Affordable and took excellent care of my newly adopted kittens. They also gave great advice on how to care for them, as I am a first time pet mom. View on Google (opens in new tab)

This was my first time bringing my fur baby to this office, and I was very pleased. They're doing curbside service right now because of the corona, but it was still a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend! I've now been using harbor City animal hospital for almost 2 years… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
