Hello, I’m Dr. Lauren Robinson! I’m a native Philadelphian, based out of Lower Bucks County. My background of education has long been in science and medicine. I went to Ursinus College as a Biology Major, worked in basic research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for about 10 years, then decided to pursue vet tech classes as a preview to veterinary medicine! I attended veterinary school at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech.
Upon graduation in 2015, I returned to the Pennsylvania area and spent 7 years in general practice, While there, my focus was on general health and wellness, the importance of spaying/neutering, and educating about preventative care and dispelling popular pet care myths.
As a lifelong pet parent and a practicing veterinarian, I have experienced the joys of having pets in my life, but also the challenge and sadness when they pass on. Providing a peaceful, pain-free transition to my client’s pets has been something I’ve never taken lightly, and believe that having a compassionate person to do that service is greatly needed and appreciated by the families.

Throughout her career, she has worked in a variety of veterinary settings, from private practice to emergency care, academia, and shelter medicine. Her work in this area, particularly in end-of-life care, has greatly influenced her approach to helping families through very delicate times.
