About Dr. Brenda Tuck

“Animals soften our souls, appealing to a purer, more loving part of ourselves; it’s an inexplicable bond. They provide us love, friendship, security and emotional support that many people struggle to find in other humans and I’m constantly humbled by the bonds I witness between my clients and their pets. Providing dignity at end-of-life has always been paramount to me, no matter the species I am caring for. I strongly believe that every family should have the option to bid a final farewell to their beloved pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. Striving to make the euthanasia process as peaceful as possible, it’s an honor, and privilege, to be entrusted by families to share these most intimate of moments.”

As a native of Hampton Roads, Dr. Brenda Tuck was born in Virginia Beach, has lived in the Williamsburg area since 1985 and currently resides just outside of Williamsburg. Prior to becoming a veterinarian, she practiced as a Registered Nurse, holding several certifications including adult critical care with a sub-specialty in cardiac surgery. Realizing that veterinary medicine is where her true passion lied, Dr. Tuck returned to school to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and received her degree from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. Dr. Tuck is an avid proponent of the One Health Initiative, a philosophy that incorporates aspects of both human and veterinary medicine to benefit all species and has been in the health care field for 23 years. Her prior nursing career trained her in therapeutic communication allowing for exceptional compassionate end-of-life care for pets and their families. She is Fear-Free certified, practicing low-stress handling of pets and obtained certification in end-of-life care through CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy.)
Together, Dr. Tuck and her husband have three grown children and one grandchild. Their four-legged family currently consists of a senior lab-mix and two spunky, food driven kitties. Outside of work, her time is filled with family, reading, gardening, camping, boating, and there’s a good chance you’ll find her anywhere there’s live music.
