About Us

The Heart Of Wellhaven

WellHaven was born of the conviction that each veterinary team member and pet parent makes a difference when it comes to the profession as a whole. Because when we all work together, our pets get better care and feel loved. That, to us, is what it’s all about.

Well people, well pets, well practice and well community are what guide us, and are the heart of everything we do.

From that simple concept, our partnerships have grown to more than 40 hospitals throughout five states. And there’s always room for more in the WellHaven family.

Well People

We believe in the wellbeing of people and pets, and that starts with making sure vets have a good work/life balance so they can focus on their patients. With opportunities… for advanced training, outstanding benefits, flexible schedules (4-day work weeks), campus support (SPECIES and EAP), and a bottom-up consultative approach. We give our vets full autonomy and allow them to provide the local leadership of the clinic.

Well Pets

With superior facilities, equipment, technological support, and AAHA credentials, pets will receive the best care. Our doctors take the lead on all local clinic decisions and… professional development is encouraged. We’ve embraced Fear Free to put pets at ease and offer Wellness Plans to make things as easy as possible for their parents.

Well Practice

We take care of all business aspects of your practice so you can focus on the patients. By handling finance (payroll, accounts payable and receivable), purchasing, HR,… marketing, and IT tasks, our vets are able to focus on pet care. We encourage professional growth, continuing education, certifications, and personal growth in the community.

Well Community

You’ve spent your career building a practice and you don’t want to see it fall into “corporate” hands. We value your dedication to families, their pets, and the community and want… to preserve your legacy. This includes partnering with rescue shelters and nonprofits such as Pet Peace of Mind, working with neighborhood events, and collaborating with professional communities such as AAHA, AVMA, NAVTA, and more.

Community News

As Seen on KATU!

Bob Lester, DVM, Chief Medical Officer for WellHaven Pet Health and his team of Veterinarians, joins AM Northwest to talk about keeping both pets and people healthy during Covid-19. In addition to talking about steps taken to keep everyone safe, he also discusses how our Wellness Programs can help during uncertain economic times.

Number one, I love pets. I love helping them – That’s why we’re here at WellHaven. And I love client education. Taking somebody from their first new pet and seeing it to the geriatric age and seeing that progression of them learning through the years of what to expect. And then seeing them with a new pet. They’re not new pet owners anymore. It’s great.

Brian / Certified Veterinary Technician

My favorite thing about being a Veterinary Technician at WellHaven is the camaraderie of our team above all. We gel together. It’s not necessarily just tasks, it’s more of a fluid, everybody helps everybody kind of thing. If you’re free you’re helping out.

Tanner / Certified Veterinary Technician

At WellHaven, we all come from different backgrounds and we have different life experiences, and yet we’re able to come together and deliver excellent patient care, work together, and be a wholehearted team. It’s really hard to find that. And I feel like we’ve got that here at our house and it all boils down to taking care of the patient.
