Been using Marano Animal Hospital for the five years that I’ve been here and Venice I’ve tried others, but this is the most superior in knowledge and remedies and just general care. I remain loyal. View on Google (opens in new tab)

Dr. Jason and his staff have taken care of our fur kids for years. We appreciate his expertise and caring for our family from when we first adopted our babies until their final moments. I cannot say enough good things about them. View on Google (opens in new tab)
