Mountain Shadows Animal Hospital

We take our puppy to Kit and he always takes such great care of our puppy. He is very knowledgeable just great all the way around.

I had a great experience here. While traveling, my pup Bowie was due for vaccinations- it didn't take long at all to get an appointment. Everyone in the office was very kind and helpful, especially Susan at the front desk. Several weeks after our visit, the office helped me obtain the long term medication my pup needs (for his autoimmune disease) when our "regular" vet back home wasn't at all helpful. Susan made sure Bowie got his meds the same day! It's so refreshing to visit a vet where it doesn't feel like they are trying to squeeze out every dollar they can. I have been to veterinary offices all over California, Nevada and New York and I found the prices to be extremely reasonable here in comparison. I definitely recommend!

Kind and caring ❤️

I have a rescue dog who is usually terrified of people he doesn't know and tends to be highly reactive, especially in new situations. When his shots came due, I went to Mtn. Shadows and told them that I had a highly reactive dog needing his boosters. They were understanding and cleared the office for me to bring him into the exam room. Now Bandit will loose his cool with everyone and everything in these types of situations, but to my surprise, he took it like a champ. Instead of having to carry 65 lbs of him thru the office, he walked in with me with minimal hesitation. He did stiffen up and and was a little defensive in his posture, but he pretty much kept it together and went into the exam room with me. While waiting for the vet, Bandit was engaged, curious of his surroundings and responsive when I talked to him. Situations like this would usually leave him paralyzed in fear. Instead, he was sniffing things out and checking under the door to see what was happening on the other side with ears up and even some tail wagging. When the vet came it, he wasn't comfortable with a stranger being that close to him and went right into his defensive mode. We had to do a muzzle just long enough to do the shots. The vet worked quickly and Bandit was unmuzzled and back off the exam table in under a minute. On the way out, Bandit was a little uneasy, but still curious about his surroundings. And even though he left a little timid, he walked out with me (no carrying) with ears up and no tail-tucking. I don't know why he handled it as well as he did, but I would guess it's that just the environment didn't feel too threatening for him. Overall, great visit and a healthy dog.

I've had so many veterinarians in my life for cows horses donkeys and dogs. My heart is so thankful for Dr Ryff and his staff. My stories are limitless You will never find better.
