Veterinary Clinic near Lemmon Valley, NV

Lemmon Valley sits in Reno’s North Valleys along US-395, where many homes come with room for horses, chickens, and a few dogs. It is common for one household here to care for several animals at once, from house cats and senior dogs to a rabbit or tortoise in the back room. Keeping all of those animals healthy is easier when one hospital can see nearly every one of them. Our general veterinary services are designed around that kind of multi-pet household.

Mountain View Animal Hospital & Holistic Pet Care is owned by Dr. Sarah Kalivoda, an integrative veterinarian and certified animal acupuncturist with added certifications in ozone therapy, prolozone therapy, herbal medicine, and Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation. Our team blends conventional medicine with holistic services, so Lemmon Valley pet owners can choose the mix of treatments that suits each animal.

Getting to Our Hospital From Lemmon Valley

Our Reno veterinary clinic is at 6474 Bonde Lane, and Lemmon Valley clients typically take US-395 south through town to I-580. We are open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and surgical patients are admitted between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., so you can drop off on your way to work.

Same-day appointments are often available when a pet is sick or hurt. If several of your animals are due for care, mention it when you call, and we will try to schedule them in the same visit to save you extra trips.

Parasite and Mosquito Protection in the North Valleys

Pets who share pasture, barns, and yards with horses and other animals may face more exposure to intestinal worms, fleas, and ticks. We build a parasite plan around your pet’s actual routine, including how often they roam, hunt, or eat things outside.

In wet years, standing water around Swan Lake and low-lying lots can bring more mosquitoes, and mosquitoes carry heartworm. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, heartworm has been found in all 50 states and can infect dogs, cats, and ferrets, even those that live mostly indoors. Prevention is far easier and less costly than treating an infection, and we can help you choose a product that fits your pet.

Seasonal Health Concerns for Lemmon Valley Pets

Spring and summer bring foxtails and cheatgrass seeds that lodge in ears, noses, and paws. Desert plants and grasses can trigger allergies that show up as itchy skin, chewed feet, and repeat ear infections. Rattlesnakes are active on the surrounding hills in warm weather, and coyotes regularly pass through open lots and along fence lines.

Hot afternoons can push flat-faced breeds, overweight pets, and seniors into heat stress quickly, while winter cold is hard on arthritic joints. Chronic conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, and thyroid disorders need regular rechecks so treatment can be adjusted as your pet ages.

An Integrative Plan for Each Animal

Every appointment begins with a hands-on exam and a conversation about what you have seen at home. When we need more information, in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging can often provide answers the same day. We explain what the results mean and what we suggest doing next.

Then you choose the path forward. A cat with chronic skin allergies, for instance, might be managed with medication, a diet trial, or a combination that includes herbal therapy or NAET. We are clear about what each option can and cannot do, what it costs, and how long it may take to see a change.

What to Do When Your Pet Needs Care Today

Call us immediately at (775) 853-6900 if your pet is struggling to breathe, has collapsed, is bleeding heavily, may have been bitten by a snake, or may have eaten something poisonous such as rodent bait or antifreeze. Outside our hours, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital and bring any packaging from what your pet swallowed.

For vomiting, diarrhea, limping, eye or ear problems, or a pet who is not eating, call during business hours and ask about a same-day visit. Bring a list of current medications and any recent records if your pet has been seen elsewhere.

Calm Visits and AAHA Accreditation

Pets from quiet rural homes can find a clinic visit stressful. Our team uses Fear Free handling methods and gentle restraint, and dedicated cat-only areas keep cats away from dogs while they wait. Mountain View Animal Hospital & Holistic Pet Care is also accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association, a voluntary review of standards for surgery, anesthesia, pain management, dentistry, and more that only a small share of practices complete.
