Dr. Harpreet Chahal

Owner/Veterinarian
Dr. Harpreet Chahal grew up on a farm in India, where animal care was a natural part of life from her earliest memories. As she grew a bit older, she began to develop a fascination with the sciences. For Dr. Chahal, combining her passion for pets and her medical interests simply made sense — she’s known ever since she was a little girl that she would one day help animals as a veterinarian!
Dr. Chahal began her veterinary studies in 1996 at the Punjab Agricultural University in India, completing internships in large and small animal internal medicine during her studies. She joined the Veterinary Epidemiology Department at the university, studying various epidemic diseases that affect pets, before moving to the United States in 2002. Dr. Chahal earned her master’s degree in veterinary sciences in 2004 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and she explored the worlds of exotic care and microbiology. After becoming a licensed veterinarian in the States, she relocated to the Bay Area in 2007 and has been practicing here ever since — she purchased Dublin Veterinary Hospital in 2011 to provide the community with her brand of client-centered, personalized, and compassionate care.
Around the clinic, Dr. Chahal particularly likes performing dental work and helping pets feel better with great dermatological care. She’s also fond of internal medicine cases, pain management, and surgical procedures. Most of all, she likes to meet new pet owners and their beloved companions every day!
When time permits away from the hospital, Dr. Chahal loves painting landscapes, reading good books, and spending quality time at home with her husband, daughter and son.

Megan Palkoner

RVT

Hi there! I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician and have been lucky enough to work in this amazing field since 2021. My love for animals started way back. I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats, so caring for furry (and feathery!) friends has always come naturally. These days, I share my home with two sweet and sassy cockatiels who definitely run the show. I’m passionate about making animals feel safe, loved, and cared for—whether it’s during a routine check-up or a more serious visit.  I especially love doing diagnostics and dental cleanings! Helping pets and their people is truly the best part of my job!

Regan Jones

Veterinary Assistant

Hey, I’m Regan! I’ve been a vet assistant at Dublin Veterinary Hospital since July 2023. My furry family includes my polydactyl cat, Polly, and pit bull-Shih Tzu mix, Ace. Working here has given me a special love for chihuahuas, as most of my clients know. When I’m not caring for animals, I love to read, go to concerts, or experiment with fun hair colors.

Lillian Holley

Veterinary Assistant

Hey! I’ve been part of the team since 2024 and have always had a deep love for animals of all kinds. I share my home with my husband, Logan, and cat, Kenny, but don’t worry—I’m just as crazy about dogs, too! Whether they bark, purr, or anything in between, I’m dedicated to providing every pet with exceptional care, kindness, and comfort. I’m working towards becoming a registered veterinary technician in the near future. My favorite things are analyzing the results from blood tests and being able to help Dr.Chahal diagnose what is going on with your fur babies. Preventative care is something I am also passionate about. I feel truly lucky to help make a difference in the lives of the animals and the people who love them.

Maritza Romero

Veterinary Assistant

Hi, my name is Maritza, and I’m a veterinary assistant with a lifelong passion for animals. I grew up on a farm, where being surrounded by livestock sparked my love for animal care from a young age. That early connection inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from Chico State, and I’ll be attending veterinary school at Ana G. Méndez University, where I plan to earn my DVM. I’ve been fortunate to gain hands-on experience working with livestock, wildlife, and domestic animals, which has shaped me into a compassionate and well-rounded caregiver. I’m excited to continue growing in this field and to one day provide accessible, high-quality veterinary care to the families and communities that need it most.

Breanna Weber

Veterinary Assistant

Hi, my name is Breanna! I’ve been working in the veterinary field for about a year, and I’ll be starting veterinary school at Kansas State University this fall. I’m especially passionate about exotic and aquatic animal medicine and look forward to exploring those areas further during my studies. Prior to this position, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Marine Science with a minor in Chemistry from Cal State, Monterey Bay. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, working out, playing video games, and spending time with my family and friends. I have two dogs, Mac and Pedro, who always keep things interesting!
