20 Best Vet Tech Programs In Reno, NV (2022 Updated)

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

(For reference, I am a first-generation college student, have a learning disability, and a physical disability.) TMCC sets students up for success. I have had a very positive experience both as a student and working for the school. I will be finishing a dual-degree sooner than expected. Most of the professors are great, and everyone in the humanities department is amazing. Most of the staff is very professional and able to well-inform students of what classes to take and what services may benefit them. On top of this, the school also offers free tutoring and mental health services. As a first-generation college student, I feel TMCC has helped me at every step of the way to succeed. With only 8 classes left to take, I still have a cumulative GPA of 4.0 despite doing relatively poorly in high school. As long as you put in your best effort, teachers will do everything possible to help you succeed. If you do not put any effort in and expect a handout, then it will be extremely difficult to succeed. If you attend this school make sure to take advantage of any and all resources as well as putting in your own effort… you will not regret it. I recommend TMCC to anyone and everyone.Rove Plant Eater

This is a tremendous school with a caring and compassionate staff and faculty. This school has afforded me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise received without them. When I got to Reno, I was homeless. I arrived with two suitcases and less than $100 in the bank. I was staying with a friend and making very little money. I found myself in a situation where I worked hard labor job after hard labor job, trapped in a vicious cycle of injury and poverty and no clear view of how to exit my situation. In the month of December 2014, I walked into the offices at TMCC. In less than a year, I have found employment, I'm less than a year from finishing my degree and I am a Dean's list student. I had it in my head that I wanted to succeed and I was fortunate that this school wanted to help me to do exactly that. The teachers were compassionate and patient. The staff was courteous and helpful. I owe a great deal to this school because it has taught me more than academics. It taught me to be a better person.Brandon Canty

Don't listen to the bad reviews, everybody has a different experience and different perceptions. Ive taken at least 20+ classes over 12 years, I love tmcc. It's a good community college in every way. I attended here on and off from 1999-2012. I learned how to teach step aerobics from the greatest fitness instructor imo Verna Lewis. I took many general ed classes as well as a few paralegal courses and a ton of fitness classes as well. The campus is beautiful, many bathrooms with free sanitary napkins if needed, the vending machines are reasonably priced. The classes are very fair priced. It's a wonderful school and a WAY better option then a vocational school. eg: Realtor school online vocational school $600+, Tmcc Realtor program $50-100.Rachela Reno Rocks

Extremely disorganized and do not care about you or your problem unless you virtue signal. They don’t even pay some of their employees who handle sensitive documents. School has only self interest; considering they have multiple offices not even located on campus (they’re embarrassed being there). They can’t keep a straight and secure staff, it’s really an embarrassment to the community. They even asked for more funding last election with 4 series of funding already. They’re in more debt than they can shake; thank God for the federal bail out money they took from the rest of America. This school is only interested in the little ones who cry Wolf instead of the integrity of America. Beware and avoid at all cost.Michael Madsen

Community college is something most people take for granted. As a Yuba College alumni, I received a high-quality education at a cheap price. What most people don’t know is that the units you take here can transfer to a 4-year university, which is extremely helpful since it’s expensive. Another aspect that makes Yuba College an excellent choice is the quality of education. In university, you are one of hundreds of students and here I got to interact with my professors, easily join clubs, and was part of programs that wanted to help students advance in their careers. Although I now attend university, it’s a place I am proud to come from and something I wish more people would consider. I highly recommend it!!!Jennifer Olivares

my two nieces have had nothing but issues. The staff does not follow thru. loses their paperwork all the time. The Professors do not make an effort to help the students. when the Dam was going to break and we were all evacuated. She had a final, but had no access to a computer and the professor refused to let her make it up and failed her. We went to the dean and no one would do anything about it. That was just wrong. Counselors set them up in all the wrong classes. Takes to long to get out of there.Mary Anderson

I was very happy with Kris Jackson she did my tour and always answered me when I had any questions. I started in January of 2021 still in the mist of COVID. I had a good experience, be prepared NOTHING IS EASY you have to study study study. I feel like most of the teachers there really do want to see you do good and will genuinely try to do a lot to help. I struggled a lot but there is always tutoring and someone willing to help. With every school comes drama that has nothing to do with school but just to know. There’s a lot of commitment when signing up so just know what your getting yourself into. The school teaches you a lot you need to know and has plenty of resources if you need more help. Only thing I wish I knew was more things that we could’ve been taught for the “real world” like a lot we get taught we need to know but there is some small things we have to know like trying to find veins by ourself or little tricks other than that I had a good experience. I would recommend if you are able to commit to a long hard program it is very rewarding in the long end.Emily Pham

