Dr. Laura Brittain was born in Germany thanks to her father’s career in the United States Army, but grew up here in Cleveland. She holds a degree in international marketing from the University of Alabama, and worked in the publishing world for a time as well as in other companies in the marketing and management fields. Dr. Brittain returned to her alma mater to take veterinary pre-requisites, working as a Veterinary Technician and volunteering at the local zoo at the same time. Next, she gained acceptance to Auburn University to become a licensed veterinarian.
Dr. Brittain has been a member of the Community Animal Hospital family since June of 2013. Medically, she’s passionate about the detail-oriented nature of soft-tissue surgeries, internal medicine, and endocrinology work, and critical care cases. Her favorite part of her day is getting to know patients and their loving owners on a personal basis.
Dr. Brittain’s interests outside of the veterinary world include traveling, scuba diving, horseback riding, and reading. She and her husband have a beautiful young daughter and also share their lives with a number of pets. They have Emmy, a Yellow Labrador mix who Dr. Brittain delivered herself; a rescued dog named Ellie; and a Quarter horse who goes by Dax [citation].
