Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital

Dr. Vanderlinden has been my vet for for at least 15 years, and 5 dogs (had multiples for a long time). I cannot say enough wonderful things about this man, as a veterinarian and also as a human being. I even drove 8 hours once, to take my dog to see him, as I lived in another state and was not happy with any care that I could find. Dr. V helped us both out and there was a happy ending for my Boot!

Now with the new Vet on staff their prices have gone up. It used to be excellent service, especially with Dr. V, at good prices. Now it seems they are giving good service at prices that large vet practices with million dollar buildings charge. We have been going to this Vet for 15 years and I wanted to get my dog's teeth cleaned. Their "special" price was 20% higher than another vet's "special" price and the other vet included blood work. So I am discouraged. Read Less

I love Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital. I love Dr V and Dr. Wilson. They are both honest, caring vets. The staff is great also. I never have to wait for my apt. they are always on time. I highly recommend them Read Less

Dr. Arnold, is extremely knowledgeable. I had total confidence in her, for my dog's emergency surgery.. Also fantastic bedside manners, from staff. I am forever grateful, for my 7 year old, cocker spaniel's excellent recovery.. Pain meds, were not even needed.. Thank you, with my whole heart! 🙏💕 Read Less

I've been taking my furry kids (both dogs and cats) here for years. They are great! Most recently we had to bring our cat in...losing hair at his hind end and open wounds. Turned out he had a 104 fever and a huge abscess from infection all across his back section. I was presented a couple of options on how to handle it, and chose to do the surgery. I left him there overnight, they did surgery in the morning, and I picked him up in the afternoon. They're currently helping me with the wound/incision care at no extra expense which is SUCH a huge help! I have never doubted their knowledge or advice, and they are fair in their pricing. I highly recommend the folks at Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital!~ Read Less

I had a great experience at Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital. The staff was friendly and I was able to get a same day appointment. My pup ripped his dew claw. The vet was great! She came into the room with great energy and was able to clip the dew claw without any unnecessary sedation...She was also able to clip all of my dog's toenails (which has never happened!). I was in and out of the office in about 30 minutes. The service was very affordable as well. I will go back! Read Less

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR PET HERE.I had previously looked online to find a vet who was close to my house and had decent reviews. Unfortunately, I had only read a few good ones. I didn't do my homework before taking my baby to this clinic. What ensued was a terrible decision which caused extreme emotional distress and physical agony for both myself and my feline.She was scheduled to have a routine health checkup. The initial visit with the vet was not a pleasing one. He was rude and pompous from the very beginning. I had told him that I was looking for an easy way to clean her teeth. I stated that I do prefer the natural approach versus chemicals. I use coconut oil but wanted a professional opinion. He retorted with, "Yeah, and how's that working out for you?" in a very sarcastic tone. I stated not as great as hoped, that was the reason I was asking a doctor's opinion. Almost every time I made a comment or asked a question, he would meet me with a not very friendly statement. Of course, I am a novice  compared to someone with a degree in veterinary medicine. Making your patient's/pet parent's feel ignorant isn't an appealing trait for someone in this field.However, this is not my main complaint.She also needed her nails cut, ears cleaned, and glands in her nether region squeezed. The technician who took  her back returned her to me in about as little as 10 minutes.This seemed very quick for a 3 treatment routine. She left the room with high anxiety and returned even more shook up. The bill was around $200 for relatively small procedures that I believed would be around $100 or less. I wasn't in the mood to argue about it. My cat was clearly already in distress and the experience had been less than stellar. I wanted to leave.When she got home she was acting very strange. She was sluggish and immediately crawled into her bed. The next day is when I noticed the trouble starting. She was unable to walk straight, wobbling over, and her head was drooped to one side. I was extremely distraught and called the vet. I was told I'd receive a call back. I looked online and saw that some cats had experienced similar issues after having ear cleanings. I was hoping it was simply some water that had become lodged in her ear and would evaporate by the next day. I was wrong. It only because worse. She could not even stand up straight long enough to eat a few bites of food by the next day. She would fall over within seconds. I had to hold her and feed her like a baby. She wasn't responding to my voice when I spoke at a normal volume. Again, called the doctor and was told I'd receive a call back. By the third time I was more aggressive and let the secretary know that this was an emergency, and in the event I didn't get a call back, I would be pursuing legal action.I get a call back from the doctor 20 minutes later. He said that her symptoms were not too common and to bring her back in. I asked how they had cleaned her ears. He stated with ear irrigation. I asked whether a specialist did it or someone with no experience. I asked him whether it is usually simple ear irritation or permanent damage in these circumstances? He kept saying I needed to bring her in. I told him I didn't feel comfortable doing that after what already ensued.She still was not any better after 4 days. She was walking crookedly, couldn't eat without my help, and was of course unable to jump or play like her usual self.  I took her to another vet. She looked in her ear canals and said that she wasn't 100% sure, but it could be a very irritated eardrum or a completely busted one. When I told her they gave her irrigation without a sedative she was very surprised. She told me that this is used with dogs but rarely with cats due to their sensitive canal. I was given prednisone and anti-fungal medicine since she had mild fungus in her ear. She told me in event she wasn't improving in about 10 days I should take her in for a CT scan which is $2,000! A normally very healthy & active cat able to jump onto a 10 foot feline castle within 3 seconds was now unable to feed herself, barely walk, or jump. Every two feet she would fall over. This is my child. To have such a devastating experience happen to her was breaking my heart.I gave her the two and a half weeks of prednisone and saw some improvement. Still, two months later, she is not the same. It took an entire month for her to regain the ability to walk straight and feed herself. A month and a half to jump onto the couch. She still cannot jump to the height she did beforehand or run like she used to and gets dizzy and will fall over several times a day. I have been hoping that after a couple more weeks, I will see full improvement. In the case that doesn't happen, I will need to take her in for a $2,000 CT scan!All this because I took her to Cheyenne Tonopah to have her ears cleaned! I have thought about proceeding with legal action & am still considering it. Read Less