As a former graduate of VTI and soon to be practicing veterinarian medicine for about a year I cannot thank the staff and mentors enough for caring and teaching me the skills that I use in everyday practice. They were always so thoughtful and there when you needed a helping hand wether it was something as big as tutoring before all classes started or as small as just small words of advice to keep students going through the program. The classes are geared towards exactly what you need to know and all the teachers seem to be very knowledgeable in which subjects they teach. If you are as lucky as me throughout the program you may even adopt your own 4 legged bestfriend you met during kennel duty!! 🙂Haidyn Craig

The Vet Tech Institute is an incredible school that teaches the reality of the animal career field. It teaches self discipline, personal instinct to trust, and an incredible amount of respect for the workers in any animal field. The staff are so incredibly patient and truly show their passion to teach and to love the animals we work with on an everyday basis. Being able to work with animals everyday in class only better creates a self confidence that has to be grown. This institute ensured me a successful career working with animals that no other school could do. I happily recommend it to anyone who is driven and ready to put in the work!Kelcey Harris

I feel like I’m getting scammed. I’m retaking this class first time was because my previous teacher didn’t grade most of my work that I summited direct to her with all paperwork and it was totally mess like nothing’s ever organized and dated correctly and she got fired so other instructors had to take over and still didn’t care about my assignment so i had no choice but failing. And when i retook it for second time with same class due to her personal reason it was mostly online or self taught with ppt she posted on blackboard. I only got to be in classroom 3 times. my new instructor won’t grade my quiz so i had to email her and advisor but non of them gave me any updates nor response so I guess they just want me to retake it over and over again until they can do their job. It’s large amounts of money they required too so I’m wasting my time and money and it just seems like they’re scamming me. Whenever my friends or people around me asking about this school I never recommend. Because no one need to deal with this mess. And they honestly killed my passion to be on veterinary field.Eunsu Choi

We've hosted students from the programs over the years and they come in with little clinical experience. They're not prepared to work with patients out of school at all. Up until recently our team was okay spending hours in training (while the school gets paid the tuition fee, we get nothing) hoping to keep the student on long-term. We got stood up. A promise was made to stay on and then no communication, no reply. The school should teach honesty, integrity and professionalism as part of the curriculum.Ilona F

I graduated from the medical assistant program and the teachers were all amazing and seem to truly care about their student’s success and wellbeing, especially Mojda! My only downside is that I did struggle with some of the administrative staff having poor communication and being disorganized. I definitely had to advocate for myself. Other than that, wonderful experience.Abby Heck

Enrolling in classes at Career College of Nevada (CCNN) was the best decision I have made in my entire life, and it could be yours also. I followed my dreams, graduated, and landed a job paying $20 an hour to start. The instructors at the school are knowledgeable and will do whatever is necessary to assist students in learning, point out additional resources, and provide tips and stories gleaned from working in the field themselves. The administrative staff at the school also assists students and graduates in keeping administrative and financial things in order. The school also provides free attendance to graduates who want to re-attend certain courses to refresh their memories, prepare for certification exams, or pick up any new information to keep up with changes in the field you graduate in. In addition, the job placement staff are there for you when you begin job searching, whether you are in school, have graduated, or are looking for a job change. You will also have the opportunity to make friends and make priceless contacts with professionals in your field of study. I highly recommend CCNN to those interested in the fields of study they offer. Study hard, work hard, and follow your dreams.Suzanne Brunette

I moved to Nevada to start a "new life" I had very little self-esteem and decided to go to school at Career College of Northern Nevada. This was the best decision I have ever made. At this school I met some really great people especially the teachers! I got really good grades, remained on the honor roll the entire time and when i graduated I was very concerned about being able to find a job because of a lack of self-esteem. I had little faith in myself but Placement was always there guiding me and encouraging me to just try. I received a call a few months after I graduated and was told that my teachers recommended me for a job in Reno at Specialty Health Clinic. I came in the day before my interview to prepare myself a little. I was soooo nervous. I went to my interview and the next day I got the call that I got the job!!! This was the most exciting news that I had received in a really long time! Thanks so much to everyone at Career College of Northern Nevada. You guys are awesome!!!!!Shannan Rose

After several years working jobs with limited mobility I decided to start looking at going back to school. In Northern Nevada there are several options and paths that you can take to further your education. Most of these are full time educational institutions with varied prerequisites that will not apply in your chosen career path. The first day I submitted a request for information Nicole Brand, one of the admissions representatives gave me a call. She has made the process of enrolling seamless and goes the extra mile to make sure you either get credit for prior education or offers test out options for skills that I already have. May still be a week out from starting classes, but after having attended 5 plus schools over the years I am truly excited to be starting at CCNN.troy walters

