Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At Sierra Animal Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.
Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet's health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results. Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet's health through laboratory and diagnostic testing. Annual blood testing helps us determine a normal baseline for your pet.
Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments. Although we handle the majority of your pet's medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.

Everyone at Sierra Animal Hospital really cares about our dogs when we bring them in. Dr. McKinnon is so kind and thorough when she examines our dogs. Bobbie and Mike are wonderful, as well. The whole staff makes us feel like our pets are really being taken care of. Highly Recommend them.

Easy to make appointment. They asked all about our dog. They called him by name. They treated him like he was their own. Dr. Chaney was informative and did not push any treatments. She suggested what to watch for as he grows. They will inform us when shots are needed. The initial visit was very reasonable.

Pure Professionalism and Sincerity.
Our Maxwell Smart Lab, the love of our life was treated with the utmost care here.
If you are moving to this area or just brought on a new fury family member please do not hesitate to entrust them with this vet Clinic.
Special thanks to both vets, Michael and all front office staff. Thanks again for the heart felt care.

I will have to say it is easily impressive upon looks, very professional, clean, and staff were very kind. But my 1st time here with my 10 year old boxer for check up turned into a $500 visit and with suggested future visit would have been thousands more. They tested my boxer for heart worm after they asked me if she had missed any doses of heart guard... I admit I did, but she is an indoor dog did not display with sympotoms. Once they knew this, they came back with a vague positive test. My heart sank believing this.. They said they would sent out the test for confirmation... they then reviewed

Took my new puppy, Harper, in for her first visit. The staff were very efficient and knowledgable. They were courteous and caring. All my questions were answered by the vet tech Mike. He was patient and clear with all his answers and I had quite a few questions with a new puppy. Dr Wolfe was gentle and caring and was so good to Harper taking the time to distract her with a treat when giving her a shot so she did not even notice. I was extremely pleased with our first visit here.

I feel like the staff here really cares for my pets when they go to this vet. I also, think they do a good job with my pets health diagnosis. Some of their prices can be shell-shocking, but they see themselves as high quality pet care. I'm sure being a vet and trying to please everyone is extremely hard, and I know I am one of those 'hard to please' people, but they did an ok job. I might not love some of their prices, but I do think pretty highly of their services and their care.
EDIT: I've been back and unfortunately I felt like I needed to drop my rating some. It's

This place is AMAZING. The vets here truly care about your animal and are very accommodating. The staff here is so amazing, they remember your animal and the little things about them that makes the experience so much easier for your pet. My poor dog had kennel cough recently and they were so accommodating and got her in the same day so they could see her and give us meds to go home with to get her feeling better quickly. They have great customer service and are so very nice. The doctors really listen to your concerns, and don't hurry you at all. Wether it's her annual check up or other

I definitely recommend this veterinary office. The people here really care about you and your pets. They go above and beyond to make sure they're taken care of and that everything goes as painlessly as possible for them. They are very up front about the costs of procedures and discuss it with you beforehand. They also have a fantastic bedside manner, which is something I appreciate. We were seen by Dr. Hillary Wolfe, their technician Mike Palchus, and the receptionist that day was Kelly Nixon. All of them did a wonderful job, despite the unfortunate circumstances.

We've been going to see Dr. Sierra and her wonderful team since they moved into their Apollo Beach Blvd location. We love her and most importantly trust her with our most precious "DogDaughter" :-) She is professional, knowledgeable and most importantly treats your pet like it was her own. Her office is extremely clean and her staff on every visit, has made us feel important and offered the best care for our dog. As with any place, when it comes to your pet, there may be a hefty cost. Dr. Sierra offers savings solutions and even Pet Insurance to help in those needs. In the past

We've been going to Sierra animal hospital for several years now and we're very happy with Dr. Sierra. She is very caring and she pays full attention to our dogs and she always talks to them as if they are human beings. Her office is extremely clean and always smells nice too. We highly recommend this place to any animal lovers. Thanks Dr.Sierra.

We took our 9 year old german shepard to Dr. Sierra last summer. Throughout several major health ordeals over six months, and the eventual "putting to rest" our beloved, the vet and staff were always compassionate, caring, helpful, courteous, and loving to our whole family. Dr. Sierra even offers the service of coming to the house for the euthansia at a very reasonable rate which helped to eased the pain of ordeal. I still use the vet for our other dog and recommend her to everyone I know. She is also more financially reasonable than other vets in the area.
