Dr. Cheryl Wood - Veterinarian in Winnetka, CA - Pet Vet Animal Hospital
DVM

Veterinarian

I was born and raised in beautiful and sunny Southern California, and my love for animals started early—I knew by the age of seven that I wanted to become a veterinarian. After graduating from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, I completed an internship at the Animal Specialty and Emergency Clinic in West Los Angeles. Although I originally planned to pursue a surgical residency, I discovered that my true passion lies in general practice. I enjoy the opportunity to perform soft tissue surgery and dentistry, practice internal medicine, provide wellness care, and build meaningful relationships with both clients and their pets.

Following additional dental training in Baltimore, MD, I began my career in Orange County, where I practiced from 2008 to 2025. I have since moved to Los Angeles and am excited to serve the wonderful community of Winnetka and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I love birding (birdwatching), hiking, running, and practicing pilates and yoga. I also cherish spending quality time with my friends and family.

I am happily married to my husband, Casey, and I am thrilled to be part of the Pet Vet Animal Hospital team.