Changing career paths as an adult is never easy and comes with a load of hesitation. I am so happy that I made the decision to inquire about the Radiography program at Pima. My initial interaction with career services and admissions left me feeling safe and confident that this program and school would be the key to my success in this industry. My admissions staff member was available to me through every step of the process, from enrollment to the positive interactions with her daily while on campus. There just aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to each member of the radiography program at Pima. Every one of them set the highest expectations during the interview process. So much so that I thought, "man, can I really do this?" The program is rigorous, but the expectations were clearly set from the start. The Program Director, Clinical Director, and instructors became family. They were hard on us, not only because they cared about our individual successes, but also because they take pride in producing quality techs who enter the field of Radiology. Like family, they provide support, cheer us on, and lift us up when things get rough. They make sure "every day is a Radiology day," and they inspire. Hands down, this school and program were the best decisions I’ve ever made.a ova

Hands down best experience I have had. I completed the MA program in 2019 which was a wonderful atmosphere and I learned so much. I went on to the Radiography program where all the instructors fought for our education during the pandemic. They did everything in their power to make sure we received a proper education and were able to graduate on time. Sure enough we just graduated! Even with a family the program managed to make it all work. Our program director made sure we stayed on track every minute of the way. And our clinical director always made sure we had a clinical site to go to that we could learn at. I gained the best experiences at every site I went to and now have a job as guaranteed. This program has taught me so many things that I will take with me through my career. Thank you Pima and all the instructors in this program for everything!Alexis Nolasco

I graduated Pima from the rad program in 2016. My experience was wonderful even though I had a background in Radiography from finishing the school in the Army, but never pursue to get licensed. As a student at Pima, I learned so much from the staff who really showed they cared about getting you through the program and having success in the field. The campus was cleaned and maintained. I would recommend anyone I feel is a fit for the rad program to attend Pima. To this day I'm able to contact any rad program instructor including the program director for any advice or job inquiring and they'll be happy to assist me.george walker

I am a working registered dental hygienist who graduated from Carrington College back when they were at their previous location relatively close by on San Ignacio. I can't speak for the program now since alot has probably changed in terms of administration, but our program director Sherry Heaney, department of hygiene staff, and supervising doctors were all great and provided us with excellent, rigorous education. We had a very thorough clinical and classroom education there at Carrington which allowed my graduating class to pretty much all go through the program and pass our National and regional boards for hygiene. The cost for the programs I will admit is a bit pricey as it is a private tech school, but they do have loan options. I just recently paid off my student loans after working part time for 3-4 years as a dental hygienist. Also keep in mind that the program was only about 1.5 years full-time vs the 2 years you would expect to go through from one of the renown lottery local community college programs at foothill, Diablo, etc. By all means if you are lucky enough to get into those programs go there as you will save a ton of money, but education-wise my education was on par with those schools. After we graduated I received many phone calls checking up on me to ask if I had been employed yet, so they do seem to check up on how we were doing after going through the program. If you are coming into this clinic as a patient, understand that this isn't a dental practice. Carrington makes nothing from having you come in for their essentially free treatment. They don't "prey" on people without dental insurance because Carrington receives no benefit from you coming into the department for treatment, and rather it is more of a service to you and the local community. That being said, you will be treated by STUDENTS and their only gain from you will be clinical experience. Treatment planning and the amount of time you spend in the clinic will also be ALOT longer than it would be if you were to go to a dental office. I'm talking about a few days of you coming in for appointments vs an hour at a dental office. To Nichole's review, since I can't directly respond to your review: I am unaware of how your periodontal health was before treatment but most likely you had gum disease. If you are having gum recession after treatment that you didn't expect, then I am afraid maybe you didn't have enough patient education. That is something that just happens if you have gum disease and receive treatment for it. Your gums recede because they are swollen initially and you already have bone loss around your teeth. Once they firm up they will naturally recede to match your bone levels. As a practitioner it triggers me when the patient blames the doctor or staff for the patient's own negligence even though as practitioners we have the heart to basically do charity work for them. It is sad that you feel entitled to free treatment and then blame your healthcare provider. Just my two cents here.Unsullied Roarrior

