Overview
Established as an independent primary care hospital in 1972 by Dr. Woodrow Allen, SVH opened its doors in the front half of a feed store on the east side of Nevada’s state capital: Carson City. In the shadow of Lake Tahoe, the team of doctors leading this hospital began their pursuit of excellence, spurred on by a desire for innovation and treating clients and patients like the friends and family they are. That attitude holds today with our team of professional and wonderfully courteous client coordinators, veterinary assistants, veterinary technicians, and boarding attendants, not to mention our knowledgeable and experienced veterinarians
Mission — Our hospital is committed to providing our community with an environment of compassionate pet care where love is shared, education is valued, and innovation is paramount. Integrity is our compass, and we endeavour to collaborate with our patients and their families to provide the highest quality of medicine and lifelong partnerships
