    'Kitty Jesus' aka Ray happy to be on his way home!
    Stacy F.

    The Dr Smith, Dr Nelson and the team took great care of my sick kitty when he had an unknown illness. While we were so worried about him, we knew he was getting the best possible care.

    Stella feeling better already!

    Thank you to Dr. Gorgon and her staff for helping Stella feel better! Nothing worse than having your fur baby hurting and being out of town. Not knowing who can help, well we lucked out they were open on a holiday. Definitely recommend them! Professional and clean.

    I can't say enough amazing things about Carson Valley Vet! They have always taken exceptional care of my dog, Copper, and I've never had anything less than outstanding service. On a recent visit, I had to bring him in on a Sunday, and they got me in immediately. Copper needed emergency dental surgery, and they managed to squeeze him in just a day and a half later. The team always takes the time to explain everything in detail, and they're completely honest and open about all options. A special shoutout to Dr. Warner for his expertise and care, and to Rachel--her kindness and calmness were exactly what I needed in that moment. I trusted her immediately, and she made the entire experience so much easier. To top it all off, the cost of Copper's 22 tooth extractions was incredibly reasonable and even less than the initial quote. I live an hour away, but I will always bring my animals here. Thank you, Carson Valley Vet, for consistently going above and beyond!

    My baby Sammy ! Love you

    I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Mannan, whose compassionate guidance helped us make the toughest decision with clarity and confidence. Dr. Mannan took the time to explain everything, ensuring we understood every aspect of our beloved dog's condition. I highly recommend Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital, and I would choose them again and again. We traveled from Dayton for a second opinion, and although the news wasn't what we had hoped, I'm grateful for the experience. Dr. Mannan's kindness, gentleness, and genuine concern for our pet's well-being shone through. The office staff showed immense kindness during my difficult time. The prices were well worth the drive, especially considering Dayton quoted three times more for the same service. It's truly remarkable. This hospital is state-of-the-art, and I would be honored to bring any future pets here. Although we're not ready for another pet just yet, after having to say goodbye to two dogs in one year. Thank you again, Kymm and Miranda Gibbons RIP My beloved buddies for life !! Tank and Sammy Gibbons

    Not the final review of 2023 I was hoping to write but unfortunately, it became time to put our baby girl, Beastie, to sleep. From making the appointment on the phone, to interacting with the staff in person, everybody was caring, sympathetic, and patient. In a strange twist, while I was filling out the paperwork, our dog ended up passing away in my wife's arms...right there in the waiting area. The girls at the desk took her into a room to verify and unfortunately, did confirm that she had passed. They gave us a private room to say our goodbyes, and handled all of the paperwork/payments privately so we wouldn't have to go back into the waiting room. We ended up going with the option to have her cremated and ashes returned to us and to have her paws molded. Obviously, they removed the euthanasia charge from the final bill. I would highly recommend this place to every dog parent. They truly care for your pet and are very kind. Below is the final picture of our baby. It was taken in the parking lot, just seconds before she passed. She loved the mountains very much.

    Do not take your pet anywhere else. I love Carson Valley Vet Hospital. Today I called from work, my dog ate a corn cob two days ago and wouldn't walk today. Called them explained the situation, , I was already headed there. They had me pull over and do some tests on my dog, they said come straight here, we will watch for you. Got there and they took him straight back, did X-rays and in 15 minutes had some answers and they are treating him. If they have to do surgery they will. Saga ongoing but doc said this is a common thing and everything will be ok. I live in Carson and work in Reno, drove all the way out there because I don't trust anyone else with my Frenchie. Staff and doctors are absolutely amazing. World class in caring for you and your pet. I will not take my dogs anywhere else and make the drive because it's worth it. 10 stars! So thankful to have them for our community.