Hi my name is Jessylynn I am from Philippines, migrated here USA 2009, I know in myself that my passion in Dentistry will stop but by year 2016 I met former student of Carrington College, she’s working a Dental Hygienists now. Thanks to her because she encourage me to go to go back to school and try to inquire. The staffs in Carrington College are friendly even the janitor and security guard and front desk. I remember the first day doing my inquiring in this school, I met Troy he was my enrollment advisor! He’s so nice, funny and cool! I like him! I like how he help me and my friend to get this in the program. He extends his arm to help you for what you need to get in the program and take note I don’t have money, nor credit score or anything financial. It’s true that the private school is so PRICEY! I can’t blame or complain about it because it’s private school and you’ll graduate in 1.5 years not including pre req. Troy explained everything about it, how you’ll pay and how much you’ll pay. Honestly, I didn’t know what I’m doing but with the help of Carrington College staff I would say I owe them from what I became now because they helping me to make my dream come true even you don’t have money for now, it’s like get your degree and pay later! I am now in Term 2 in Dental Hygienist Program! Carrington College of Dental Hygiene Program Department’s environment is peaceful. The faculty are very friendly. This the place where you can learn many things. I honestly can say, their way of teaching is not intimidating, they work harder just to make sure their student doing a good job especially in the clinic, your practice skills (oh, a lot of COMPETENCY, which is to test your skills, if you failed then they’ll teach you until you get it) and lecture. I love how they focus on your hand skills, your ergonomic (protecting your back, I don’t even know that!) BASIC is life! They teach you not only to learn how to treat patient but they care also for you to love the job so you’ll not injure your overall health! Mrs. Clark is the one who welcomed us in this Program, she’s so gentle when she talk and I love her teaching in Radiology subject and not only her you’ll love. All the DH department staff are friendly and funny that what’s make me go to school everyday and excited to LEARN. They’re all knowledgeable, professional, and they will not stop failing you until you get the PERFECT skills, they’re not judgmental they’re always asking “DO YOU HAVE QUESTION?”. One of our Instructor said “MISTAKE IS A OPPORTUNITY”. I realized being perfection is not what make you GREAT! I don’t wanna brag everything but their teaching reached my beyond expectation. I can’t wait to finish my Program and start to work!Jesselyn Berganio

This particular location has some very wicked women working in positions they’re obviously not qualified to work in. If you’re a woman of African descent, they work so hard to keep you down and out of the programs, if the salary will start at a healthy rate. Yet they’re pretty rude and condescending to EVERYONE! They try to intimidate the students for having questions. They’re very unsupportive and unprofessional. They will gang up on you, knit pick with you, hold unnecessary bully like meetings with you, etc. these women can’t handle the responsibility that their position Carrie’s . They’re old as Medusa and have the audacity to mock an older student. It’s a shame that after all that women have been through overtime , these women believe that it’s their job to try and hold another woman back. I had a heart issue due to a medication I had taken while I was a student there. I was admitted into the hospital, and still managed to attend my class the following day from my hospital bed. These women verbally attacked me in private the first day I returned to campus. I was still weak from being ill, which caused me not to be able to properly defend myself. Fortunately, I was able to record the second attack—all because I inquired about what the protocols would be in the event that students became ill with covid. They wanted to meet with me again privately, the meeting took approximately 1 hour, yet my question was never answered. Instead they brought up all kinds of other silly things, while gazing at me like I was an experiment. There’s a lot more I have to say about this campus and it’s Surgical Technology Director, Lab instructor, and the Director of Student Services. They behaved like pure monkey’s.Tara Newton-Bailey

My husband and I absolutely love this place!!! We originally moved from the Midwest to here so we were worried about where we would go to continue my dogs care. We stayed with one vet office her entire 5 years so we were nervous about finding a new one. Once we took this chance to come here with the reviews and location, we’re never looking back! Dr. Silver and the staff are amazing and so caring it’s unbelievable. My lovely and not so nice German shepherd is not the most friendliest dog, but they treat her like any other dog without any judgement! It’s so refreshing to see the care and love they have towards my pet and it makes me so happy to be here. They’re always attentive and patient when answering all my questions even if they may sound stupid. They’re always doing the best they can to accommodate my pets situation and giving me the best care possible within my budget. Lillian I believe has the best sense of humor, is knowledgeable and just so kind in taking care of my dog! I don’t know any other place who would do the same! I know they’re always busy and short staffed and I appreciate all that they do! We’re going to move across town soon but I plan on staying with them as long as possible with how good they are! ☺️Anna Seelig

We love the Veterinarians and staff here! Dr Warren is our normal Veterinarian, but we have seen multiple veterinarians at Boca Park. The Veterinarians are absolutely wonderful! Dr. Warren, Dr Spaulding, and Dr. Hill have been amazing with My Miniature Schnauzers, since our move here two years ago. They always know how to take care of all of my girl’s health problems. The same day appointment fee can be expensive… However, I always leave knowing the problem, and how to treat it! It is absolutely worth the assurance that my girls can get same day care, when they need it! They have never turned me away. The Veterinarians also always follow up to make sure my girls are doing well after treatment! Thanks Boca Park Animal Hospital!angelle curry

I have been a patient of Boca Park Animal Hospital since 2014. My baby was just a BABY right about 6-8 weeks when we brought her to Dr Ensign for a second opinion and long story short…here we are today, going strong with EVERY doctor on staff having cared for my girl at least once. Every single person at Boca Park Animal Hospital is wonderful, nice, respectful and amazing. We recently had a little health scare and I was torn to pieces when I picked up the fur ball and I have never had any doctor or staff or any establishment be so nice and understanding. From me and my Gigi, we thank you all so much for everything and love you all to pieces!Courtney Wehrman

