Overview
Started in 1998 by Dr. Yves Galea, Sepulveda Animal Hospital has been servicing the needs of pets and people of West Los Angeles for over 20 years. Back when we were founded, Dr. Galea dreamed of building a community to serve and heal our four-legged friends, a place where pets would be cared for with the same love he had for his own pets.
Since our opening, Sepulveda Animal Hospital has expanded with new doctors, new staff members, and even a new building; but our goals, mission, and quality of care remain the same.
The team at Sepulveda Animal Hospital performs medical and surgical treatments with a high standard of excellence. Our Culver City veterinary clinic provides care that revolves around the pet's comfort and the client's peace of mind and promotes health and wellbeing for the pet. Our love of animals and our respect for our clients shows in the way we handle each case.