    Let me tell you, if you need a veterinarian to go to in this area, you need to pay these guys a visit we were really impressed with how clean the place was, but he has a brand new building but, we lived in this area years ago and it's amazing how many things have built up and this is one of them that is fantastic. My Little Roo, my sweet little Chihuahua, who is under three panels, had a PDA, which is part of its heart murmur, and needed heart surgery as soon as possible. We had gone to a place in Reno, but neither one of us were very comfortable, and did not feel right, so we did major research and Dr. Ross at Carson Valley veterinarian Hospital was our choice. They let us stay in their parking lot in our camper van, which was super nice and so easy in the morning to drop her off at 7 AM in one minute compared to driving two hours that was very nice of them to let us stay. Fantastic, clean place. The staff is absolutely wonderful. We dropped her off on Thursday morning. She had surgery Thursday afternoon. Dr. Ross called me and told me how good she was doing, and we could pick her up the next day at 1 PM. I decided to go home and get some things done and came back on Friday to pick her up at 1 PM. She was in good hands, the sweet vet tech, I didn't get her name, but she said that my puppy just sat in their shirts during the daytime and turn the phone and just sitting there looking around it was very happy to be hanging out with them. It was really cute. I almost had to fight to get my dog back lol just kidding. They all loved her. I want to thank them very much for saving my little puppies life, I was so scared and they did such a great job and you will definitely have my business and a lot of my friends business by the time I'm done. If anyone on here needs a good veterinarian tell them Kelly Barr recommended you, I would appreciate it.

    We were referred to this place because they have doctors who are trained in the type of surgery my dog needs. It's not too far from Reno and the drive is easy. From the initial phone call to set up a consultation to meeting the doctor, our experience has been amazing! We were greeted by friendly people when we checked in. The vet tech who walked us to our room and did the initial check was informative and helpful. Dr. Nelson was incredibly personable. He got down on the floor and gave my dog lots of love and pettings. We have our surgery set for our dog in a few weeks and I'm confident he will be in good hands. It's apparent they love animals! I'm so glad my fur baby will be taken care of here.

He was stumbling a lot more than usual and having trouble breathing. I called this emergency vet and let them know our situation and that we were on our way. There were a lot of people in the waiting room when we arrived. I was afraid we would have to wait while my little guy was struggling to breath and possibly in pain. However, they quickly led us into a room and took my dog into the back right away. They gave him something to help with pain and ease his breathing. They wrapped him in a soft blanket and gave him back to us. They told us we can have all the time we needed with him and to let them know when we are ready for the veterinarian to come in. When we were ready, the vet came pretty quickly. Again, I was surprised as they were obviously very busy. She explained everything she was going to do. We held our little guy in our arms as she administered the medication. She let us hold him and patiently listened to us talk about him. When we felt we had said our goodbyes, she took him from us and gave her condolences. It was an emotional night but this entire staff was friendly and compassionate. Thank you so much for helping us through a difficult time.

    On Saturday, my Yorkie was seen for right eye discomfort, including squinting and tearing, and was…read morediagnosed with a corneal ulcer. We were given medication and an Elizabethan collar and discharged. At a follow-up appointment with our primary veterinarian on Wednesday, it was discovered that a sizeable piece of debris had been left in her eye. The cornea had actually begun healing over the foreign body because it was not removed during the initial visit. As a result, our veterinarian had to re-open the wound in order to remove the debris, essentially restarting the healing process. This oversight is extremely concerning, as it delayed proper healing and could have led to much more serious complications, including potential vision loss. When we called to address the situation, the receptionist was very apologetic and assured us a message would be passed along for the veterinarian to return our call. Unfortunately, we never received a follow-up. While we understand and expect higher fees for emergency care, we do not expect critical aspects of treatment to be missed. We are grateful our primary veterinarian caught and corrected the issue, but we are very disappointed in the level of care provided during the initial visit.

My wife and Milo were out on their normal morning walk, with Milo safely on his leash, when they were suddenly attacked by four dogs. It was a frightening, emotional, and very long day for our family, but every staff member treated us with kindness, patience, and compassion. They were thorough, caring, and helped us feel that Milo was truly in good hands during one of the worst experiences we have ever gone through. A special thank-you to the doctor and everyone who cared for him we will never forget how you treated our family. To our fellow neighbors, please remember that being a responsible pet owner protects everyone. Please triple-check your gates, fences, doors, and leashes. It only takes a few seconds for something terrible to happen, and the emotional and physical damage can last much longer.