The teachers here are amazing and wonderful and do not get enough credit for all the little things they do. I was in the vet tech program. All the instructors for vet tech actually are RVT which is cool, cause they have seen so many things and worked in the field for so long, they are all so very knowledgeable. Most of the employees who worked in the office are also very helpful and kind. No one in the entire Carrington College Pleasant Hill location regarding faculty (including staff, office workers, janitors and teachers) gets the recognition they deserve. Everyone i met in the time during my program all went above and beyond what they were paid to do or had to do because the instructors and teachers really care about you and really want you to reach your goals. Any problems or issues you may be having the teachers will always help you or they will find someone who is better equipped to help and understand your issues or problems. The 2 years i spent here because thats how fast you can get your degree and diploma in a 2 year period went back so quick and i would completely do it again. All the teachers have there own way of giving you the information you need but it is your job to study it. My teacher was awesome so there were times when the teacher would stay later then needed just to help me and other studys or review any information that we werent completely comfortable with yet. It's nice to know that the staff, instructors and teachers really want you to know this information and will not get pass anyone who doesnt know there information. You get to work with so many beautiful animals both which students, and teacher bring in from there homes as well as the labs we attend to practice on larger animals such as horses and cows. It was all just one big thrilling event. All teachers, instructors and staff deserve a raise for the wonderful things they do just on a daily basis to help others that goes unnoticed. During my time here at the Carrington College Pleasant Hill campus i also worked there as a student worker. All staff members are overworked and underpaid. The higher up management people who get paid to do a job that they pan off on the others who are lower in ranked get all the opportunities as well as all the recognition for things they have no part in. I have seen multiple people quit or be fired for what others have done which is not right. The CEOs or whomever is at the top and makes the decision for everyone under them needs to pay more attention to there employees and actually realize what they are doing and know what they are worth. The instructors and teachers do not work here because of the pay or recognition that they so rightfully deserve and need, NO. They work here because they love the people here, because they love the students here, it's because they love what they do and they want us students to make sure we love it to. They do not want us paying so much money and taking all these classes if it is not something we actually want and like to do and are good in it. If all the little dogs got paid more and well enough as well as proper trainer for new employees and not just throwing them to the wolves making them feel overwhelmed and adding boatloads of paperwork to a single person already under stress and having a shoulder looked over every minute wondering if they are messing up because no one was there to properly train them, then the employees at carrington college pleasant hill campus would probably stay longer and would not leave due to things being mislooked at. Thank you for your time. I will always love and miss all the teachers i had, all the instructors who taught me something and all the staff members who became my friends both in and out of the work place.satin williams

My experience enrolling in Carrington College was amazing with Annaque Dean helping me with the process. She is so nice and caring I am really happy she help me to star my carrier as a Medical Assistant she believe on me and I will always be greatful with her for all her support and she still there for me I know I can come to her with any questions or problem i might be straggling and she will always help me. She is the best 😊Maria Gutierrez

My teacher for the Dental Assisting course is top notch. Encourages questions and helps students not just learn the information to pass the course but understand the information in order to have a successful future career. For anyone considering a career as a dental professional, Carrington has an A+ program.Whatssit Touya

I've been taking my cats to Lone Mountain now for several years. I have never worked about my cats under the care of this attentive, caring, professional, and knowledgeable staff ! Such amazing and caring individuals from the front desk to the veterinarians . All due to the amazing work of their long time owner who goes above and beyond for staff and clients daily to ensure the health and safety of staff, clients, and the pets we entrust to them. I have a challenging cat myself. He has been mistreated at other facilities. .I know I can leave him here and he is handled with extra special care. This clinic cares! They take the extra steps to keep pets safe and comfortable as well.as their clients. During Covid they have implemented extra measures for client communication. Sure, it can be hard to sit outside and wonder about your baby. They made curbside as interactive as possible with interactive tablets in the clinic and in the hands of the client. They call during your pets visit or send someone out to see you. The lengths this staff go to for a client and their beloved baby are incredible. The lengths they go to daily to ensure the well being of all, staff, clients, and pets is phenomenal. This clinic deserves commendations for how they have maintained themselves during some.od the most challenging of times..always giving of themselves despite the daily hardships surrounding us all. I would never want my boys in the hands of anyone else.thank you Lone Mountain for caring about all of us!Daryl G. Frazetti

Lone Mountain Veterinary Hospital is all about the best possible experience for the pets. They believe in providing a fear free visit for their patients. They are consistently creating ways to educate owners on the care and services they can provide and are willing to open their clinic for hands on demonstrations. This is a fun filled team with the animals best interests at heart. The care they show their patients carries over into the genuine care they have for staff and clients alike. They are supportive of the community they work and live in and I have seen them tirelessly trying to reunite lost pets with their owners both through networking and with boots on the ground. This is a top notch vet hospital with caring and conscionable professionals at the helm.Lori McCaskill

