How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sierra Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

The staff is always so sweet and loving when I bring my dog in. When I had to say goodbye to one of my cats of 19 years they were so very sad with me and offered me a lot of comfort helping me understand everything that was going to happen through the process. The dr even explained the medical side of it to me beforehand so I was prepared. They even did the cremation and made the sweetest plaque of her paw prints. Afterwords I even got a sympathy card in the mail that all the staff and drs had signed. It made the saddest moment bearable for me and I am forever grateful!

My pup was having a medical emergency. The staff and Dr. Bellgrau at Sierra Veterinary Hospital were all so helpful and compassionate. They took great care of my little boy. I recommend Sierra Veterinary Hospital and will bring my other pet family members to them for care.

Horrific. The lady representing first impressions of this practice ran us off. Our fur baby had/has a decent wound on his paw from what we're assuming a scorpion, and considering it was not only Friday at 12:15 AND other clients awaiting in triage, you'd think there'd be someone to check him out. Considering he's been seen there and is established... But nope, "there are no vets that can see him at all, today. And plus, you need to make an appointment to be seen". The real cherry on top of this complaint was her just having to make it so abundantly clear.. "plus, you're not the person on file who has paid before, so we couldn't see him in the first place." Excuse me?? So I've an 80lb black lab with a front paw injury and you gotta throw in that revenue would come before our pet's health!? Never again. If that is how this business is conducted, you'll never EVER, "care" for any of our own again. Good riddance.

We always bring our animals here. Even though they won't say it, because they don't want to offend the other dog owners a few feet away, I know they think my dog is the best.

The staff at this veterinarian office is simply amazing. They've helped me with having to say goodbye with two of my dogs, helped another get over parvo, fixed a cherry eye and melanoma with another and are always kind and empathetic. My frustration is, with their new hours (no docs on Fridays and closed altogether on Saturdays), it's almost impossible to get a sick dog appointment when you have a sick dog. For this reason alone, I may have to switch vets. This breaks my heart because I love this place.
