The Whole Pet Vet Hospital and Wellness Center in Los Gatos, CA is looking for an associate veterinarian to join our thriving 7-doctor practice. We are a full-service hospital offering both traditional medicine and integrative care, with a reputation for excellent client service, compassionate medicine, and a collaborative team culture.

About Us

We provide comprehensive care for cats, dogs, and pocket pets, from dentistry, surgery, and urgent care to integrative services like acupuncture, chiropractic care, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, and rehabilitation. Our hospital has a traditional medicine side and a wellness center for integrative and rehab services.

Led by founder and Medical Director Dr. Hilary Wheeler, a certified veterinary acupuncturist and canine rehabilitation therapist, our team includes four Associate DVMs with certifications in herbal medicine, acupuncture, and chiropractic care. Our doctors also specialize in dentistry, chronic pain management, surgery, and nurturing the human-animal bond. We have a certified rehabilitation therapist serving animal, pediatric, and orthopedic patients in the Bay Area.

Outside of work, our doctors enjoy family time and hobbies like volunteering, crafting, horseback riding, and gardening. We encourage you to read more about our team on our website.
