We had very limited information to give Dr. Marin but she listened to what we knew and started right away with a very thorough exam. She was extremely kind, compassionate, and very communicative throughout the process. Dr. Marin worked on the puppy throughout the night, called with an update, and met with me after already working for 12 hours to discuss the plan of care moving forward. Because of Dr. Marin, this little girl's future is very bright. I hope that if I have another pet emergency, Dr. Marin will be on staff! Also, to honor Dr. Marin, we've decided to name the puppy Maren.

She was a blessing that was rescued from a kill shelter as a puppy who had been abandoned. It was love at first sight and a feeling that she was an old soul who captivated our hearts from the very first day to the last. We met Rover Veterinary Care when our other dog Mia became sick quickly. I will never forget how wonderful they were when we called and then came out to euthanize her. Dr. Chris came out today to do the same thing for our beloved Orie and was as heartfelt, attentive and kind as anyone can be when you are facing the loss of a beloved pet. Special people who do a special task for the pets in our lives when their time runs out. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I was referred to Dose's Vet Pets by a friend, and I'm so thankful I listened. This…read morehusband‑and‑wife team, Dr. Sharon Dose and Dr. Tom Dose, is truly exceptional: pragmatic, efficient, well‑organized, honest, and incredibly thorough. After visiting many veterinarians over the years, this is hands‑down one of the best places I will ever take my small dog. Our Bichon Frise, Aspen, came to us almost a year ago from a horrific puppy mill, and today was his very first anesthesia dental cleaning. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Karen Shaw Becker and her book The Forever Dog, and after reading her sobering statistic--"By age 3, 80% of dogs have periodontal disease, most of it below the gumline where bone loss, abscesses, and tumors go undetected"--I knew I had to get his teeth taken care of right away. From the very first visit, I was impressed. Parking is easy, the location is simple to find, and Dr. Sharon Dose personally handles everything from answering phones and booking appointments to performing thorough exams. She provided clear estimates without me having to ask (unlike many other vets in town), and she even took the time to show me exactly how to brush Aspen's teeth properly at home. No other vet has ever done that. The day of the procedure (early Sunday morning), their thoughtfulness truly shone. We received clear pre‑op instructions, a straightforward bill breakdown, detailed emails before pickup, a phone call with updates, and even a look at the decaying tooth they removed. Everything was handled with skill, excellent time management, professionalism, and genuine care. Their passion for keeping pets' teeth healthy is obvious. We're deeply grateful for the tooth extraction and the thorough cleaning. Aspen's teeth are now sparkly white, his breath smells so much better, and--most importantly--we know he was in the best hands possible. Their honesty, knowledge, and non‑predatory pricing make them absolute gems in the Reno/Tahoe community. I truly wish more people operated with their level of integrity and heart. If you have a small dog, do yourself a favor and go see them. You won't find a more hardworking, caring, or trustworthy team. Highly recommend for your fur babies!

Wow what a disorganized, unprofessional place. I was looking forward to taking my beloved dog…read moreSawyer to a new team of veterinarians that have their office like 3 minutes from my home. The original Vet Dr. Hatch used to occupy and own this property before he retired. Anyway since our last Vet retired from seeing patients to work solely in emergency care we needed to find someone new. I give a 2 star rating since the gal at the front desk and the assistant were both lovely girls and know how to treat customers. Sawyers ears were very dirty so the doctor wanted to take a look but alas the other doctor was gone and took the tool with her and asked if I would consider leaving my dog there for 2 hours to waits for the other doctor to reappear. Ummm that would be a hard No. I was surprised that they even asked me that. I don't know any of you! Seriously?!? The reason for todays visit was my dog had a red rash in his nether regions and I was beginning to worry since I first noticed it 2 days ago. My appointment was at 2:30 and that is when I arrived. Like I mentioned the first assistant asked a bunch of questions about Sawyer most of which would have been on the sheet I brought with me all about his last treatment, shots, ect. She mentioned she might want to do $250.00 worth of blood work, um that's a hard no. The initial visit was $75 and then another $50 for I don't know why... The doctor said she had no idea what the rash was and thought maybe it was a bacterial infection....Really?

I have taken my dogs to Desert Hills Animal Hospital for many years. My older golden retriever…read morelived to 16 and my current dog, now 8, has also been a patient there since she was a puppy. For a long time I truly loved this clinic. The staff used to feel very welcoming, attentive, and personal, and you genuinely felt cared for when you walked in. I'm really sad to write this review because I normally don't leave negative reviews, but after giving the clinic several chances I felt it was important to share my experience. The clinic seems much busier now, and while I understand that is a sign of a successful business and I support that, it has started to feel like they may be taking on more than they can handle, and that change is noticeable in the overall clinic experience. Most recently I called because my dog's paw was swollen. Since there were no appointments available, I was told I could drop her off in the morning and they would try to fit her in. I waited about 2.5 hours for a call back and received very little guidance beyond confirming that her paw was swollen. The conversation quickly shifted to recommending x rays on both paws along with other items like vaccines and tests that didn't seem directly related to the reason I brought her in. I also asked about switching her dog food due to past urinary issues and never received clear guidance on that. It left me feeling like the focus was more on adding charges rather than helping me understand what was best for my dog, and this has been my experience the past 3-4 visits. This clinic used to be a place I trusted deeply, which is why this is so disappointing. I'm only sharing this in hopes that the team might bring back some of the personal care and attention that once made this place feel so special.

Wait times during appointments could also get long, but it's understandable with a smaller hospital like theirs. I knew they always had my baby's best interest at heart and provided the best care for him they could, which makes up for any delays we experienced.