This clinic is truly outstanding in every possible way. They care deeply about the animals and the people they serve, and their vets are extremely knowledgeable and skilled. They literally saved my dog's life after two other clinics refused or were unable to help him. They are also very fair with their pricing and don't try to push or sell you on anything that isn't necessary. The owner, Margie Quirk, is a wonderful human being who works incredibly hard to make Lone Mountain a safe and inviting place — and she succeeds. I drive pretty far to take my animals to this clinic, but it is absolutely worth it. If I could give them ten stars I would!S Kauffmann

I love that the staff and doctors are willing to provide me and my pets with their time. Most Vets will hardly interact with the client and we are nothing but a revolving door. Luckily Valley Vet has individuals who will treat me and my pets as more than just dollar signs. One Vet was so kind he carried my 75 lbs dog to my car after having surgery. Its little things like that that go a long way. Darcy spent over 30 minutes talking to me about neutering and the pros and cons of dew claws being removed. Other offices wont give me that customer service but Valley Vet does. Ill never go anywhere elseAdrian Olson

Best place ever for your pet's health care needs. My wife and I are new to the area and our new furbaby was very sick and needed emergency care we went to another Veterinarian clinic (North Hills) in the area but they had little concern and turned us away because they were not accepting new patients. Valley Veterinarian clinic took us in and treated us with the compassion we were looking for. We owe them a great debt of gratitude. We highly recommend Valley Veterinarian clinic for your pet's health care needs.Ron Covington

The staff here are very caring and very helpful, the prices are very reasonable . My puppy wasn’t feeling well , called so many vets nobody would see him and the prices were outrageous, my last hope was valley veterinary clinic they didn’t have availability till June 14th. But somehow they seemed to get him in the next day because they care! So happy I chose this place couldn’t of chose a better loving caring place. The Doctor made my puppy better!Teresa Resendez

I’m at my final stage at Carrington College, because I finished my extenship and in the process of getting hired. And I just wanted to give thanks to Felicia, Alex, Darshweni, Career services ( Lenni and Eva), Corey, Angel, Eleni, Cynthia, Michelle, Jasmine, Mark, my classmates of course, and Carrington College staff for helping me with a better career and to prepare myself for the medical assistant role in the healthcare system. This is a great college to attend for training/lectures to achieve your goals! You will be amazing with the technology and staff working here! You won't regret it!Kevin Boyer

I was very interested in beginning a career in the medical field and and when I inquired I was introduced to Dena and she was extremely helpful with everything i needed to know and answered all my questions, she helped me with enrolling, and it was a breeze. The entire process was easy and quick and I’m already finishing my 1st term. Throughout my entire term Dena kept in touch and made sure I was doing ok and asked if I ever needed anything, she has been more than helpful and attentive. I would recommend anybody contemplating coming here to do it!Tiesha Meacham

Carrington’s staff is so supportive, and truly wants to see their students succeed! I’m a student who has only gone through the enrollment process thus far and they all have made me feel so welcomed and excited to start the program. Dena Asefi specifically has pushed for me to start and get into the program, I know that she will be a great resource every step of the way. Very grateful for the organization of starting process and staff that handles that, it has made me very eager to begin and finish the school year!!Isela Gonzalez

We had an emergency with our cat (a senior) and our regular vet was scheduling a week out and the emergency clinics had, at minimum, an 8 hour wait. I called Reno/Sparks vet clinics and no one would schedule her for anywhere from 1 week to 1 month. I called Sierra Veterinary Hospital and was immediately impressed by the level of their care. Our cat was scheduled within two hours and their compassion was unparalleled. The visit was thorough, prices were fair, and everything was explained to us in detail. Our pet was diagnosed promptly and the vet even made recommendations to treat other minor issues our cat has had for a while… things that other vets had not been able to treat successfully in the past. The doctor and staff were amazing! Our cat started to improve within 24 hours of her visit and is now dramatically better. If you need a knowledgeable and compassionate vet or even if you need emergency care in the Northern Nevada area, I highly recommend the Sierra Veterinary Hospital.Elles Starke

I had a beautiful 11 month old Cane Corso pup in the hands of a certified trainer to overcome his fear based aggression towards strangers. To make a long and very sad story short, our beloved boy's trainer was frustrated with our dog(he was a handful) and since he, Kevin Peters of K-9 Avengers, was a regular client at Sierra Vet….. Sierra Vet , knowing Kevin was only a trainer, NOT AN OWNER, took the trainers WORD and without our consent euthanized our dog. They put a rabies leash on my scared puppy, dragged him inside and killed him. Absolutely without my consent as registered owner. This clinic had no moral compass or values. BEWARE!Scott Kelley

