SHANE VETERINARY MEDICAL CENTER

What SHANE VETERINARY MEDICAL CENTER does

Shane Veterinary Medical Center is a privately held, full-service veterinary hospital founded in 2008 and located at 4816 Lincoln Blvd in Marina del Rey, California. Operating 7 days a week, the practice serves individual pet owners in Marina del Rey and surrounding Westside Los Angeles communities, offering preventive care (vaccinations, wellness exams, parasite prevention), urgent and emergency care, dental services, surgery (including soft tissue, orthopedic, and spay/neuter), diagnostics (lab, radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy), and specialty care spanning internal medicine, cardiology, and ophthalmology. The hospital operates as a locally led member of the PetVet Care Centers network, which spans 420+ hospitals and 11,000+ team members nationwide.

The practice differentiates through an integrative medicine model that combines conventional veterinary care with complementary therapies, including Cold Laser Therapy for pain management and tissue repair, veterinary acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal treatments available via an online TCVM partner site. Technology integrations are limited to operational rather than clinical innovation: online appointment booking, an FDA-regulated online pharmacy powered by Covetrus with AutoShip subscription fulfillment, and digital patient intake forms.

The business model is primarily transactional professional services revenue: per-visit exams, surgical and diagnostic procedures, vaccinations, and specialty consultations, supplemented by recurring pharmacy and therapeutic diet revenue through the Covetrus partnership. The practice employs approximately 13 staff including veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians, doctor assistants, and care coordinators, with advertised compensation including associate veterinarian salaries of $180,000-$200,000 plus quarterly production bonuses and signing/retention/relocation packages up to $75,000. Promotional pricing (a $25 first-exam special, monthly 50%-off vaccine clinics, and up to 40%-off spay/neuter clinics) is used to drive new-patient acquisition and downstream wellness revenue.
