Animal Hospitals in Reno

“A variety of tests did not give us the best news ever, but Dr. Roberts was both professional and personable in delivering it. She presented all the facts and options without pressuring or guilting. When asked what she would do for her pet in this situation she was honest and ultimately supportive of my decision for comfort care.

The front desk staff were also empathetic to the situation, but I really have to say that, based on previous experiences with the medical staff here, these five stars are for Dr. Roberts more than the clinic itself.

So if you’re reading this, thank you so much for helping us figure out the situation, determining a plan for the days left, and for sharing some tears and a hug with us. Koala and I are beyond grateful.“

“This was our first visit..was very impressed..great people great love for our two kitties..“

“I recently brought my 11-year-old dog, Worf, to Southwest Veterinary Hospital for surgery, and while it was an emotional and difficult experience, the staff made it much easier to navigate. They were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. The team took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, the staff involved, and what to expect afterward.

When we started discussing scheduling, I mentioned an upcoming trip, and they worked with me to ensure I could be home during Worf's recovery rather than leaving him in someone else's care. They were very transparent about the financial aspects, clearly explaining necessary procedures, optional treatments, and the potential long-term implications of different choices. Despite the high costs, I never felt pressured. They truly helped me make rational decisions during a highly emotional time.

The care they provided was all-encompassing—not just for Worf but for me as well. They genuinely considered my needs as a pet owner while ensuring my dog received the best possible treatment. I highly recommend Southwest Veterinary Hospital for their compassionate, thoughtful, and thorough approach.“

“The staff has been super helpful and kind. They have tried to get us in even when busy. The texting is super helpful when sending in photos of the pets.“

“The vets and the vet techs showed a definite interest in my puppies and would even get down to their level to show them it was safe. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Very friendly staff and knowledgeable! They performed colic surgery on my mustang and he's doing amazing. Highly recommend!“

“We take all of our animals to Peavine. One of our shepherds is a rescue and is very timid, and skittish. All of the vets give her plenty of time to be comfortable and relax. They're all patient and take great care of them. Its the only place we take our animals!“

“We've been taking our poodles to them for years now and the service and care have been great! We have seen all three vets and they are all good. The dental cleaning and dental work is excellent, especially for small breeds. We're very happy to have great health and dental care for our pets.“

“I started taking my pup here several years ago when I first moved to the area. Dr Schmitt has always been very thorough, caring, and patient with us and our furbabies. He's knowledgeable and is great at explaining things to us. The rest of the staff are so friendly and make us feel like family. I highly recommend South Reno Veterinary Hospital, and would continue using them even if it meant driving way across town.“

“The staff are thorough and informative. They take the utmost care of your animals, and are in general very good people. Quit going to Banfield, and bring your loved one here.“

“I'm new to Reno and the team helped me get my sweet cat Pippin in the next day to get his Stomatitis looked at and get some antibiotics and pain meds and recommend a course of tooth extraction. I appreciate the team here.“

“We recently moved to Reno and they have been great. We have/had two elderly dogs and the vets at Klaich have helped them both. Unfortunately through no fault of anybody we lost our large German Shepard recently who had some serious health issues at the end. They were also very great with his end of life care. I know that is sad to post but it’s also important to have people that care about the animal that is part of your family at the end.

We couldn’t be happier with our Vet here and would recommend to anyone. Our other dog is an elderly Lab and he is doing wonderful in their care.“

“The staff is very friendly. The procedure was very quick and efficient and I was in-and-out in 15 min.“
