I've been taking my dog here for about a year now. Now that has changed due to the lack of service knowledge and professionalism of the front desk. ( 2 Asian women). Since I walked in they have been a bad vibe and very unpleasant to talk to. Im not the type to write reviews unless I feel that a place makes you feel ripped off. If I'm going to pay for your services better have a better attitude about it.
Before you do anything here make sure you get an estimate or quote before you take your dog in. They are very misleading here. The 2 Asian women at the front desk made me never want to come back. Good job.

I have been a client of Arguello for many years and have received excellent care for both my dogs. Everyone there is competent, attentive and responsive to questions. Dr Jamie Ina is experienced, a great diagnostician, and explains things very in a complete and understandable way.

This place is the best. We got our first dog as independent adults at the San Francisco SPCA and were lucky enough to live near by at the time. Arguello Pet Hospital has been kind, thorough and understanding the entire time. 10 years later and no matter where we have moved in the Bay Area we make the trip back here every time. Being able to trust your vet is so important when our pets can't always communicate what is wrong clearly.
I trust Arguello Pet Hospital completely and I'm so grateful that I found a place I feel comfortable enough to do that. They might be a little pricey at times, but you get what you pay for and here that means high quality veterinary care. It is worth every penny knowing my dog is getting the best care possible.

We switched our dog to Arguello from another vet in the area and the difference has been night and day. The staff are friendly and super responsive, and they take great care of our pup. Plus he loves all the treats!

Been taking our two Malteses here for years. Staff (front desk, vet techs and more) are always courteous and understanding of our pets' needs, and they are professional and kind. They strive for a stress-less experience which matters. We've met with a few vets there, and we've had positive experiences each time. Dr. Ina is our primary vet, and she is amazing in her approach with our dogs and with us.
She is thorough, calm, extremely knowledgeable and genuine. Our pups are almost 13 yo now, and we appreciate Dr. Ina and the Arguello team for being a solid partner in helping our pups live the best quality of life we can provide.
