Kiran Chaudhary, DVM

Veterinarian, Owner

Dr. Kiran Chaudhary, owner of Del Valle Pet Hospital, has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Bay Area for the last 15 years. She worked as a veterinarian in Vancouver, Canada, for 4 years before moving to California in 2010. Her goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive veterinary care, guidance, and support through all of life’s stages. She emphasises on preventative care and enjoys all facets of primary care, including internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and dentistry.

When she is not practicing veterinary medicine, she loves spending time with her family and can be found hiking with her husband and their adopted Border collie Oreo. Their son graduated from UC Davis and is now busy building technology to make life easy for veterinarians. Their daughter is a sophomore in college. The family loves exploring the great California outdoors, and Oreo, who clearly runs the show, finds new ways to keep everyone entertained.

Dr. Chaudhary is passionate and works tirelessly with her team, taking pride in being available for her patients’ urgent care needs. She at DelValle Pet Hospital is thrilled to offer a team-wide effort to improve the lives of pets and the people that care for them.

Ernestina Ramirez, DVM

Veterinarian

Dr Ramirez grew up in San Jose and began her career in veterinary medicine very young, at 15 years old, by completing a veterinary assisting program during high school, and then began working in veterinary clinics as an assistant when she was 16. She has always been passionate about veterinary medicine, and it was her childhood dream to become a veterinarian.

She obtained her BA in Science at San Francisco State University and then went to veterinary school at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and Nevis. She completed her clinical year at Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. 

She currently has five pets who are the light of her life, two dogs and three cats. Her dogs are Koda, an 8-year-old goldendoodle, and Lucas, an 8ish-year-old “coconut retriever”. The cats are Marmu, Krispy, and Kreme. She also intermittently fosters animals who are homeless/injured and in need of intensive care. When she is not at the hospital, she enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, or crafting.

Jacqueline McCool, DVM

Veterinarian

Dr. Jacqueline McCool grew up in southern Florida. She realized at the age of nine that she wanted to become a veterinarian to help as many animals as possible after her first cat, Papillion, was hit by a car and passed away.

She attended Auburn University in Alabama for both undergraduate studies and vet school. She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in June 1991. She practiced in Florida for one year then moved to California to be closer to her family.

She has practiced in Livermore, CA since August 1995 and purchased Del Valle Pet Hospital in September 2000. She is a member of American Animal Hospital Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, California Veterinary Medical Association and American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Her two children, Ryan and Caitlin are also animal lovers. They currently share their home with a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix named Guinness, a Cavelier named Jameson, and care for multiple neighborhood cats. When she is not working, Dr. McCool enjoys working out and doing outdoor activities with her family.
