Shane Veterinary Medical Center

Tucked right in the heart of Marina del Rey, Shane Veterinary practice is a rare gem—warm, personal, and genuinely devoted to the animals they care for. What sets it apart immediately is its intimate scale. Instead of feeling like you’re being rushed through a massive, impersonal operation, you’re met with a level of attention that only a smaller, more thoughtful practice can provide. Dr. Testa embodies everything you hope to find in a veterinarian. When I brought in Max, my cat, she didn’t reach for an exam table or try to force him into a clinical pose. Instead, she settled onto a soft rug, invited Max to explore at his own pace, played with him, and even scooped him into a gentle hug before beginning his exam. Only after he was fully at ease did she start evaluating him—right there on

Shane Veterinary has been my vet for over 12 years and I've never had issues with the Drs & staff there. They always treat me, my dogs with kindness. Even in the worst of times, they were compassionate, thorough. They detail concerns (if any), itemize, offer options (with cost) to help you with decisions if needed. I trust my most prized possession 🐾 with Shane Veterinary. Thank you. Donna

July 2025 Marina del Rey, Calif...The super smart lady Vet helped my Dearest Floyd boy and I, SO much..15.75 Red Labrador...She sat on the floor with him, and did not rush us at all...Did not try to upsell anything! She was so caring and honest, in our most dire time of need..My entire bill was barely over $120...Highly recommend this Vet!..Thanks so much for the care and honesty for us..super appreciated!!..Much Love, Patrick Zierden

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
