Dr. Brynie Kaplan Dau

Brynie Kaplan Dau is a small animal and exotics veterinarian. She grew up in Pacific Grove and is happy to be back in her hometown, serving the community that she loves. Dr. Dau holds a Master’s degree from Moss Landing Marine Labs and California State University, Monterey Bay in marine science (invertebrate zoology and chemical oceanography), and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine (zoological medicine track). She has spent extensive time working with sea turtles in Greece and the Cayman Islands, marine fishes and invertebrates, as well as California wild seals and sea lions. However, she has never strayed from her childhood love of cats and dogs, and now works with exotic pets in addition to cats and dogs. Her main interests include feline medicine, soft tissue surgery, dermatology, behavior, dentistry, and ultrasound. In her spare time, she stays busy with her fourteen-year-old twins, Myles and Poppy, and her own menagerie—three cats named Elijah, Forest, and Skylar; a Merle pug named Pearl; and a leopard gecko named Coral.

Dr. Kaplan Dau strives to be part of a team with you to do what’s best for your beloved pet. She is committed to providing the highest quality care while working with you to manage your pet’s health as effectively as possible. She takes pride in clear communication to help determine the best treatment plan for both you and your pet. Dr. Kaplan Dau also collaborates regularly with specialists in cardiology, surgery, internal medicine, and ophthalmology to ensure comprehensive care.
