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.
