Worst eperence of my life at a vet. – This is the worst experence I have ever had, takeing my dog to an emergency vet. The fromt office and the vet tech were very nice and compassionate, but I sure can't say that about the vet himself. His bedsided manner was one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I explained the problem and what has worked in the past for this dog, he as much accused me and my husband of wanting the medication for ourself,even though all we asked for was a shot for the dog.. I am an RN that has worked in th... read more
my emergency experience – So my husband and i were enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday night, when we noticed our golden retriever duke was not acting right and hadn't eaten his dinner. I was worried because i didn't think there was anywhere we could go until morning and he was getting progressively worse and started to throw up. So I jumped online and looked up emergency vet hospitals in this area and noticed that carson tahoe vet hospital was the only 24 hour hospital. I also noticed the not-so-nice reviews it got. Skep... read more
Closest isn't always better – This review goes solely off a phone conversation. It is 2 am and my dog just had a seizure. I called my normal Vet, Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital, and they were closed. They attached a number to the voice message of an emergency hospital in Reno, Animal Emergency Center. I called them and they seemed generally concerned and told me not to worry all that much if this is the first, as long as it is the last, and to wait until morning to see my normal Vet, due to me being almost 2 hours south. ... read more
Business response:
The staff of CTVH follows the Veterinary Emergency and Citical Care societies guidlines, as they have developed over 20 years of case studies. In this regards, all first time siezure dogs should be seen to rule out life threatening intoxications/poisonings, ie antifreeze!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine...It isn't cheap to raise an animal just like it isn't cheap to raise a child. Pet owners' including myself, look to their pets as family. We do what we must for the sake of our animal's health. We prevent illness and harm to the best of our ability and sometimes we can't help the inevitable. We look to veterinarians to help us figure out the best treatment for our babies. Here in Carson City NV we are limited to the available veterinarians out of the typical 9-5 serv... read more
DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS HOUSE OF HORROR – Simply take your animal ANYWHERE else except this place. They do not care for animals or people, they simply care about money. I was lied to, my dog was kept from me when I refused treatment, I was bullied and intimidated into unnecessary treatments that prolonged my dogs suffering. I know that the positive reviews on this site and others are written by the staff to hide the facts that are laid out by myself and other people that have had their heart ripped out by the horrible v... read more
Unimpressed but no other choice at midnight – Vacationing in S Lake Tahoe, I realized my dog had just eaten grapes, which can be toxic, or fatal to dogs within 24 hours. The receptionist at Carson Tahoe Veterinary Hosp responded blithely: "Oh, that's not an emergency" even after I'd spoken with my local San Francisco ER vet and a national dog poisoning hotline and Both said that I should seek treatment immediately. I insisted on bringing my dog in whereupon my dog was treated for possible grape poisoning, but then subject to... read more
They Helped me when – My dog suffered a stroke at 3 am recently. I was alone and terrified and had absolutely NO idea what to do to help him. I called 911 and got the information for the Carson Tahoe Vets and as soon as I arrived, the staff literally sprang into action to help us. They did everything they could to assess what was wrong, to make sure there wasn?t anything to be done for him. They performed numerous tests, constantly checking with me and keeping me apprised of what they was doing. When it became clear that the... read more
CTVH Vet is Great – I really don't believe some of these reviews. I have been going to Carson Tahoe Vet for 15 Years. None of the things mentioned here have ever happened to me. Dr. Hittenmiller has never suggested any un necessary tests and is a great vet. For years my pet got her vaccinations every year and a check up. As the pet got older and some problems arised and the doctor did run some tests. Without these tests I am not sure how he could diagnose the problem. How could someone say you are not allowed into the exam r... read more
Staff who go above and beyond – I have just relocated to Nevada from Southern Cal. With 3 cats and 2 dogs, I needed to find a good Veterinarian. I called around to find out that there is only one 24 hour emergency hospital for our pets. I was shocked. Emergencies don't happen from 9-5. I felt that an emergency hospital would be the best place to take my animals. If something happens, these doctors already know my pets and their history. Their general practice is above and beyond. There is rarely a wait, except in emergencies... read more
