Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic
Tahoe City, California
General Info
Tahoe City's Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic offers examination frameworks that align with pets' decompression and physical settling processes before diagnostic handling throughout California. The initiation of intake procedures does not commence with document completion. Staff members watch the animal's entrance while noting any hesitation, circling behavior, vocalizations, or weight anchoring at the door. The clinic observes reactions to determine pace through methods like slow approach, quiet staging, or quick triage based on stress levels. Balance assessment along with ear tension checks and skin warmth evaluation are performed together with hydration status examination, fur texture inspection, oral response testing, breath pattern observation, and resistance to handling. The medical conversation relies on owner feedback as the diagnostic foundation where sleeping positions, seasonal behavior changes, appetite shifts, and recent avoidance patterns all play defining roles. The Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic delivers an extensive array of services including wellness checks, urgent care, geriatric mapping, weight stabilization plans, and pain indexing. Services for pets needing shorter activity periods can be split into several visits. Full-day staggered handling with interspersed break periods might prove advantageous for some individuals. Families can use this model to prevent retraumatization in animals that are noise-sensitive or have undergone surgery and have a history of fearfulness. Post-visit planning involves body-language guides alongside emotional response scales for tracking at home. Owners should modify their speech patterns along with their schedules and routines to support post-care decompression. Follow-up scheduling depends on behavioral readiness instead of fixed timelines. The Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic delivers an intricate veterinary cadence to Tahoe City pet families and nearby California communities that promotes bodily recovery alongside emotional balance while maintaining clinical accuracy.

The folks at Burton Creek are exceptional. I've been using them for all my dog care needs for over 10 years. They have taken care of everything from vaccinations and checkups to major surgery and are always professional and caring. When it comes to pricing they are careful to explain the options and costs up front and in detail. It is so nice to have a local vet that understands pet life in Tahoe and treats us like family. I highly recommend Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic.

We were on vacation and our dog got into some rat poison. We called the hospital and they told us to come in. Once we got there the two girls working were extremely professional and so so kind. Then we met Dr. H, we loved him immediately, he tested our Molly so gentle and kind. The next day we had to bring Molly back in they were completely booked with surgeries and procedures, but saw Molly anyway. Dr H came out into the parking lot to observe Molly walk. I was totally blown away I have had dogs all my life and never had my doctor do that. I wish we lived in Tahoe so we could go back and see Dr. H!! Thank you Dr. H

We were on a family vacation in Tahoe last week when tragedy struck ~ our beloved 16 year-old toy poodle, Frankie, fell from the deck of our cabin. My son and I were at the lake; my sister rushed Frankie to Burton Creek Vet Clinic, who stayed open late to receive and care for her. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the front desk. Doctor Buckton was kind, caring, and empathetic. He spent much time thoughtfully and thoroughly explaining what we were facing and gave us all of our options. In the end, we decided it was most humane to let her go. He allowed me the time I needed to say goodbye. I never felt rushed nor pressured to make a decision. In such a heartbreaking situation, and in an unfamiliar place, it was comforting to know that Frankie received the best care possible. I cannot thank Burton Creek Vet Clinic enough for their professionalism and nurturing care.

I have now been to burton creek animal clinic twice with my two dogs. all I know is there are vets out there that your dog is just another number. But not at Burton Creek! It's like you can can tell everyone from the docs to the receptionist, their hearts are really in it. They're just so kind and answer all your questions and concerns. It's hard to find any business out there that offer the kind of service they do. A lot of times going to the vet isn't a good day in fact for me it was the worst day but they really turned that around and it meant a lot.

When my beloved "Honey the Dog" became ill, I looked on YELP for a local veterinary clinic as I was away from home. From the first phone call, I felt like that there were very caring people at this place.The receptionist/office manager made us feel welcome upon arrival. Spoke with an intern that got my dogs vitals and then met with Dr. Buckton. This man was knowledgible, kind and clearly concerned about my best friend (furry child).He gave me several options. Perhaps I made some poor decisions in retrospect. The truth is that Dr. Buckton is a true professional with a warm heart.Thank you for the superb service from the awesome team at Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic --- WOOF !

I have taken my lab here since he was a brand new puppy. They have been mostly helpful, but when I really need them, they are not always available. My dog had a serious problem this week, he was bleeding from his behind. We called Burton creek immediately to have someone look at our dog. We were told that he was not sick enough for them to see him, even though he was bleeding. They could see him in 3 days, and could not give referral to anyone who could help right away. I have been taking my dog there for 4 years..and they could not make a little time to see him or even refer us to someone who could help. We found Agate Bay animal hospital on Yelp, Dr Bree Montana, who saw our dog immediately, diagnosed him with bleeding stomach and intestines and prescribed several medications. Several days later, our dog is starting to feel better. We were talking with others who have had similar issues with Burton Creek. I will be taking our dog to Agate Bay animal hospital from now on. Dr Montana saved our dog when Burton Creek would not help us.