Good place to go to get your pets checked if ever needed. They have the friendliest staff and will answer any question you have concerns about. The prices are also very affordable compared to the other animal hospitals I've been at. Read Less

We have taken our family members to Dr. V and Dr. Wilson for over 20+ years. They are great diagnosticians and will give you options as well as involve you in all aspects of care. 4 animals grew to a ripe old age and 3 still going strong. Great caring staff. Read Less

On every occasion, from emergency to routine visits, the staff and Doctor have gone out of their way to offer exemplary service. No question was a stupid question. Our pets were treated with care and compassion, always in a timely manner. We are grateful Cheyenne Tonapah Animal Hospital is here! Read Less

When we moved to Las Vegas in 2014 a co-worker recommended this veterinarian and we had a good experience each time. Often times the staff was short in the office and rude over the phone, making us feel we wanted to switch at times. Also, we were not called back after inquiring about a procedure our pet had there. Another time we were offered a medicine to be given in the office and I said yes, come to find out it cost more than 3 doses I could easily give at home. That was not upfront and we did not appreciate the extra charges. I always felt my dog was being safely treated though and that is important. Read Less

After much research I was referred here to have one of my pets put down. For $100 they allowed me to be in the room with her as she was going to sleep. Everything was lovingly explained and the genuine love and concern was evident in the faces of the staff. They work with a local crematorium who will humanely spread her ashes over the pet cemetery. Some vets charged twice as much, others less but without the humanity of a somewhat decent "goodbye". It was my first time having to put a member of our family to sleep. That being said, it was as kind as it could be. I have other pets and this will be my new vetRead Less

The ABSOLUTE worst  Vet I've ever been too. Everytime we have anything done to our 2 dogs they overcharge us. Today for example (final straw BTW) 2 teeth cleanings with the $189 feb special. No extractions....... $686!!!! Yes im not kidding. They charged $18 for the 2 strips of tape that held the IV in.Do NOT go here!!!! Read Less

Dr V and Dr Wilson are great. They explain everything and treat my dog well. The staff is friendly and patient with pet owners. Best part is I don't feel every time I walk in I am being sold something that isn't needed at that moment. Plus I volunteer with AH4S and they do a lot for the rescue. Thank you for everything. Read Less

Absolutely the best Vegas has! Bumpy LOVES Dr V & (Im sorry I do not know his name) his "babysitter" (vet tech that watches him when we're out of town) will go NO WHERE else! Our dog is a trained guard dog, can be aggressive & Dr V & staff have NEVER had any problems from him; we love Cheyenne Tonopah & are lucky we found them! Read Less

