Our Story and Mission
Founded in 2008 by Dr. Elena Ramirez, Coronado Animal Hospital began as a small neighborhood clinic with a big dream—to improve the lives of pets through personalized, expert care. Over the years, we’ve grown into a modern facility equipped with advanced technology and a caring team of over 20 professionals.
Our purpose remains the same: to enhance the well-being of pets and strengthen the bond they share with their owners. Every treatment follows the high standards set by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), ensuring safe, ethical, and evidence-based care for every animal that walks through our doors.
We see our work not just as medicine—but as a lifelong partnership in your pet’s health journey.

Giving Back to Our Community
We believe great care extends beyond the clinic. That’s why we host free vaccination drives, adoption events, and educational workshops throughout Coronado—helping hundreds of pets find forever homes each year.
We also practice eco-conscious veterinary care, using energy-efficient equipment and proper medical waste recycling to protect our environment for future generations of pets.
