Introducing a new mobile veterinary service in Sydney and surrounding areas specializing in acupuncture and alternative therapies for animals large and small.

Hello, neighbors!
I’m Dr. Michelle Elgersma, and I’m excited to officially introduce myself and my mobile practice, Kalmeren Veterinary Acupuncture, to the Cape Breton community.
As a veterinarian and Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA), I’ve always believed in the power of "special treatment for special animals." I recently transitioned to a fully mobile practice because I saw a need for specialized, low-stress care that comes directly to you—whether you have a dog or cat at home in Sydney, or horses in the surrounding countryside.

What makes Kalmeren different?
I focus exclusively on acupuncture and alternative therapies. My goal is to work alongside your regular vet to provide comfort, mobility, and wellness through non-pharmaceutical methods.

• Mobile Service: No more stressful car rides for your pets; I come to your home or barn.
• Acupuncture & Osteopathy: I’m currently furthering my studies in Canine and Equine Osteopathy to provide even more holistic options for pain management and recovery.

I’m proud to call Sydney home and look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members out on the road.
If you’d like to learn more or see if acupuncture is right for your animal, feel free to visit kalmeren.ca to learn about my services or request an appointment.

See you out there!
Dr. Michelle Elgersma, DVM, CVA
