Carson City pets deserve veterinary care rooted in both science and compassion. As Nevada's state capital continues to grow, pet owners here increasingly seek practices offering more than standard appointments and prescriptions. At Mountain View Animal Hospital & Holistic Pet Care, we've built our reputation on providing thorough medical care while respecting the bond between you and your companion animal.

Our AAHA-accredited hospital serves dogs, cats, and other small animals throughout Carson City with a collaborative approach to health management. From preventive wellness visits to complex medical cases, we combine traditional veterinary medicine with holistic treatment options, giving you a broader toolkit for maintaining your pet's quality of life.

Medical Services Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs

Every animal presents unique health considerations based on their age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history. Our veterinary team conducts complete physical examinations during wellness visits, assessing everything from dental health to joint mobility, heart function to skin condition.

Diagnostic services available in our facility include digital radiography, ultrasound imaging, in-house laboratory testing, and specialized screenings. Rather than sending samples to external labs and waiting days for results, we process blood work, urinalysis, and other tests on-site, allowing us to discuss findings and treatment options during your visit.

Our vaccination protocols focus on protecting your pet against preventable diseases while considering their individual risk factors. We discuss which vaccines make sense for your pet based on their exposure level, lifestyle, and health status. Some vaccinations remain optional, and we respect your role in deciding what’s appropriate for your companion.

Integrative Approaches for Chronic Conditions

Many Carson City residents appreciate having alternatives when conventional treatments don’t fully address their pet’s health challenges. Our integrative veterinary approach offers additional pathways for managing various conditions.

We provide holistic therapies that work alongside traditional medicine:

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine incorporating herbal formulas and dietary modifications suited to your pet’s constitution
Veterinary acupuncture for pain relief in pets with musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, and inflammatory diseases
VOM and ANMR techniques using gentle manipulation to restore proper spinal motion and reduce muscle tension
Nutritional counseling focused on species-appropriate diets and therapeutic feeding plans

These treatment options help address arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, and immune system concerns when conventional approaches need support.

Surgical Care and Dental Health

When medical management isn’t sufficient, surgical intervention may become necessary. Our surgical services range from routine spay and neuter procedures to more complex operations including mass removals, orthopedic repairs, and abdominal exploratory surgeries.

Before surgery, we conduct pre-anesthetic blood work and review your pet’s medical history to identify any factors requiring adjusted protocols. Our team walks you through what happens the day of surgery, what to expect during recovery, and how to support healing at home.

Dental health impacts more than your pet’s teeth. Left untreated, oral infections can affect heart, liver, and kidney function. We perform routine dental cleanings and oral assessments in-house under anesthesia, addressing periodontal disease before it progresses. Non-anesthetic cleanings through Animal Dental Care provide an option for qualifying patients needing preventive maintenance.

Supporting Feline Health and Comfort

Cats require different handling, environmental considerations, and medical approaches compared to dogs. Our Feline-Friendly certification reflects specific training in low-stress feline handling techniques and our commitment to creating calmer veterinary experiences.

We’ve designed a dedicated exam room for cats away from dogs, reducing the stress triggers that make veterinary visits particularly challenging for felines. Our Fear-Free approach uses pheromone therapy, quiet handling, and patient-paced examinations to make visits less traumatic.

Building Partnership Around Your Pet’s Health

Effective veterinary care depends on open communication between pet owners and veterinary professionals. We take time during appointments to understand your observations, concerns, and questions.

Fewer than 15% of veterinary practices nationwide earn AAHA accreditation. The American Animal Hospital Association evaluates hospitals on approximately 900 quality standards covering medical protocols, equipment maintenance, staff training, and surgical facilities. This designation indicates our commitment to practicing at a higher standard than required by basic licensing.

Whether your pet needs routine preventive care, management of a chronic condition, or treatment for an acute illness, Mountain View Animal Hospital & Holistic Pet Care welcomes Carson City families seeking quality veterinary services. Schedule an appointment by calling (775) 853-6900 to discuss how we can support your pet’s health through every life stage.
