Alpine-Round Hill Animal Clinic

These folks are the best! Reasonable pricing, extreme competence, and friendly environment all make this the best place around the lake for your pets.

I have been taking all my pets here for 10 years, Dr. Carl and the staff are all amazing. They always fit my girls in even though they are a very busy office. They have very competitive pricing but even though they are affordable there is no lack of service or quality of care. I wouldn’t take my babies anywhere else and rely on them for routine stuff like vaccinations and I’ve taken my pups and cat there for exams, spaying, eye infections, UI, teeth and ear cleaning, and skin rash to name a few. I also call them for advice often cause the girls are usually getting into some kind of trouble. Thank you Dr. Carl and everyone who has helped us out over the years.

I have had nothing but positive experiences from this clinic and their personnel.
Our very beloved Rottweiler Bella had to be put down due to and aggressive cancer at only three years of age, they went out of their way to comfort us on our day of parting, making the procedure as comfortable for me as well as our dog.
I recently received a sympathy card from them… all of them, the whole staff had added words of comfort for our great loss.
My family has had many pets throughout my life and in their passing in the end we have received nothing more than bills and invoices when our animals have passed from other clinics.
This classy act of kindness should clearly show where you should take your animals.
Thank you Round Hill
Stay classy and caring
And need not mention they are always the most affordable.

View tips!!! Horrible. They abused our dog! And weren’t told until we came back to question his huge broken blood vessel and indent on his head. No personality I don’t know what they are doing in this business. STAY AWAY

What a wonderful experience we had this morning! Up here for a vacation and my poor Golden Retriever started showing signs of an ear infection. I called this morning and they fit us in right away. Dr. Kelly was so attentive and thorough. I love my home vet, but I’ve never had anyone take so much time helping me understand the mechanics of Moose’s ear and all the steps I can take at home to help prevent a recurrence. He was so gentle with Moose and so friendly, I can’t say enough about how great our experience was, highly recommend this vet.

Today (September 19,2011 at approximately 4:25 pm, I was referred to Roundhill Animal Clinic when my Dog (Lacy) went face to face with a porcupine. Being as it was after hours and a weekend this was my only choice for veterenary care. I called the number and before I could even explain my situation, I was advised I would encure a $ 160.00 charge just for the Vet to show up at the clinic. After I noted this would be fine, I was told to wait 5 – 10 minutes for a call back from the Vet. In said time, I was phoned and advised the proceedure would cost between $ 600.00 and $ 800.00 depending on surgical need. I expalined this was not an issue and advised to meet at the clinic within half and hour. Upon the Vet;s arrival she screamed at her daughter to «Get her ass out of the car» then asked me if I had kids. Very unprofessional. As we made out way in, the vet tech advised me to fill out a form as they readied the clinic. I then was told by the vet tech that a minimum of $ 200.00 needed to be collected before any services would be provided. Being as I just came from desolation wilderness, this was an issue and I did not have means to pay. He promptly got the Vet who advised me she had been «stiffed over many times and would not touch Lacy until she was paid in advance». I explained I could get the funds and just needed a few minutes to go home and get my checkbook. She said I would have to do that before she would rendure services. I could not believe what I was hearing. I have never seen such lack of compassion or love before. Lacy was in serious pain with quills in her tongue and throat and this monster was denying help until I came up with the «FULL» $ 200.00 MINIMUM!!! She even went on to note that in the ER one must present proof of insurance before any services are rendered. It was very apparent money is all this clinic is concerned with. I knew this was not a place I trusted to care for my loving pet. So I gathered my Lacy and went of the hill to an emergency Clinic that provided SUPERB service at half the cost.
I want all my fellow dog friends to be aware of this. I do not post these words lightly and they will repeated over and over until the message is heard. This will be posted in the Tahoe Daily Tribune and throghout Lake Tahoe basin so that no loving animal will suffer while money is made more an issue than life. This cannot continue in a small community such as Lake Tahoe where Pets are our way of lives and heart nor anywhere else. Just because some people do not pay their bills is in no w a reason to deny services to those in need. its a violation of hipocrtic oath, moral and community. Please hear my words and learn from my horrible experience.

Dr. Kelly and his team are awesome! best vet in town by far! and the most affordable! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

When my sweet geriatric puppy recently became a bit ill, I was upset that I could no longer call on my previous vet, Dr. Kelly Doria who had a roving van and made house calls. My disappointment in having to swap vets was soon dissuaded by Dr. Kelly. His staff is attentive, encouraging and friendly. He took an extremely long time with me, insuring that I completely understood every option, what each one could lead to. His attentiveness to my pet is both appreciated and made me feel at ease. I don’t have the feeling that he would ever recommend excessive or unnecessary courses of action.
When the visit was through, his staff took the time to explain every charge, how much they were and why and I didn’t leave feeling like I’d left behind my entire wallet.

I was here on vacation when I thought my dog developed an ear infection. I called around and decided to go here. The waiting room was a little small, but Dr Kelly and the staff were top notch! Prices were reasonable and Dr Kelly was very informative and helpful. If I lived in Tahoe, Dr Kelly would be my permanent vet!
