Sierra Veterinary Hospital: Rinehimer Hope DVM

Sep 2023

I took my cat in for his shots, and the little guy was checked out by the owner, who is a sweetheart of a guy, and he mentioned how bad his teeth were. When I asked how much he quoted about $1400 to $2000. When I asked what would happen if I didn't, he actually choked up and said it would shorten his life span. Wow. I wish human doctors cared as much. How could I say no? Well, three months later and after meeting most of his staff, I'm even more impressed. Why can't my doctors office be like this?

My cat was very sick, was being treated at Carson Tahoe Vet (do not recommend.) I woke up and heard my cat wheezing and howling in pain. I drove to Sierra Vet as fast as I could without an appointment. My cat passed away in my car. They still took him to the back immediately and tried to resuscitate him, unfortunately they were unsuccessful. They brought me to a private room to grieve and asked if I wanted to spend time with my boy. Dr. Kidder sat with me for a few in the room to comfort me. I don't think I ever want to take any of my animals to anyone else. He was so kind and caring. At the end of it all, they didn't even charge me for an emergency visit or them trying to resuscitate. I opted to have my boy cremated, they cremate in house and in my opinion, their price for cremation is very reasonable compared to other prices I've paid.

I got an unexpected new puppy, but she also came with unexpected issues... Sierra Veterinary Hospital was able to get my doggo in fast when other vets couldn't. They were so understanding and attentive to my puppy's needs. I really appreciate how helpful the staff is. I've scheduled her next appointment already, and I'll definitely be signing up for the puppy care package. Thank you, SVH!
