About Sierra Veterinary Hospital

Sierra Veterinary Hospital continues to innovate. Established as an independent primary care hospital in 1971 by Dr. Woodrow Allen, Sierra Veterinary Hospital opened its doors in the front half of a feed store on the east side of Nevada’s state capital: Carson City. Fifteen minutes from 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. We strive to uphold this legacy today and into the future.
