Irving Pet Hospital

I am so pleased that I found Irving pet hospital, they are so amazing when I had to say goodbye to my 23 year old kitty they were so kind. And so respectful, and helpful. And then when my baby Fharra got sick they really helped me out with her they explained everything and they didn’t force me into a bunch of tests to bring my bill so high that I didn’t know what to do. They understood that not everyone can afford everything. But they helped us figure things out for her. She got the care she needed. I thank them so much if you ever need a great pet hospital call Irving pet hospital you won’t regret it. Your fur babies will get the best care there. Thank you for all you do, and all your support and help you gave me when I needed it.

I have been coming here since 2007 for my first cat and two second cats, and would never want to go anywhere else. I had a 4pm appointment today for my 10 yo senior cat Talia who’s been having upper respiratory issue for nearly a week, and needed to see the vet asap. I called in the AM to see if we could go in earlier, and they were able to accommodate our need. We got there 20 min after the phone call. The person I spoke to was very kind, pleasant, accommodating and friendly. We were soon seen by Dr. Tumang today. Sadly, I couldn’t afford the treatment plan of $1250 recommended that will include x-rays, full blood work, etc.,. So we decided to get only the treatment that is urgently needed at the moment. I’m just happy that they are so accommodating and never pushy with getting you to spend $$$$ for treatments. The staff were great! Carmen, the nurse was wonderful and caring. I couldn’t believe that She gave my cat the much needed shaving on her bum for FREE! And she was so kind and patiently showed me how to administer the nasal spray. Thank you so much Carmen! I wish there were more nurses, doctors, and people like you! We came home and Talia seemed to be looking better already. Thank you again…

We LOVE Irving Pet Hospital! The staff are so attentive, caring, and proactive with our dog's care. They've been really generous with answering our questions and always alert us when he's due for care. You can tell that the staff truly love animals and try to make their vet trips as pleasant as possible. They're very patient with our dog and even sent home this cookie after his latest visit.

Started going here last year and they have been great. Taking great care of my cat Waffles. Love my interactions with the Vet. Friendly and informative.

We are big fans of Dr. Fong and Irving Pet Hospital! Our rescue dog is very fearful, but Dr. Fong has been great at handling him. Dr. Fong is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He has a jolly attitude and makes the vet process fun. We appreciate his thoroughness with the annual check ups.

When we encountered a possible health issue, Dr. Fong laid out multiple options, gave the pros/cons, and advised what he would do for his dog. Irving Pet Hospital has worked hard to expand their clinic -- so they can have more space and support more animals. We're lucky to have a pet hospital that is so passionate about animals. Keep up the great work!

We have been going to Irving pet hospital for 6 years starting when we got our Corgi Easton. We brought him in when he was 2 months old and at that time, we saw Dr Jessica Lau. We were very fond of her but Dr Jessica left a year ago.We haven't been in but had to go to urgent care recently because Easton was having pain. I called in and spoke to April who was very sympathetic and helpful with what I needed to do. I went in 20 mins later and asked to see Dr Joe Fong who had wonderful praises on Yelp. I went in and Dr Joe told me that he might be suffering from arthritis because he's overweight. He gave us medication for the pain and told us to put him on a diet. It's been 5 days of medication and he seems to be doing much better. They checked in on us in the meantime also. Dr Joe was so easygoing and made me feel better because I had been so worried about my fur baby. Thank you to Dr Joe and April

We love Irving Pet hospital! We have been coming here for years and now have had three dogs under their care. We have seen a number of doctors and other staff and they have all been excellent and treated our dogs with so much love and care

We are thrilled to have Dr Joe Fong care for our new puppy Great Dane! Dr. Fong is knowledgeable and is good with giant breed dogs and I’m sure he’s also wonderful with any of your pets. He cared for our two other Great Danes back in the ‘90’s when he was at Arguello Pet Hospital. With Covid, he FaceTimed us on our iPhone while we waited in our car. It’s also very convenient in that Irving Pet Hospital has a few dedicated parking spaces for drive up. We highly recommend Dr Fong for your pet’s medical needs. The staff at his office is also very courteous and attentive!!

