San Francisco Pet Hospital is a long-standing SF institution built on love and professionalism. I have trusted them with my puppy, my chimix with complicated health issues, my cat who always has weird cat behavior, and my other cat who has other, different weird cat behaviors. Dr. Leyba and the whole crew at are always happy to see us, figure out the latest enigma, and sort out all the little details that add up to the best care for our pets.

Dr. Villard is a wonderful veterinarian he's knowledgeable, and provided clear guidance. Dr. Villard was extremely accommodating and supportive of me and my Foxy. My baby is like my child. I felt so worried and he made me feel comfortable in a highly stressful situation, also my Foxy has a history of seizures brought on with any anxiety or noises, she too felt comfortable in his hands.

I feel very lucky to have Dr. Villard as my doctor for Foxy. He's been my veterinarian since 2009 and has always treated my Foxy with great care. Thank you The front desk also was very professional and helpful.

Been taking our cat to SF Pet Hospital for over a year. They are always professional, take the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions, and overall take great care of our animal. Highly recommend.

We've had our furry-faced family members seen here for years. Over good times and bad times, the doctors, vet techs and staff all provide outstanding service. Using a winning combination of skill, compassion and great communication, we feel lucky to have this hospital in our neighborhood.

We love SF Pet Hospital! Dr. Christina Geldert was absolutely amazing at our last visit as we try to address some issues our puppy is having--but she gave us compassionate, knowledgeable, and clear guidance!

Every person I came in contact with was a pleasure and joy! Baggins and I felt very welcomed I especially appreciate the kind women at the front desk who made an accommodation for me to keep my appointment after finding several emails from the vet in my junk/spam folder. Thank you so much!

I had an excellent 1st-time experience. All staff from front desk to techs to Dr. Villard were extremely accommodating and supportive of me and my 86 lb reactive mutt. Thank you for making us feel safe and welcome!

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I know vet offices are so stressful and busy and I really appreciate everyone's care so much. I appreciate the thoughtfulness about which exams are necessary at this point in my cat's life/health status. Some vets seem to want to do every test under the sun and it can feel like a cash grab which has not been my experience at SF Pet Hospital.
