I brought my dog, Willy, in today to be seen, and the entire team was welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked through the door. The doctor was super thorough during his exam and took the time to answer all my questions.
To top it off, I found out they offer grooming right in the clinic! I met their groomer while we were there and immediately got Willy on the schedule.
So convenient to have expert veterinary care and grooming under one roof. Highly recommend!
After over 35+ Years, we found ourselves needing to find a new Veterinarian when one of our Dogs (Elly) developed an issue just months after Her last routine check-up. Our prior Vet had since retired and we will just say, things at the place we had been going to for many years had changed.
Based on a referral from a friend that had taken their Pets to Dr. Sandra Welsh for many years, we decided it was time to see if Dr. Welsh was a good fit for our Family.
My wife went online as was able to quickly and conveniently schedule a visit.
When we walked in, the facility was very Clean, Welcoming, and the Team at the front desk very attentive in greeting us.
Once checked in, we were quickly greeted by a Veterinarian Technician that took us to a room. She was very professional and thorough in both asking us questions and listening as we provided information.
Shortly after the Tech. left the room, Dr. Welsh arrived.
After an initial greeting, the attention to detail by the Tech. was evident. Dr. Welsh did not need to rehash a bunch of questions. She had detailed notes provided by the Tech. and we were able to quickly dive into more details without feeling like we had just been through all the initial information already.
As Dr. Welsh started to examine our Dog (15 ½ Years old) she had an excellent “bed side manner”. As she was examining our Girl, she was openly talking to us as to what she was looking for, observing, and asking us additional questions as needed. At no point did the visit seem rushed or the focus strictly on a single symptom / issue without taking into consideration all possible factors.
Once she was done, she was very clear in her thoughts & findings as well as a recommended course of treatment, along with timelines as to what to expect and what to keep an eye on to ensure we started to get our Girl heading in the right direction.
After a quick in house Lab Test to confirm a few of her findings, all needed medications were available on-site and the planned course of treatment was again reviewed to ensure we had no questions.
After Dr. Welsh was done, another Team member came in to review our visit and all related charges where we could talk and settle our bill in private. We did not have to try and conduct business in a lobby where other Pets could create a distraction or a possible tense situation while trying to “check-out”.
We were 100% pleased with our initial visit to City Vet | Marvin and have taken steps to transition both our Dog’s ongoing care to the Team at City Vet.
If you need a Veterinarian or looking to make a change, we highly recommend the Team @ City Vet.
Lastly, we learned in addition to Dr. Sandra Welsh, there are two other Veterinarians on the Team @ City Vet | Marvin.
Dr. Kelly More (30+ years of experience), and Dr. Anna Welsh (that is in an amazing environment to grow and help meet the needs of our Pets well into the future.)
To us, this means a Team of both seasoned and up and coming Veterinarians ready to help not just us, but each other as they care for the wellbeing of our Dogs.

Why does my dog snore? 🐾💤
Short answer: snoring happens when airflow gets partially blocked in your dog`s nose or throat during sleep, causing tissue to vibrate. It`s usually harmless — but not always.
Common causes:
Breed: flat-faced dogs like Pugs, Bulldogs & Boxers snore more due to shorter airways
Sleep position: snoozing on their back can block airflow
Weight & age: extra fat or looser throat muscles narrow the airway
Allergies: dust, pollen & smoke can irritate nasal passages
Medical issues: infections, respiratory problems, or sleep apnea
When to worry: sudden/louder snoring, labored breathing while awake, or snoring + coughing, discharge, or appetite changes.
Not sure if it`s normal? Book a visit, and we`ll help you (and your pup) sleep easy.
