Dr. Dossey earned certification by the Chi Institute in Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2014, and is excited to offer both holistic treatment options for your pet, as well as traditional veterinary medicine.

Dr. Janelle Castillo has been with Town & Country Veterinary Hospital since 2020. She was born and raised in the Bay Area and has always wanted to work in a profession that would challenge her and keep her thinking. Coupled with her love for animals, the veterinary profession seemed to be the perfect fit. In 2014 she received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences. She is also a wife, a pet parent to Penny, a Pitbull mix, and Eleven, a Terrier mix, and a mother to three young children. On her days not spent practising veterinary medicine, she enjoys quality time with her family (four-legged and two-legged) and has recently developed a love for indoor plants.
