Irving Pet Hospital

At San Francisco’s Irving Pet Hospital, we treat your pets with compassionate expertise. Located in the Inner Sunset next to Golden Gate Park, we are one of the few locally owned and operated general practice veterinary hospitals in the city. And that distinction shows in everything we do

Irving Pet Hospital, originally called Irving Street Veterinary Hospital, was built in 1964 by Dr. Roger Burr. When he retired in 1989, Dr. Dave Penny took over and modernized the facility with extensive remodeling. Dr. Penny’s interests led him elsewhere, and the hospital was acquired in 2007 by Dr. Joe Fong, who changed the name to the simpler Irving Pet Hospital. Being one of only a handful of native San Francisco residents practicing veterinary medicine in the city, Dr. Fong has a special connection with this city and its residents. As such, he plans to practice here far into the future with a focus on continuing and expanding Irving Pet Hospital’s established tradition of excellence

Mission — At Irving Pet Hospital, our mission is to provide outstanding care for our patients in an exceptional working environment for our dedicated team. Our employees are the heart of our practice. We strive to create a welcoming and enriching environment, full of opportunities to grow, advance and learn