Excellent service, clear directions on aftercare. Dog had a serious series of hot spots. Helped with short and long term solutions.

I like the continuity of care at Irving Pet. I was sad to see Dr. Bettada leave but I felt really well taken care of by Dr. Kartashova. The clinic staff is friendly as always. I'm glad we've found a good veterinary clinic for Peanut.

Great care, fast availability, reasonable costs as well. Love all the vets my cat has seen here so far. They also have lots of meds and foods that are offered at market price. Will continue to go here as long as I live in SF.

Took my dog Apollo here 6 years ago for puppie shots and treatment and it was my first time needing vet care since. They took him within a few hours notice, super friendly and he was better within a day. Highly recommend!

I brought Patti into urgent care walk-in hours and I was distraught. My senior fur baby had been behaving out of character and I was so worried for her. Even though they were at capacity, they still made an exception and took Patti in for an exam and some tests. I was so relieved and Patti has been doing much better with some meds helping her with her arthritis and pain. I CAN’T THANK IRVING HOSPITAL enough! Everyone from the receptionist to vet techs to the vet who attended to us- everyone was so compassionate and patient with this worried dog mama. I’m so grateful!

We’ve been taking our dogs here for over a dozen years. It really is a very well managed and considerate practice. The tech and nursing staff members are courteous, professional and great with the animals. The vets are knowledgable and very communicative. They are pet and owner focused in all the care they give. The practice also has a web / phone system to help keep up with appointments, immunizations, and messages. Overall, I feel like the connection we have with Dr Fong and his practice is so fundamental to the what we enjoy about working with them. This really has shown during the past year with the pandemic and how hard they worked to keep services available while keeping staff and customers safe! Great general practice for our dogs!

I adopted my foster dog last year and needed a vet in the hood after she was attacked by another dog at Ocean Beach. Irving Pet Hospital was able to examine her immediately. She needed several stitches and follow-up care. They were professional, responsive and affordable. Just had an annual check up with Dr. Bettada. Due to Covid clients drop off the pet and wait in designated parking spaces outside the clinic. The Dr. called during the examination to discuss my pet's health. It was a seamless process. They are excellent at dealing with my dog and her extreme anxiety. I would recommend this vet practice and am thankful they can look after my fur baby.

I've been going here for three years and I finally got a chance to go inside and meet everyone since COVID restrictions have gone away. The vet tech, Kai (sp?), was so kind and told me all about their cats and the vet actually sat down with me to discuss my animal's issues and what to do with them. Overall, I had a lovely experience and feel that the staff are both kind to my cats and knowledgeable about their conditions. Thank you!

To say we LOVE Dr. Fong would be an understatement! He has taken such good care of our Dog Panda and we wouldn't trust Panda to anyone but Dr. Fong. He's gentle, professional, caring and always takes the time to ensure we understand what is going on. We now bring our new puppy Buster to see him as well. The staff is always friendly and work hard to be as helpful as possible. We absolutely LOVE Irving Pet Hospital!

One of the best Vets I have experienced for my Corgi. He gets a lot of anxiety at the vet and they have always been patient and caring with him.

IPH is a wonderful practice! Their care has been top notch for my 9 yr old corgi over the past two years; he hates the vet and gets quite reactive, but Dr Zhu and the rest of the team have really helped him feel more comfortable. They are kind and caring towards humans, too, and I especially appreciate how they take time to price out procedures and tests and discuss them before proceeding. Highly recommend!

I was very thankful for the staff helping me to find an appointment so quickly. Dr. Fong explained everything very well and helped calm my fears. Taking time to explain things and give 3 different options for treatment helped me a lot in deciding what to do. I was really nervous as a first time dog owner and Dr. Fong being patient to listen to me about my worries for my dog helped a lot.
