Growing up with many pets including dogs, snakes, iguanas and rodents, Dr. Daub felt a strong connection to animals from a very young age. A Colorado native, she completed her undergraduate work at Colorado State University. During her studies, she completed internships at a sea turtle conservation center in Costa Rica and at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. These experiences solidified her interest in veterinary medicine. She graduated with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University in 2014. Dr. Daub was very excited to have the opportunity to return home to Colorado and has been part of the outstanding staff at Loving Family since July 2014 and has served as the hospital’s medical director since May of 2022.

Dr. Daub is passionate about preventative medicine, promoting the human-animal bond and mentoring new generations of veterinarians, technicians and assistants. Her professional interests include dentistry, senior pet care and pain management; to strengthen these interests she has completed additional training though the American Animal Hospital Association to become certified in Pain Management as well as Hospice + Palliative Care Certified. Dr. Daub’s Family includes her husband Andy and their two dogs, a terrier mix named Eva and a lab mix named Nellie and their adorable daughter, Madilyn born in 2018. In her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, soccer, hiking and skiing.
