Veterinarian Overview

Dr. Laura Fosbender grew up just outside Chicago and earned a BA in History from Carleton College in 1993. She was lucky enough to spend a semester abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1991. The book Tales of the City charmed her into moving to San Francisco in 1998. She spent several years working in various software and analytical roles for startups and the University of California system while she volunteered with dogs and cats in her free time. Her love of pets and their people, along with an interest in medicine, lead her to pursue veterinary school (and a bit of adventure) at Massey University in New Zealand. She graduated in 2011 and worked as a vet in San Francisco and the East Bay before joining the team at University Veterinary Hospital in December 2014. Dr. Fosbender has a special interest in dermatology, internal medicine and feline medicine. Her goal as a vet is to improve the quality of life for pets and their people by empowering people to make informed decisions about their pets' health. She is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, Veterinary Information Network and local veterinary associations. When she's not at University Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Fosbender spends her time reading fiction, running slowly but steadily, and telling anyone who will listen that they should be watching The Americans. Although previously an avowed dog person, she now lives in West Berkeley with two beloved cats – Emily and Dulcinea.

Dr. Fosbender is an absolutely amazing vet. She’s treated our dog and both our cats. Our dog has had many health problems, and Dr. Fosbender has been there the entire time ensuring we’re receiving the best care possible for her. She truly cares about the animals, and is so warm in her demeanor. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable with the care plan and understand exactly what each process/item means. She also has never put us through superfluous money-grabbing care, which I’ve experienced with other vets. Cannot recommend her enough! She is literally a life saver.
