Dr. Navneet Saini is a Bay Area native and a second-generation veterinarian. She grew up thinking that her dad had the coolest job and decided that she wanted to follow in his footsteps and pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She attended UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and acquired her DVM in 2019. Following graduation, Dr. Saini completed two rigorous internships at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and VCA Animal Specialty and Emergency Center (ASEC). These experiences inspired her to pursue a career in internal medicine where she could help pet parents navigate complex case workups and support them throughout chronic disease care. She completed a residency in small animal internal medicine at the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2024 and became board-certified later that year.
Her personal philosophy is that the pet parent is a vital member of the healthcare team, and she enjoys empowering clients to take charge of their pet’s care. Her interests include endocrinopathies (hormonal disorders like diabetes mellitus), kidney disease, and infectious diseases. She also has received specialized training in minimally invasive removal of uroliths (bladder stones).
Outside of work, Dr. Saini enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking and eating delicious food, international travel, and cuddling her calico cat, Mimi, and miniature dachshund, Kiki.

President’s Statement — September 2025
Dear Colleagues,
As summer winds down and we move into fall, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the upcoming fire season. Each year, wildfires remind us of the vital role veterinarians can play in disaster preparedness and response. For those of you who may be interested, I encourage you to consider volunteering with the California Veterinary Medical Reserve Corps (CAVMRC). This dedicated group of veterinary professionals helps provide care for animals during emergencies, and participation is both impactful and deeply rewarding.
The CAVMRC is also offering an upcoming virtual low-cost continuing education opportunity on October 26. This is a great way to stay current while supporting the important work of this organization. Details on how to get involved and register for the fall training at this link: https://cavmrc.net/volunteer-for-the-cavmrc
In addition, our partners at the San Francisco Department of Public Health have provided us with an update on the current status of avian influenza (HPAI) and its local implications. This is an evolving situation, and I look forward to passing along their insights to keep our community informed and prepared.
