San Marin Animal Hospital

At San Marin Animal Hospital, we believe your pets deserve the same level of care, attention, and compassion we would give our own. As a leading veterinary hospital in Novato, CA, our team is dedicated to providing thoughtful, high-quality medical care for dogs and cats at every stage of life

San Marin Animal Hospital’s story is one built on friendship, mentorship, and a shared passion for animal care. In May 2015, Bennett and Williams Veterinary Corporation purchased the hospital, bringing together a partnership that began years earlier. Dr. Jeff Williams first met Dr. Erin Bennett when she worked as a technician in a Southern Marin veterinary hospital. Inspired by Dr. Williams’ mentorship, Dr. Bennett pursued her dream of becoming a veterinarian. Years later, their paths came full circle as they joined forces to lead San Marin Animal Hospital together. Their vision for a collaborative, relationship-focused practice quickly grew with the addition of Dr. Monica Ortiz and Dr. Polly James, who shared their commitment to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. Together, this team has built a practice centered on trust, teamwork, and a deep dedication to the well-being of every patient. In November 2025, they partnered with Western Veterinary Partners to further elevate their client services and communication, ensuring an even more refined and exemplary experience

Mission — Our goal is simple: to treat every pet as if it were our own while supporting pet owners with clear guidance, honest recommendations, and exceptional service at every visit
