Community Pet Health Center is proud to call San Antonio home. As the seventh-largest city in the US, San Antonio boasts all the amenities of a major metropolis while managing to maintain a strong sense of community and small-town vibe in each neighborhood.

Our clients are our neighbors, friends, and family—each deserving a consistent, personalized experience.
