Best veterinarians in Santa Clara County

Choosing the best veterinarian in San Jose and Santa Clara County can be a tough decision. We want the best for our furry family members, and their health care is no different. We want a veterinarian who is kind, caring, compassionate and will listen to us. One that sees our pet as an individual instead of just another appointment in their book. So we asked our followers who their favorite veterinarian is and why, and we are sharing the results with you!

Did your veterinarian make the list?

Jenn & Ryan’s personal favorite:
The Whole Pet Vet
325 Saratoga-Los Gatos Rd, Los Gatos, CA 95030
    We love The Whole Pet Vet because they are open to many options (holistic and integrative) in regards to pet care. We sought out TWPV after our previous vet (who will remain anonymous) nearly gave up on treating Lilly for her digestive issues. We wanted a more holistic option and that is what TWPV was willing to offer us. They are kind, Fear Free certified (like Jenn’s Pet TLC) and we love how they strive to provide the least stressful environment for our cats. 

Our followers recommendations:
Adobe South Bay (Los Gatos/Almaden & Blossom Hill)
15965 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos, CA 95032
    “All the veterinarians there are well educated, they take their time to explain everything to you and truly care for the well being of animals.”

Dr Wong VCA Orchard Plaza Animal Hospital
​5841 Cottle Rd, San Jose, CA 95123
    “So caring and takes time to explain everything. She asks lots of good questions about our cats also.”

Los Gatos Dog & Cat Hospital
​17480 Shelburne Way, Los Gatos, CA 95030
    “Great staff and always squeeze me in if my cats need to come in. I don’t think they are taking new clients at this time though.”

Live Oak Veterinary Hospital
​16025 Vineyard Blvd, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
    “Jeannie Hagarty Arcay was my large animal vet through [the former] Tri-County Veterinary care for many years, and then she and a partnering vet opened Live Oak in Morgan Hill specializing in smaller animals. She is amazing, great communication and compassionate care! One of my pups has severe allergies and she goes above and beyond to ensure he is comfortable, which brings peace of mind. My dogs have seen other vets at Live Oak and they too have been wonderful.”

Evergreen Veterinary Clinic
​1611 E Capitol Expy Ste 205, San Jose, CA 95121
    “The veterinarians at this clinic have always treated my pets with the [utmost] concern. I have taken my pets to this clinic for decades.”

Pinnacle Animal Hospital
4724 Meridian Ave, San Jose, CA 95118
     "Tory sees Dr. Linda Watson at Pinnacle. She's great because she is thorough, kind and respectful. She explains things clearly, doesn't recommend things that aren't needed (no upselling of products or services) and is happy to answer as many questions as I have. She never seems rushed to get to the next appointment. They are a cat friendly vet, and Tory is never taken out of my sight during the appointment - they bring everything they need into the room, so I know that she's always safe. Their prices are reasonable and they are located close to my home."

Dr. Joanne Smith from VCA Palo Alto
​3944 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA 94306
      "She’s caring and thoughtful and always goes the extra mile for our pets!"
