San Francisco SPCA Veterinary Hospital

SF SPCA had been the vet of our little Shiba for almost 2 years and they are just awesome. The staff is super careful and pay attention to your pets. The health of your pet comes first. Last time we went they spent an hour to make sure our dog was fear free to get her shots. Price is also to be considered, they are way less expensive than other vet which can’t be as trusted as SF SPCA. If you’re looking for a vet, do not hesitate.

It ended up costing way more than I was expecting, but all in all was a good experience. They were great with my dog and very understanding of her and what we needed. Anthony Rodriguez, the very tech, was super awesome and even added up everything before we received services, so we knew what we could get and what we could not. Also very knowledgeable and made us aware of what reactions my dog could face after receiving shots.

This review is for our experience from November 2021 to February 2022. Overall, it was a pretty bad experience here for my dog, Monte, and I. I came here upon recommendation of a few friends when I moved to San Francisco, but I ultimately went back to my old vet in Fremont. If you’re just looking for a place to take your dog at an affordable rate, I guess this would be it. Two stars instead of one because it is affordable compared to most vets in SF, and the facilities were big, lots of space. The appointments felt very rushed and the vets and techs could never answer my questions clearly, there was always uncertainty. Two particular bad experiences were; 1) a tech attempted to draw blood from my dog’s leg, she stopped suddenly after poking the needle into his leg, got up and said she couldn’t do it, she needed to get someone else. My dog was already anxious by her being so anxious with him. 2) a vet claimed my dog had many broken teeth and he needed dental surgery immediately. She brushed off my questions and handed me a brochure. It was after this appointment that I went back to my old vet, who said Monte’s teeth were fine.

Look - there’s a vet shortage nationwide. The folks here are doing the best they can with what they’ve got. We’ve received top notch care here for both of our cats (one with special needs), which is saying something since one of them is extra spicy! There have been blips in customer service from the front desk, but they deal with emotional crazed pet parents all day long (myself included) so in my mind they deserve hazard pay which I’m sure they’re not getting. So I’ll forgive any inconvenience because of that. Oh, and pet insurance through the ASPCA is processed super quickly when they see you went to an SPCA hospital. So if that’s something you’re worried about, go that route for sure.

Great place to pick up a loyal companion. Also the month of August is free adoptions all month long.
