WARNING: my dogs almost died here…read more I want other pet owners to know what happened to my two Shih Tzus after staying at Truckee Tahoe Pet Lodge in the month of May WHAT I FOUND AT PICKUP: Both dogs were trembling, dizzy, extremely weak, dehydrated, vomiting, and had diarrhea. They could barely stand. I also noticed an unknown topical substance applied directly to the skin on their backs -- something I never gave permission for and was never told about. A vet later confirmed skin scabs. THE STAFF'S RESPONSE: Nothing. Staff said nothing about their condition and acted visibly nervous. THE COST: $700 in boarding fees, $500 in OTC medicine and supplies to nurse them back to health, and $600 in extra hotel costs because my dogs were too sick to travel home. Nearly $1,800 total. I have filed formal complaints with Animal Control and the BBB. Please, if you love your pets, board them somewhere else.

Separation anxiety? Check -- hers and mine. But from the very first day, they greeted her with open arms, endless patience, and enough treats to win her heart instantly. Now she practically drags me through the door because she loves it so much. I go to work knowing she's not just safe, but genuinely happy, engaged, and loved -- which is priceless. This team doesn't just "watch" dogs, they care for them like family and go above and beyond every single day. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Highly, highly recommend!

Over the past few months, our 3.5‑year‑old dog faced several serious health challenges, including being diagnosed with Addison's Disease, and Dr. Vannini guided us through each one with compassion, patience, and unmatched expertise. She and her team cared for and healed our dog, educated and supported us throughout, and ultimately saved his life. Dr. Vannini's wisdom, depth of knowledge, and calm, thoughtful approach are truly exceptional. She takes the time to listen, explains every option clearly, and blends data‑driven diagnostics with seasoned intuition and hands‑on experience. We never felt rushed and always knew every decision was made with our dog's best interest at heart. We cannot recommend Dr. Vannini and the Truckee Donner Veterinary Hospital team highly enough. Their dedication, clear communication, attention to detail, and loving kindness gave us complete confidence and peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Dr. Vannini is an extraordinary professional, and we are forever thankful for her role in our dog's recovery and ongoing health. Her expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her patients make her truly exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for the care she and her team have given us.

They said they have private rooms per dog but they walk them together. I asked if they can please walk my dog without the other dogs or if they can give her the vaccination and I would gladly pay for it. The tech said that the Vet was not in town and she will get fired if she will let my dog in. I said may i talk to your vet? She said the vet wont answer.

From the moment I called, the experience was incredible. Their receptionist/assistant was compassionate, listened to my concerns, and offered me the choice of an appointment for the next day or bringing her in immediately for their emergency services. Once I arrived, I met Dr. Jasan Ghuman, who was both compassionate and attentive. We discussed the various possibilities for why my cat was in this condition, and I later met Dr. Gia Kingston, who was equally caring and empathetic. They thoroughly assessed the situation and clearly advised me of my options. I have been a pet owner for many years and have seen numerous veterinarians, but I have never experienced such focused attention, genuine concern, and sincere compassion until now. As new patients, they got us in immediately, took excellent care of my cat, and were also incredibly supportive of my emotional state during such a stressful time. Having lived in North Lake Tahoe for 31 years, I have experienced many services in this area, but I have truly never encountered such a high level of customer service and genuine compassion as I did with this team. Dr. Ghuman and Dr. Kingston are both exceptionally skilled, highly professional, and truly dedicated practitioners who lead with their hearts. I have 100% faith in them and their entire team. I never thought I would switch practices, but I can proudly say that Agate Bay Animal Hospital is now my permanent veterinarian. This was truly the best experience I have ever had with a vet

I'd really avoid working with this kennel and Victoria. She has a lot of experience, and seems to…read moretake good care of the dogs. On an interpersonal level, she is an absolute nightmare to work with. When we dropped our 14 week-old puppy off with her for the first time, we had a miscommunication where she said she was going to take him inside, and then talk to us. She had meant over text, and then came out to yell at us to leave (I think she wanted clean separation when dropping him off for the first time). She then sent us angry texts for the next half hour (see screenshots). We decided we didn't want to work with her, NOT because we had concerns about the care our dog would receive, but because she was so abrasive. That was 200% confirmed when we went to pick him up. She first yelled at me about being paid before she'd release my dog, which I was fine with. I understand that we had booked a slot even though it had only been an hour (why yell though). She had put a special collar on him, and while she was struggling to get it off my dog was screaming in pain the entire time. During this whole process she called me a "dumb fuck" and an idiot multiple times. I was concerned about my dogs safety and only called her "mam" (well..I lost my temper once we finally got him back). There aren't many dog sitters in Tahoe, and my wife and I were very polite to Victoria through the entire process. She was abrasive throughout, which we chalked up to poor communication. After this experience though, I could never recommend her. She seems to take good care of the dogs, but has a few screws loose. I'd avoid this kennel unless you want to be treated this way.

My dog is so well behaved now, she's a changed dog for the better. Initially I was nervous about dropping off my dog to a stranger but quickly learned that my pup LOVED going to Victoria's and she obviously treats all the pups like they're her own. Since training my dog I now drop her off when I'm out skiing or know it's going to be a long day and she always gives my dog a little refresher on her skills she learned with her previously and my dog is always guaranteed to come home exhausted from playing and learning. Couldn't recommend her more. Life is SO MUCH EASIER with a well trained dog!
