Having been disappointed by 3 different Doctors at 3 different places, I was thrilled to come across this wonderful animal hospital!

Thank you thank you thank you. You don't know how heartbreaking it is to hear" I'm sorry we can't help you" after a receptionist answers the phone and says welcome to blah blah blah animal clinic "how can I help you? "
Yesterday I was at my wits end. My daughter was crying. Her cat ( indoor) had a cut on his back ( unknown origin) that we were watching, to see what would happen for a few days.. After the cat started showing signs of listlessness yesterday, we thought we would need to take him in for care. Every Animal emergent care yesterday in Reno, Nevada answered the phone nicely said "I'm sorry we can't help you unless you want to book appointment 2 weeks out or go 24 Emergency care ..wait three to six hours in your car and they'll will get to you when we can n in this heat with a sick pet..SERIOUSLY?

I decided to go to the next county ..I called Quail Ridge animal Hospital ..the girl was really nice and I apologize for being a little pushy but I had had it at that point... She said " we could get you in at 12:40 PM today"... My daughters cat was treated with the upmost care and consideration... Was given antibiotics... and the wound was cleaned. I. can't say how much I appreciate that thoughtfulness and kindness, along with professionalism... Again, it's so sad that Reno is becoming one of the best places to live and you can't even get emergency care for the same day. unless you want to pay a lot of money or wait in your car in the heat...
I will use Quail Ridge and refer Quail Ridge to any one who needs EXCELLENT emergency care for their pet. Thank you thank you , thank you...

Great vets, awesome staff, but tries to split a 300 dollar payment between my wife and I a day later even though we handed the cashier two cards my card was charged twice.

I've taken my dog here for the last almost 2 years, and my Fiance has taken his dog here for the last 6 years. This is a good vet clinic and i was very happy with the service. Until today when i brought my dog only to find they don't take care credit anymore without any notice to their customers. very disappointed and will most likely be moving vets.

I absolutely recommend them. They are all very friendly and my dogs seem very calm. You don't have to wait long for your appointment time. Very reasonable prices and way better than the other big vet in the area.

I've been using Quail Ridge Animal Hospital for a number of years. They've always treated my animals and I with the utmost respect. They are fairly priced and make sure they do everything to help without breaking the bank. I really enjoy their staff and doctors. Thanks Quail Ridge!

I've been going here for a few years. Wonderful people. I always feel welcome. I own a reptile, other places refused to see him. The doctor was very knowledgeable, and awesome to talk with. Fast, attentive, and friendly. Nothing but smiles. Thank you! Kaa, recommends for all your reptiles.

Such an amazing little vet hospital. Everyone in there is so kind and so awesome. We see the exotic doctor and even their littlest patients are treated with just as big of love. Highly recommended! Love, Jaime Ashley and little Thea

I had a hard time finding a place that did bully ear cropping and this place was amazing. Well worth the 4 hour drive. The staff was very friendly and the office was clean. Pumpkin Spice was well taken care of.

I'm one of the most demanding veterinary clients in the country since I work with exotic animals, particularly wolves. Lesli and her team are remarkable. They've cured my malamute's limp with stem cells and PRP, repaired a folding fracture to one of my wolves' hips, and Dr. Hewitt handles my most challenging animal, a female wolf, with the skill of a wilderness technician.

I spend over $20,000 per year just on the preventative care for my animals. I could go anywhere (and have) to make sure my canine family gets the absolute premium treatment at every turn. While I live in Tahoe, I gladly make the drive to Carson City to see the amazing people at Quail Ridge. If Dr. Hewitt were an MD, she'd be my physician. I love these people. They're simply the best dog-repair shop in the country!