The entire team is extraordinarily passionate, invested in my pet and treat me and my pet as if we were the most important patients that they have. Always professional, personal, and caring. The Dr's take time to answer all questions thoroughly, with empathetic listening they are articulate with genuine patience. I KNOW that my pet receives the finest and most complete attention she needs every time I visit. I've never gone and will never, ever go anywhere else. It is truly a Must to be a patient here for the best reason… the health and Best Practice in treatments SVH gives, with love, for our pets! <3Jill Gallinatti

Fairgrounds Animal Hospital has some of the most caring and capable staff we have ever encountered. They worked to get us in on a cancellation appointment, as our dog's need for vet care was quite apparent. They were so good with our husky, Scarlett, and spent all the time needed to figure out her diagnosis. Dr. Wehrman was an angel as she gave us the results that were terminal. We trusted her honesty and her thoroughness in helping us look at all possible options for our girl. Darby also was so kind and loving to Scarlett. While we unfortunately won't be needing a vet for a while now, when we do in the future, we will be back at Fairgrounds Animal Hospital.Eva Thomas

Monday's visit didn't go at all as planned. We went to get Daisy micro-chipped and when they checked her the database told them that she was reported as lost. Obviously this was terrible news to us as we love her very much. During this whole process all staff we encountered were fabulous. We so appreciated getting our own room when you were obviously very busy. The Vet tech was patient and professional. In the end, the previous owner decided to give her to us and she will remove the documentation of her ownership with the company she was registered with. If it hadn't turned out well for us having a quite place to say goodbye would have meant the world.Jennifer Thornton

I've been with fairgrounds animal hospital since it was just a little vet office across from fire department in sunvalley then it was Dr. Johnson's veterinarian, I've taken several of my pets to him & the vets at his other veterinarian's at fairgrounds animal hospital & everyone there is very kind & caring when it comes to our fur babies, so put your love & trust into them. Thank you so much for your love, kindness, patience, & helpfulness when it comes to low funds for those of us on a tight budget & fixed incomes without any judgement too!!!Christy Laird

When we walked into Scheels we had no expectations of buying a piece of furniture, we weren’t aware that they sold it. Browsing around we came across a little section of furniture tucked away in a corner of the store. We took a look and found a beautiful console/buffet to match our dining room set. We we’re informed that the floor model had been sold and it would require a special order. It was our luck that we were being waited on by the Furniture manger, Alanah. She was efficient, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Once the piece arrived we were notified and it was promptly delivered. Jackson, the delivery manager was accompanied by Will. They both were fabulous and left us a personalized Thank you card. All around excellent customer service, which is often neglected by most other. Thank you as Scheels, we’re customers for life!Sande Mayott

Big would be a understatement, this place is huge! Not only does it have most sport equipment it includes smaller shops inside that either sell snacks or drinks. Rather than saying what do they have it's better to say what DON'T they have. SCHEELS even includes games for family and children to mess around while they shop. You can't get bored from coming here!john Barriga

Love this place! It's the biggest sports and outdoor store I've ever seen. I love the patriotic feeling of the store with displays of our founding fathers/presidents. Great selection of products for whatever your needs are, and the staff was very helpful and always nearby without being intrusive. You could definitely tell you weren't in California anymore.Mike McLaughlin

Dr. Matzke is a great, compassionate veterinarian and person. It’s so tough having to make the decision to euthanize a beloved pet, so finding the right professional to guide a family through it is absolutely critical for dog lovers. Our 13 y/o dog had suddenly developed a certainty terminal condition, but we thought she was stable enough to last a couple days so we scheduled an in-home euthanasia later that week. But shortly after scheduling it, she took a turn for the worse and we knew it was time. Luna hated going to the vet, which made us worry about having to bring her in there for the procedure, but Dr. Matzke made time for us that evening and enabled the most peaceful end imaginable. She was very attentive to our dog’s story and took the time for each of us to say goodbye to Luna before her passing. All of us (including our other dog) are better off in the coping/grieving process because of it. I have no doubt that Rover Vet Care is the best resource in town for humanely putting your companion to rest. Thanks so much, Dr. Matzke.Cody Burke

Katie’s service is amazing. If you want to comfortably have your pet pass at home, she is the vet to call. She answered her phone immediately upon calling and was incredibly accommodating with her schedule to be at our house. When she arrived she was so compassionate, empathetic, and gentle with my Butters. Although devastated that we had to put my baby down, she came and took such delicate care of him to make sure everything went as peaceful as possible. She even provided the most special paw ornament I will forever cherish. Thank you so much, the world needs more veterinarians like you 💜Elizabeth Koester

Dr Matzke is a wonderful and caring woman. She was extremally professional and understanding from the first point of contact to even after the end. The love and compassion she had for Bandit could almost mirror that of his family. Dr Matzke knew different programs that would provide assistance and what each of them covered. She was not just there to help our our baby. She was there to make sure we were taken care of as well. If anyone ever ask me for a good veterinary doctor, it will defiantly be Rover Veterinary Care. Thank you SO much!Edward Williams