We just moved from Tahoe to the Bay Area, and my worries about finding a new vet, are only made worse because we just left such an amazing one!Dr. Buckton is in one word... incredible!I read the reviews of others online, before calling to setup an appointment for my pooch, and actually thought "there's no way he's this good". Well, apparently there is a way he's that good! ;) I left feeling lucky I was able to find such a knowledgeable, skilled and friendly veterinarian. Dr. Buckton does indeed have an amazing "dog whisperer" type demeanor with animals (as well as their owners), and someone whom once you meet and have treat your animal, you immediately know you've made the right decision!

The folks who work here are truly caring. My dog got out and was found and dropped off at Burton Creek Animal hospital late Saturday afternoon. The office was closing at 5pm and I was 15 miles away on a bike ride. They stayed there and took the best care of my dog Lucy until I got there at 5:30 pm. I can't thank the front desk and nurses enough.

Dr. Buckton is a highly competent, thoroughly professional veterinarian. Staff at BCVC is exceptional. Dr. B. repaired our whippet after he lost fight with momma bear; and, gave a reassuring second opinion following vestibular syndrome. Never over treatment. Minimal medications. Trustworthy. Burton Creek Vet Clinic & Dr. Buckton are the best.

Simply Awesome!While recently on vacation in Tahoe our Shih Tzu became very lethargic and wouldn't eat. Not a fun situation to be in when you're on vacation. We took her to Dr. Buckton and he and his staff were amazing. He diagnosed her with Pancreatitis and took the time to explain all options and showed genuine care for our pet. The staff was very friendly and patient. I would certainly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for saving our doggies life!

I have now been to burton creek animal clinic twice with my two dogs. all I know is there are vets out there that your dog is just another number. But not at Burton Creek! It's like you can can tell everyone from the docs to the receptionist, their hearts are really in it. They're just so kind and answer all your questions and concerns. It's hard to find any business out there that offer the kind of service they do. A lot of times going to the vet isn't a good day in fact for me it was the worst day but they really turned that around and it meant a lot.

When my beloved "Honey the Dog" became ill, I looked on YELP for a local veterinary clinic as I was away from home. From the first phone call, I felt like that there were very caring people at this place.The receptionist/office manager made us feel welcome upon arrival. Spoke with an intern that got my dogs vitals and then met with Dr. Buckton. This man was knowledgible, kind and clearly concerned about my best friend (furry child).He gave me several options. Perhaps I made some poor decisions in retrospect. The truth is that Dr. Buckton is a true professional with a warm heart.Thank you for the superb service from the awesome team at Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic --- WOOF !

I have taken my lab here since he was a brand new puppy. They have been mostly helpful, but when I really need them, they are not always available. My dog had a serious problem this week, he was bleeding from his behind. We called Burton creek immediately to have someone look at our dog. We were told that he was not sick enough for them to see him, even though he was bleeding. They could see him in 3 days, and could not give referral to anyone who could help right away. I have been taking my dog there for 4 years..and they could not make a little time to see him or even refer us to someone who could help. We found Agate Bay animal hospital on Yelp, Dr Bree Montana, who saw our dog immediately, diagnosed him with bleeding stomach and intestines and prescribed several medications. Several days later, our dog is starting to feel better. We were talking with others who have had similar issues with Burton Creek. I will be taking our dog to Agate Bay animal hospital from now on. Dr Montana saved our dog when Burton Creek would not help us.

We just moved from Tahoe to the Bay Area, and my worries about finding a new vet, are only made worse because we just left such an amazing one!Dr. Buckton is in one word... incredible!I read the reviews of others online, before calling to setup an appointment for my pooch, and actually thought "there's no way he's this good". Well, apparently there is a way he's that good! ;) I left feeling lucky I was able to find such a knowledgeable, skilled and friendly veterinarian. Dr. Buckton does indeed have an amazing "dog whisperer" type demeanor with animals (as well as their owners), and someone whom once you meet and have treat your animal, you immediately know you've made the right decision!

I took my dog here for the first time yesterday. These guys are great. The Dr. took his time and explained things to me in great detail. He answered every question I had and was very clear about what would be happening to my dog, which I really appreciated.. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. I felt like they treated my dog like a member of the family. Highly recommended.

I have asked around for recommendations for a new vet closer to my home and I kept hearing Burton Creek Vet over and over from my friends. Took my dog in for a skin irritation and a refill on some pills and Dr. Buckton was awesome! My dog is 13 and I've had a few vets because we've moved around, and I can say this place is 2 thumbs up and well priced. Nice staff, comfy waiting room, and Dr took his time examining my dog and answering my questions.
