Dr. Laura DuBose is a South Carolina native who grew up in Lexington with a lifelong love for animals. She earned her degree in Animal Science from Clemson University before completing her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia in 1998. For much of her career, she dedicated herself to spay and neuter work, performing thousands of surgeries that improved the lives of pets and helped reduce the number of animals in need. That experience instilled in her a deep sense of compassion and service, which she now carries into her work in end-of-life care. Over the years, Dr. DuBose felt called to focus on helping families through one of the most tender parts of the human-animal bond: saying goodbye. She believes every pet deserves to pass peacefully in the comfort of home, surrounded by familiar faces and love. Her approach is guided by empathy, compassion, and respect, ensuring both pets and their families feel supported during this difficult time. Outside of her work, Dr. DuBose enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and camping with her loyal pittie mix, Hopper. She also cherishes time with her two children—her son, who is proudly carrying on the Tiger tradition at Clemson, and her daughter, who is finishing her senior year of high school. With Hopper by her side and her children’s chihuahua mixes at home, she is constantly reminded of the joy, comfort, and unconditional love that pets bring to our lives—love she feels honored to help families honor in their pets’ final moments.

Dr. Kelly Stern’s love for animals began on the large working ranches where she grew up, caring for livestock and accompanying the local veterinarian on farm calls from an early age. Her childhood was filled with raising and showing cattle, dogs, and horses, training service dogs, and even riding professionally—all of which shaped her lifelong commitment to animal care. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Chemistry from Northern Arizona University in 2002 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2006. With more than 20 years of veterinary experience across multiple roles and locations, Dr. Stern has witnessed the profound importance of compassionate end-of-life care.