I went here the other evening to receive a full body massage from a student in the Massage Therapy class. It was only $25 & a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly & the student did an excellent job. I will be returning for future ones.The Pixie Post

The teachers are badass. They're kind and help you out any way they can. Even if your homeless. They will help you with finding a place, with food vouchers everything. Job. But you have to be a student. Absolutely love TMCC!Misty Autum

My kids (dogs) were previous patients of Dr. Jeanies. I found out she had moved to Options Veterinary Care. I called the office and asked if I could speak with her or leave a message for her to call me, they asked if the kids were patients of theirs, which I said no, but explained that Dr. Jeanie has seen them at her previous place and I was told that if my dog was not a patient there that I could not talk to her or leave her a message to have her call me. I am very disturbed by this. My entire family loves Dr. Jeanie and I would love to have her continue to be our vet, which I would’ve transferred everybody there, but the office person who answered the phone was really rude and was not willing to listen to me and at least give Dr. Jeanie the message so she could decide on her own whether to call me or not. I guess since veterinary care is such big business now, you must have plenty of other patients to not need to care about new ones to the business, old ones to the vet I asked to speak with. Dr. Jeanie is one of the best and I am very sorry she is not able to continue taking care of my babies because we were not a patient of this hospital but was a patient of hers. Very disappointedSuzanne Schmitt

***UPDATE 06/02/22*** I took my sweet Cookie in today for "still sneezing". She got a long-acting non-steroidal injection, a full check-up, antibiotics, and her rabies shot. It was a one-week wait since it wasn't an emergency. Dr. Jeannie was the vet and she spent 30 minutes with us expressing everything. I 💜 OPTIONS! ***Old post from (March?)*** I had a sick little dog who was sneezing and coughing so I called Options Veterinary Care. They got me in right away. Their fees are 50+% less than the last vet we visited. We scheduled a teeth cleaning, which was done 2 weeks after the initial visit. The staff are so very kind and take their time with you and your pet, plus they have top-of-the-line brand new equipment. I highly recommend Options Veterinary Care!B Hartman

The vets are so wonderful! They treat my dogs with love and care, they're incredibly friendly and helpful. They answer all my questions. Even though my dogs don't like the vet (like most) they've always been very well behaved with them. As for pricing, it's cheap and affordable which I'm grateful for. After one of my dogs got sick, a different vet charged us 500$ just to tell us that he was experiencing a symptom due to his periodontal disease, and the way they treated him was not okay, so I decided to look for a new vet. I found this place, and immediately fell in love. They took very good care of him, and it was much much cheaperKallie Mendoza

I have ALREADY told a couple of friends about your fabulous clinic. Where to start? First off, was the availability to book the next day appointment, not a month out like some other vets. Complimentary 1st visit. This was HUGE because I cannot tell you how much money i have wasted going to a vet 1 time. Paid top dollar. Never going back again. Your location is state of the art. New and most importantly CLEAN and well decorated too. I did not wait long at all. One vet we went to years ago would keep you waiting 1-3 HOURS before you finally got in. Not the case here! The assistant was cheery, professional, just wonderful. Very though. And, THANK YOU for examining my dog in front of my face,because two former vets i used to go to, take the dog to the back room just to hear a heartbeat, look in the mouth, ears or do the overall simple exam. WHY? I dont like that at all. What are they trying to hide? What's up with that and why do they think their customers want that? No one wants that! By the way, one of dogs that was "examined" in the back room was given a clean bill of health. A couple days later, I noticed she had a visible pea sized cyst near her nipple. Obviously he never really did a though exam. So never again. I appreciate Creature Comforts showing us that you do your job and doing it well, I might add, for all the world to see. This gives me piece of mind and now Max is your dedicated patient. We look forward to seeing you in the future. We elected for the Senior Wellness Plan which seems amazing already. Max is coming in for some tests and getting ready for his dental cleaning. Thank you to you and your entire staff.Ruby Zimmie

We have been part of the Creature Comforts family for 8 years. Our Doberman Pincher, Breezy, has had more than her share of medical challenges. We would not have her today if not for the care and expertise of the doctors, nurses, techs and staff at this amazing hospital. We are forever grateful. Both of our dogs love to go to the vet. the little one starts to bark and spin in the car as we approach the hospital. She knows she is in for a giant helping of free love from everyone inside. Thank you all for caring for our pets, and loving them like we do.Patrick Fitzgerald

The staff at creature comforts has been so very kind and professional. We have had a few urgent situations with our dogs and they have always helped. We love the vets so much here that I also had my son bring his dog from Los Angles to see the vet because she was not eating and under weight. The prices are fair and they are very up front about cost prior to the treatment. When we text we get an fast response. I feel that this is the best place for our fur babies. Thank you for outstanding service!Debbie Pintacura
