Meet the veterinarians
About Dr. Becca Blaney
I have loved animals my entire life and have a passion for helping them. My family moved around a bit in my early years, but I primarily grew up in Lisle, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. We always had dogs and considered them members of our family. I loved riding horses and spent as much time as I could at the barn. When I was in high school, my horse sustained an injury while I was riding. I witnessed the exceptional veterinary treatment he received and was able to assist in the rehabilitation process, which solidified my desire to pursue a veterinary degree so that I could one day care for many more animals and build relationships with their owners.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in animal and veterinary sciences from Clemson University—go Tigers!—and received my veterinary degree from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.
After graduation, I completed an equine internship in Rhode Island before moving to the Lowcountry to be with my husband. I worked in small animal general practice and then spent the past three years working at a mobile large animal practice, and I love being able to care for animals where they are most comfortable - their home. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets who provide their families with a lifetime of love, and it is an honor to give them the care they deserve as they age.
I lost my heart horse, Sunny, a few years ago, and the experience gave me even more empathy for how families are feeling in those difficult moments. While it can feel like an impossible decision to make as a pet parent, choosing to relieve an animal’s suffering and providing a peaceful, dignified passing in their home, surrounded by the people they love most is a true gift. I feel honored to provide that kind of experience for pets and families through my role at Lap of Love.
Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy running, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my husband, daughter, and our pup, Crouton. We love discovering everything the Lowcountry has to offer!
