Carson Tahoe Veterinary Hospital

"I thought this was a good place until recently. Less then a week ago I took my 5 month old puppy in for his final shots and I expressed concern about bringing him in because there have been RSV type symptoms going around and dogs getting really sick. I also heard that other vets have been taking precautions and having their patients stay in their vehicles to be seen. Carson Tahoe Veterinary Hospital (CTVH) brushed my concerns aside and said they have been getting calls about what to do if it happens, but haven't seen any patients come in for it. Feeling reassured and trusting what they said, I brought my puppy in for his final exam. Less then a week later, 6 DAYS, I go to wake my puppy up in the morning and he starts coughing. He proceeds to have 4 coughing spells throughout the morning, isn't as energetic as he usually is, pants, wheezes, and gets winded much faster, and his bark is a lot more raspy. IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS RSV FOR DOGS IS GOING AROUND, HAVE SOME CARE AND START TAKING PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR PATIENTS!!! Also, every time after the first time I took my puppy in, they couldn't get his record straight. They would say he needs his de-worming done or his rabies shot but he had already had those done previously. This place is disorganized and dysfunctional, causing mistakes to be made and animals to be negatively affected."

"I scheduled my cat for an appointment to be neutered back in October. When I showed up for the appointment, I was informed they had no vet on staff that day. Someone had called in. I was frustrated, but I rescheduled. They didn't have anything available until November for me. When I showed up for the second appointment, I dropped my cat off. They called me 10 minutes later, informing me that no vet would be in that day either. Their hours are limited beyond convenience, and from what I have seen, they don't maintain coverage when they are open. It's a shame. A year ago, they were worth making a 45-minute drive with my cat in my car for. Now i would suggest going elsewhere if you want reliable care for your animal."

"Reasonably price and the staff actually care about their patients. We've brought two of our dogs here. The animals were treated well. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to a beloved member of the family here recently. They helped with the process immensely. Dr. Mike is a good veterinarian. Highly recommend."

"We are grateful for the professional, competent, and caring services from Carson Tahoe Veterinarian Hospital emergency services for our 9 yr old GSD, Gabe. Gabe received emergency services from Dr. Lisa Lewis and team. He was seen within a short time of calling. Gabe’s first surgery consisted of having his spleen removed. All expenses were explained to us in advance and our alternatives. Next Gabe had sand impacting his gastrointestinal system and bloat. With each surgery, I was called by Dr. Lewis and given an update on Gabe’s status! Our thanks are many to the team and surgery from Dr.Lewis, Gabe pulled through. We are so grateful to each team member who helped Gabe with their competence, compassion, and professionalism! !"

"We lost our family pet. Frankie. We took her to Carson Tahoe veterinary hospital for her final resting arrangements. They were so compassionate and so helpful. We have used this vet as our emergency vet for years and years. They always step up and are there for us. We will definitely use them again."
