Lauren Jakubowski, Staff Veterinarian

Dr. Lauren Jakubowski is a Chicagoland native and thrilled to be working in the city of Chicago.  She graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Veterinary Medicine and worked at first in the far northwest suburbs.  A few years in the San Francisco Bay area left her wanting to come back home, and she has been a part of the VCA Chicago North family since 2015.  Dr. Jakubowski considers herself a true general medicine practitioner for dogs and cats.  Her areas of interest are in veterinary dentistry, both preventative care education for pet owners and treatment of diseased teeth. Also, she loves discussing behavioral concerns with pet owners, with a focus in preventative pediatric care, separation anxiety, and some aggression problems.  She is always conscientious of our senior pets; with geriatric pet care, early detection screening, and comfort being forefront. 

When not in the office, you can find her catching the latest movies, hitting a high intensity interval exercise class, or checking out the Chicago food scene.  She lives on the north side of Chicago with her husband Cyril, her cat, Indy, and her Golden Retriever, Remy.