Having to bring him to BluePearl Animal Hospital was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I can't thank the team enough for the compassion and kindness they showed me. I was so overwhelmed with grief that I couldn't even get him out of my car. Without hesitation, a staff member came outside, gently took him from my vehicle, and handled him with so much dignity and care. That simple act of kindness meant more to me than words can express. The entire process was made as easy as possible during such a heartbreaking time. I chose a private cremation, and when I received his ashes, they included a beautiful paw print, a certificate of cremation and his ashes in a wooden urn. I also received a sympathy card in the mail from the staff. It may seem like a small gesture, but it reminded me that they truly cared not just about my dog, but about me as well. Losing my baby was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but BluePearl treated us both with so much compassion, respect, and love. Thank you for making such a difficult day just a little easier. Your kindness is something I will never forget, and I will always be grateful for the care you gave my sweet boy and the comfort you gave me.

Around 8pm on march 21st my cat started having trouble breathing and she started convulsing. She wasn't breathing until my brother would shake her to start breathing again. We rushed her to this emergency clinic but she sadly passed away in my brothers arms in the car just two minutes from the clinic. The team was fantastic. One of the members there who took my cat to the back let us stay there for as long as I needed and didn't judge me for crying loudly. My mother paid $600 in total for my beloved cat to be cremated and to have a clay print of her paws which in my opinion is a great price. About a week(ish) later we got to pick up her ashes and the clay print we were promised and I believe the team went above and beyond.

Instead of addressing the situation professionally and taking accountability for the confusion, the behavior we experienced was unacceptable. We entrusted this facility with the care of our pet and expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this clinic to others who expect professionalism, respectful communication, and accountability from veterinary staff.

    For decades Guy Yeaman has been offering affordable obedience classes through Northern Nevada…read morecities park and rec. Like other trainers, he has his own style, but certainly  knows what he's doing, and he makes a point of  keeping his classes at a low cost. He  does something I suspect no other trainer in Northern Nevada does: after paying for the initial 6 classes participants can  return FOR FREE as often as they wish until death do the dog part. And here's what I've learned about dog training: It's kind of like learning to play the piano, You can have the best instructor in the world, but it comes down to how often and for how long the owners train their canines on a weekly basis when they are not in class. Guy understands this, which is why he allows owners to return as much as they'd likeand why he spends so much time educating dog owners as part of his courses.     In the class I took,  Guy not only had students practice the basics with our canines - come, sit, stay, etc. but he was a wealth of knowledge who taught me a lot about how dogs think, behave, how to properly take care of them, etc He is a walking/talking dog whisperer.  Point in case: in the summer he talked about how to determine whether pavement is too hot for dogs to walk on, something the dogs aren't going to be able to communicate, and it's information like this I find useful.  We had a talk in class about using dog booties and  how to keep dogs cool (buy a baby pool for your backyard).  I would have never thought about this on my own.  And when my dog started digging holes in my backyard, Guy had an answer for how to fix that as well.  As a first time puppy owner, I had a lot of questions. When my dog stopped eating for a few days, I called Guy before going to the pricey vet. Guy always stayed after each class to address any individual issues an owner had, as most group dog obedience courses tend to be big.  Some say he's a big talker, which he is, but I find his information educational.  He will spend enormous amounts of time on the phone  addressing individual issues. He has gone with me to the pet store to advise me on what things to buy. He has come to my house for a private lesson,  stayed 90 minutes, but only charged me for 60. When I was injured in a car accident and could not walk nor take care of my dog, he came and picked him up and took him to his house where he not only took care of my dog,  but trained him at his home as well. Other kennels and dog-sitting companies charge a fortune for this boarding-training service and I doubt anyone is  providing door to door service, or at least they would charge extra for this. His fees were more than reasonable and he didn't charge for the pick-up/drop-off. And it's not just me. Guy treats all of his clients with the same dedication, so I'd recommend him without hesitation, whether it's for training purposes in a group setting, or with a private lesson at your home, which I found useful, because he showed me things like how to keep my dog from jumping on my bed,  something you can't learn in a class. He had all the members of my family participate in the at-home training so we all got to practice and learn.

    Guy takes a very practical approach to dog training. He deals with behavioral issues with ease…read more Highly recommend.
