Partners in pet care since 1955 – that’s JV Pet.

Partnerships. Teamwork. Collaboration. Back in 1955, a veterinarian by the name of Warren J. Wegert had a vision to make human-quality medicine available to pet owners living in Portland, Oregon. Since that time, JV Pet Hospital has lived that promise and promoted the philosophy that the best relationships are formed when people work together.

Our commitment to partnerships led PetSmart, the nation's largest retailer of pet‐related products and services for pets and their families, to ask JV Pet to help bring high‐quality veterinary care to their customers by opening pet hospitals in their stores. Early on, Mars Incorporated, a family‐owned business, realized JV Pet’s potential and made a commitment to support our vision of providing collaborative care and support to our patients and clients. Today, we're more than 770 hospitals strong.
