About San Francisco SPCA Veterinary Hospital
The San Francisco SPCA Veterinary Hospital is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals since 1868. As the largest animal shelter in the Bay Area, it is known for being the first cageless shelter in the United States. The hospital receives praise for its prompt and professional office personnel, who are courteous and concerned about the pets they treat. They provide consistent, accommodating, and caring service in a stress-free clinic. The staff is understanding of pet needs, knowledgeable about potential reactions, and transparent about services and costs. The hospital is commended for its excellent care and consultation, as evidenced by a long-term customer whose 14-year-old dog has been receiving treatment since 2012. Specifically, the veterinary technician, Anthony Rodriguez, is highlighted for his exceptional service and attentiveness. Customers appreciate the reasonable costs, with a vet visit around $110 and vaccinations around $50 each. The hospital's non-profit status and commitment to helping and saving animals are also praised. Customers have had positive experiences with same-day appointments and clear post-surgery guidance. The staff, particularly Dr. Leung, are described as compassionate and understanding, even in cases where a pet may exhibit unusual behavior.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to the medical team at SPCA for providing such world-class, empathetic, compassionate care to my previous love bug, Chestnut.
He had a critical medical episode due to an underlying condition. I called them ahead of my arriving and they were fully prepared for my arrival, remembered my cat’s name from the call hours before, and acted swiftly to stabilize him.
The veterinarian came in to deliver the news I was sadly expecting, but did it in such a way that honored the decision I knew I needed to make. They gave me all the time in the world to feed him delicious treats and a final meal, hold him, sing to him, and then...read full review
Today we had to put our beloved cat to sleep. We have always been happy with the care at spca (although I am a little disappointed that she was diagnosed incorrectly last week and went through a further week of pain for what was her third visit for same issue). This review is specifically for dr Lindsay Wilson who rapidly figured out what was going on. Although the outcome was heartbreaking her kind and compassionate manner and professionalism throughout was nothing short of stellar. As a human healthcare professional I know how important true compassion is and we were so blessed to have Lindsay handle this difficult situation. Thank you, you made a difference today!
We love the vets at SPCA! A vet visit is around $110. Vaccinations are around $50 each. We've had situations where something has come up with our dog and they've just advised us over the phone free of charge. They even said "You can come in and pay $160 for an urgent visit but there isn't much we can do for the condition and will just send you home." In more urgent situations, it's been easy to get a same day appointment just with calling. I also like supporting their hospital since it's a non profit and proceeds go back to helping and saving animals.
