History
Pet owners in the San Francisco area have been relying on Balboa Pet Hospital for comprehensive pet healthcare services since 1948. Dr. Paul D. Clary and his wife, Alice began the Clary family's history in this Outer Richmond neighborhood in 1966, when they purchased the San Francisco veterinary hospital from Drs. Fried and Chafets. Dr. Clary and Alice worked together to create a well respected hospital with a welcoming atmosphere that puts pets and their families at ease as soon as they enter the reception area. Many of our clients came here with their parents as children or grandchildren!
Dr. Clary, who grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin and Petaluma, California, became a veterinarian partly because of something his father, a chemist, said: "If I had to do it all over again, I'd be a veterinarian." After starting his post-secondary education at Santa Rosa Junior College, he went on to earn a certificate in Animal Husbandry and then a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Science at the University of California at Davis. He stayed at UC Davis for his veterinary school training and earned a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1963. He was an active member and the past president of the San Francisco Veterinary Medical Association and proudly held memberships in the American Veterinary Medical Association, California Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association.
