Our Story & Mission
For over 14 years, Pawsome Veterinary has been the trusted choice for pet families in San Francisco, providing compassionate care and building lasting relationships.
How It All Started
Pawsome Veterinary was founded in 2010 by Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a lifelong animal lover who dreamed of creating a veterinary clinic that felt more like a second home for pets and their families.
After years of working in large animal hospitals, Dr. Mitchell saw an opportunity to provide more personalized, fear-free care. She opened our doors with a simple mission: treat every pet as if they were our own.
What started as a small clinic with just two exam rooms has grown into a full-service animal hospital with state-of-the-art facilities, while never losing sight of our founding principles.
