet's health, both physical and mental, being a team effort.

Happy visits do not always "just happen." Many pets come with "baggage" from shelters, rescue groups, or unfortunate prior home situations.
Relaxed pets in the hospital allow us to perform more thorough exams, and are just more fun overall.

It all starts with YOU!

We know that you want what's best for your pets, and so do we. As fellow pet parents and animal lovers, we want to help you give your pets a happy, healthy, full life by providing all the expert-reviewed tips and tricks you need in one convenient place. Take a look around. Your pets will thank you!

Low-stress began with
Dr. Sophia Yin

Dr. Sophia Yin knew from personal experience the hardship of having a reactive, anxious pet and no resources for professional help. She saw around her many shattered relationships between misunderstood pets and their frustrated human companions. As a result, her mission became a desire to understand animals and their behavior so that the rest of us could care for, appreciate, and enjoy our time with them harmoniously.

You and your cat deserve Cat Friendly

Cats are not dogs. Duh.
We understand that kitties have different needs, both medical and emotional.
The Cat Friendly Practice program is leading the movement to make veterinary care less stressful for cats and their caregivers.
Established by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and the International Society for Feline Medicine (ISFM), the Cat Friendly Practice program is a global initiative designed to elevate care for cats by reducing the stress for the cat, caregiver, and also the entire veterinary team.
That is why we are Gold Level Certified.
