I went here for puppy shots for the dog I adopted, thinking there was no way to go wrong with just vaccines, but I had a terrible experience all around. The staff was very condescending each visit and is not prepared to deal with fearful animals. My pup was also on heartworm medications, and when I called to have them refilled I never heard anything back from them. Very unprofessional and lazy all around.

When you FINALLY get through to a human they tell you to hang up fill out the online new client for you so that and wait for a response , so you call back multiple times often to be put on hold for a chunk of time . Only to be told that the online new client form didn’t go through so hang up and do it all over
Again . So basically they don’t need your business . Would be easier to post that on the web site thanks for consuming all my time

Don’t go here if your dog has an ear infection. They completely misdiagnosed my dogs severe ear infection and had me mistreating it for 1 month which caused him a lot of pain and discomfort. I used this vet because I was able to get in for an appointment quickly, however, it was definitely not worth it. My dog had an ear infection and when I asked for a treatment plan and medicine they told me to keep using the pet store flush and recommended I get two of his teeth pulled? I called back two weeks later saying it wasn’t working and I needed a prescription and he told me to use the flush more

I was kind of disappointed the lady leah i believe. I feel like she wasn't very professional in her questioning. i also felt like she was judging me when it came to where i got my cat. i also got the feeling that they don't get African American clients i felt really uncomfortable. Please hire staff that are comfortable working with people of ever race.

Our two dogs have been going to this clinic. We have been very happy with their great service. Their website is also convenient in setting up appointments and ordering your refills for your pets. The facility is also nice and clean with a good parking space at the back. The staff are very friendly, professional, and accommodating.

I must say from the minute I called their office to the delivery of my baby after being spayed, Fairgrounds Animal Hospital & their staff went above & beyond. If only all vets would follow their exceptional standard. I’m a full time RVer not knowing the Reno area but knowing time was running out for my girl to be fixed. I am SO GLAD I called their office & they had an opening. Kind of scary being in my position to put my baby in their hands. But what a wonderful experience it was. They are professional, friendly, concerned, & gave excellent instructions for home care. Within days Dakota is her

Fairgrounds Animal Hospital has some of the most caring and capable staff we have ever encountered. They worked to get us in on a cancellation appointment, as our dog's need for vet care was quite apparent. They were so good with our husky, Scarlett, and spent all the time needed to figure out her diagnosis. Dr. Wehrman was an angel as she gave us the results that were terminal. We trusted her honesty and her thoroughness in helping us look at all possible options for our girl. Darby also was so kind and loving to Scarlett. While we unfortunately won't be needing a vet for a while now, when we
