About Us

Sarah Fennig, DVM

Hello my name is Sarah Fennig and I am the owner of Family Veterinary Services. I want to introduce myself to those that may not know me. I was born and raised here in Celina, Ohio. I graduated from Celina High School in 2001 and then furthered my education at The Ohio State University getting my bachelors degree in 2005. My Doctor of Veterinary Medicine was completed at Ross University in 2010. I came back to my home roots and worked as a mixed animal veterinarian at Celina Animal Hospital. In April of 2013 I married Ryan Fennig from Celina and we reside in Coldwater, ohio with show cows and a dog named Emmit. We have 3 beautiful daughters: Addison, Elyse, and Amelia. We believe in strong family values and the amazing support we get from our family.

I have realized that over the last 10 years of me being a veterinarian that my clients have become more than just a number but family! I treat every patient that I see as if they are my own and that standard of care is what I pride in. I am primarily a small animal veterinarian now with a wide variety of skill sets and open to new alternatives. There is no set protocol for every patient but they are all so different from each other that each patient requires their own specific treatment that works both for the patient and you the client. I hope that I will be part of the future with each one of you and want you to feel like part of the Family Veterinary Services family.
