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.

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

Madi communicates clearly, handles everything with care, and charges fair rates. She's a total gem, and we're so grateful to have found her!

If your dog could write a review, they'd give Donner Dogs six paws up!…read more Madi at Donner Dogs in Truckee is basically a dog whisperer, adventure guide, and cuddle expert all in one. She treats every pup like her own, which is saying something, because my dog is literally soooo spoiled. Whether it's dog walking or boarding, she goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend is happy, safe, and having the best time ever. Need someone to take your dog on an epic Tahoe adventure? Madi's got it covered. Want to make sure your pup gets more attention than you do at home? Also covered. Honestly, I'm pretty sure some dogs leave her care wondering if they can trade humans. If you want your dog to have the best time while you're away (or just too busy to give them the adventure they deserve), Donner Dogs is the place. Just be warned--your pup might come home looking at you like, "So, when do I get to go back?"

We just did a vacation at the beach and allowed him to be off leash in a manner I never imagined.
