Meet the Team

My name is Dr. Lauren Chapman and I am truly passionate about providing compassionate and dignified care to our beloved animal companions during their final stages of life.

 

For as long as I can remember, my love for animals has guided my path. As I navigated undergraduate work at The Ohio State University, it became clear that I wanted to dedicate my life to improving the well-being of animals and offering support to their loving families. After completing my degree in Animal Science I was fortunate enough to be admitted to The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation from veterinary school, I embarked on a fulfilling journey that led me to specialize in hospice care.

 

Working as a hospice veterinarian has allowed me to blend my medical expertise with my heartfelt desire to create a peaceful and comfortable environment for animals facing end-of-life challenges. I strongly believe that every animal deserves a dignified and pain-free transition, surrounded by love and compassion.

 

At Peaceful Veterinary Care, we strive to provide holistic care tailored to each individual animal's needs. We work closely with pet owners, helping them understand their companion's condition, discussing available options, and providing guidance throughout this difficult journey. We focus on managing pain, alleviating discomfort, and ensuring that our furry friends experience a sense of peace and tranquility during their final moments.

 

As a veterinarian, I consider it a great privilege to be invited into the lives of these special animals and their families during such an emotional time. I am humbled by the trust they place in me and remain dedicated to offering my expertise, empathy, and support.

 

When I'm not working, you can often find me in nature, seeking solace and finding inspiration in the beauty of the world around us. I believe that connecting with nature can bring healing and serenity to our lives, and it serves as a reminder of the remarkable bond we share with our animal companions.

 

Thank you for visiting our website. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the services we offer at Peaceful Veterinary Care, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, let's create a peaceful and compassionate journey for your beloved pet during their final stage of life.

I'm Dr. Rose and I am the proud co-owner of Peaceful Veterinary Care, with Dr. Lauren Chapman.

 

My desire to help families through end-of-life care is a direct extension of my own personal experiences in life. 

​

I have lost both human and animal family members. I feel grateful that those closest to me have experienced the many benefits of good palliative care and I strive to offer the same high level of end-of-life care to my patients. I am a certified veterinary acupuncturist and I always look to incorporate alternative medical approaches to my patient's care plan.

​

Peaceful Veterinary Care is unique in that we are able to provide the full scope of palliative care; from quality of life assessments and alternative pain management to in-home euthanasia and cremation services. Having your veterinary provider oversee your pet's health care and aftercare services truly separates us from other providers. I believe that every living being deserves a dignified passing and a thoughtful aftercare plan. 

​

My free time is occupied by time spent with my husband and our children. I love riding my horse and being outside.

​

I am honored that you have taken the time to consider our services and I wish you and your pet family peace and comfort. 

Hello, I'm Dr. Jennae Waney, and I'm a part-time veterinarian with Peaceful Veterinary Care. From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to strengthening the bond between animals and the people who love them. My journey in veterinary medicine began in San Diego as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter. Over the span of a decade, I moved away from San Diego and worked my way forward, eventually graduating from the University of California, Davis. 

Though I enjoyed my years away, I always longed to return back to my hometown, and have since built a career here as a full-time general practitioner. 

 

Throughout my work, I've always felt a strong calling toward end-of-life care, and found myself constantly searching for grey muzzles and hazy eyes. I believe that helping pets pass with dignity is one of the most meaningful gifts we can offer. These moments, though incredibly difficult, hold space for deep love and connection and it’s an honor to walk beside families during this time.

 

One of the most challenging aspects of traditional veterinary care is the stress it can place on both pets and their families. In-home hospice and euthanasia care allow us to create a familiar environment where animals can be as comfortable as possible in their final moments. I’m deeply grateful to be part of the Peaceful Veterinary Care team, where compassion, comfort, and connection guide everything we do. 

 

When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me by the water or walking my dog, Alabama. As a lifelong San Diegan, nothing is more relaxing than an afternoon at the beach - there’s something about the ebb and flow of the waves that reminds me of how fleeting and beautiful life can be.

Hi, my name is Stacy, and I’m truly honored to be part of the Peaceful Veterinary Care team. It’s a privilege to provide compassionate support to both pets and their families during some of life’s most difficult moments. 

​

My journey in veterinary medicine began as a kennel assistant, and through hard work and dedication, I eventually became a Registered Veterinary Technician in 2022. Over the past decade, I’ve gained experience in general practice, emergency and critical care, and specialty medicine—including leading an Internal Medicine department. Every step of the way has only deepened my love for this field. 

​

Caring for animals and supporting people has been a lifelong passion of mine—something my three-year-old self would be proud to see come true. Being able to combine empathy with medical care is truly a dream come true. 

Recently, I experienced the profound loss of my heart and soul dog, Tank. Peaceful Veterinary Care helped me through the process with grace and compassion. When the opportunity came to join this team, I was overjoyed. It is now my mission to extend that same care to others walking a similar path. I’m incredibly proud to be part of a team that treats every pet with dignity, compassion, and love. 

​

Outside of work, I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Biology. I also enjoy traveling, dancing, and enjoying great food with my fiancé.
