Dr. Francis is always a reliable and professional veterinarian who takes great care of Ginger. He provides excellent lifestyle recommendations that have led to noticeable improvements in her health and energy! I’m so glad she’s in good hands.

EL TORO IS THE BEST!!! We run a small non profit dog rescue and they were the only but we found that would give our rescue a significant discount in order for us to help save more dogs. The staff is amazing. The doctors are amazing. Always Valerie, helpful, informative, patient and kind. I highly highly highly recommend this veterinarian for everybody.

Dr. Paul and his team provide incredible veterinarian services, hands down best vet facility I have used. Their customer service and level of care for pets is unmatched. The entire team is knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely respectful to pets and their owners. My dog is in better health after visiting this facility after great level of medical care and great supplement recommendations. Thank you El Toro Animal Hospital!

10+ out of 10 — The Best Veterinary Care You Could Ask For! I have four pets, three cats and a Pomeranian, and I completely trust Dr. Paul Francis and the team at El Toro Animal Hospital with all of them. The entire staff is not only intelligent and professional but also deeply compassionate and responsive. Whenever I’ve had an emergency, they’ve always made time to see me the same day. Dr. Paul is exceptionally caring and thorough. He’s done X-rays, dental work, and exams for my pets, and he’s spent time talking with me about nutrition, mobility, and joint care. He’s also been incredibly helpful with pain management for my senior pets. When my beloved senior dog had to be put to sleep, Dr. Paul and his team treated us with such kindness and empathy that I’ll never forget it. Maria and Sog
