Veterinarian (DVM) – Pinole Pet Hospital

Pinole, CA

Join a Passionate Team in Historic Pinole, CA

Pinole Pet Hospital is seeking a skilled, compassionate Veterinarian to join our small but mighty practice. If you're looking for a clinic where you can practice high-quality medicine, build meaningful client relationships, and work with a supportive, collaborative team — look no further!

The Role: Veterinarian

As our Veterinarian, you'll join a talented, tight-knit team and see a diverse caseload spanning dental cleanings and extractions, spays and neuters, CCL knee surgeries, full-body and dental radiographs, and ultrasound diagnostics. This is the kind of practice where curiosity is welcomed and growth is expected. Whether you're a seasoned DVM seeking a team that matches your drive or a newer graduate ready to accelerate your skills, you'll find mentorship that's real and the chance to practice medicine you're proud of every single day.

You Will:

Go beyond routine care. You'll have the tools, training, and autonomy to take on complex surgeries, advanced diagnostics, and dentistry. And you won't be figuring it out alone. This is a team that collaborates, communicates, and genuinely has your back.

Why Pinole Pet Hospital?

It starts with leadership that actually shows up. Our Clinical Director, Dr. Emily Lin, has been here for over 12 years, building lasting relationships with our clients and their pets. Her impact extends well beyond the exam room. As a mentor to veterinarians across the VetnCare network, she leads with compassion, generosity, and a genuine investment in the people around her. That tone shapes everything we do here.
