Veterinarians in Marina del Rey, CA

“We’ve been seeing Dr Blair since 2019. She’s wonderful with our two boys. She’s seen us through a major illness (stomatitis) with one of our cats, and referred us out to a specialist to do a full mouth dental extraction. She’s extremely knowledgeable and provides measured medical advice (ie, I’ve never felt pressured or like they’re trying to bilk me for every possible up charge). Her team is extremely competent and kind.”

“Dr. Dubin is wonderfully caring and thorough. She’s always responsive to emails and takes the time to explain things in a way that even an anxious pet parent can feel reassured and supported!”

“The staff at Vetco is incredibly helpful, and the vet is superb very knowledgeable and genuinely caring with the animals. I really appreciate the level of care and professionalism.

The only downside is that they’re only open on Sundays. Since it’s located right next to Costco, parking can be a real challenge. Getting in and out can be quite stressful due to the heavy traffic in the area.”

“We had such a great experience here. The entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. My dog is very anxious, and they went out of their way to make him feel comfortable—taking their time, speaking gently, and never rushing us.

You can truly tell they care about the animals. It made such a difference to feel heard and supported, especially with a nervous pup. We left feeling relieved and grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a compassionate, friendly vet”

“I cannot say enough thank you to Dr. Lim and Animal Wellness Center for the incredible care they provided for our very senior dog, Mook. He was suddenly diagnosed with severe kidney disease, and our previous vet recommended either euthanasia or trying hospitalization at an emergency hospital. However, due to his heart murmur, there was a concern that his heart wouldn’t hold up under the stress of IV fluids. We were looking for a private clinic rather than a big corporate vet, so we decided to visit Animal Wellness Center, which also offers acupuncture.

Dr. Lim suggested a unique approach of daytime-only hospitalization during office hours. While we were worried about Mook’s heart, we trusted Dr. Lim, who took the time to explain everything thoroughly.

Thanks to their incredible care, Mook has recovered well, and now, five months later, he’s still running around happily. We know our time with him may be limited, but we’re so grateful for the extra time we’ve had with him—time that we wouldn’t have had if we had gone the other route. We are truly thankful for the compassionate care we received here.”