I chose this vet's office b/c it received great Yelp reviews and it was close to my house (plus had a decent costing office visit fee).My 14-year old dog was having dental pain. Dr. James spent about 10 minutes in total examining my dog's mouth and filling out the form for the dental surgery estimate.  He was in and out so quickly that it made my head spin.When I expressed my concern about the cost (I'm on a limited income) and asked if there was something I could do to get by without surgery the doctor said that it wouldn't fix the problem. I said that I might to have to put him down if I couldn't afford it and the doctor said "that's a choice you'll have to make". He escorted me to the front desk and left.  All of that in approx 10 minutes flat.The estimate was more than I could afford so I asked the front desk person if there was something that I could do to make my dog more comfortable.  She checked with the doctor and he prescribed an antibiotic and pain meds (which is what I wanted from him in the first place). I know it doesn't cure my sweet doggy but I want him to be comfortable for now.My main complaint with Dr. James was his lack of concern and lack of compassion and the short amount of time he spent with me and my dog. I move around a lot and have a lot of pets so I have met many doctors so I can make an easy comparison. I was not impressed.In spite of this lousy review that I'm giving them... I'll go back because enough people thought this was a great place. Maybe it was an off day for the doctor. I'll try the other doctor the next time.  I'll update my review next time I have an experience with them. I hoping for a better encounter in the future. Read Less

Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital is the only place I trust with my three four legged children! They are wonderful with them as well as with myself and my husband when we are nervous parents. They really get how important our pets are to us and always treat us with the utmost respect. They are also very affordable . Read Less

Quick, friendly, and knowledgeable service. Besides checkup and vaccinations, we've had Cheyenne Tonopah Animal Hospital treat our dogs for a few serious maladies. The advice and treatment has always been correct. They have earned our trust. Read Less

On the referral of a friend, we brought our Pug in to see Dr. Wilson for a second opinion. We had had her treated at another facility about three weeks prior, but were not confident in the treatment plan given to her and she was not getting better.  Immediately upon being greeted by Dr. Wilson, I felt completely at ease. He instantly recognized several of our Pug's issues and asked the appropriate questions that were never asked before. Based on my research prior to meeting Dr. Wilson, I knew what kind of a treatment plan I was looking for for her. Dr. Wilson immediately offered up almost the exact treatment plan that I was expecting. He was kind, gentle, and very communicative. I felt that the prices were very fair based on the care we received. Thankfully, our Pug is going to be fine and we will now be making Dr. Wilson our permanent vet for our Pug and our Shih Tzu.

They show love and caring I had to let my Rocco go home to be with our Lord on this day September 19, 2016. By far one of my hardest hits Cheyenne Tonopah animal hospital was Rocco's vet and they laid him to rest. They showed caring and dedication. They comfort the ones and I know they took Rocco out of his pain and suffering. It was very hard and difficult for this day to come but Rocco had a loving vet that cared. Thank You to the Vet and Staff that cared for Rocco. He is now running free and out of pain and this is what I will carry with me. May God continue to bless all of your lives....Toni Nicholson missing and always will love my Rocco Read Less

I went to a vet before here and they wanted me to put my dog to sleep because she had a mass in her uterus. I had to get a second opinion and DR. V save my dog she's alive and well! I didn't have to consider putting her down! Dr. V knows what he's doing and isn't afraid to do anything! Read Less

I am so impressed with this vet!!!! Amazingly great. Customer service was fabulous, got my cats in fast too. The vet answered all my many questions very calmly and gave me all the information I needed. Fantastic experience!! I highly recommend them!!! Read Less

I've always had animals and have lived in various locations spread across the Southwest US. I have never been so pleased with my Veterinarians. Luv Both Dr. V and Dr. Wilson. My little guy has been there often and has needed good care. These 2 doctors have taken great care of him and always made time for us, so accommodating to my two baby doggies on immediate terms. Being that I am now moving out of state, we will miss them so much. My dogs know no other vets, so they will definitely miss their doctors. The staff has always been so good & understanding of us and our situations. Thank you all for your service and care you have given to my doggies and me.Read Less

CTAH was recommended to me and I am always leary of recommendations but this time I was extremely happy with Dr. Wilson and he made me feel like he cares about Maggie's health as much as I do. Wouldn't go anywhere else. I KNOW THEY CARE. Read Less

I have dealt w/ some vetinarian's that are very questionable ? When my new neighbor next door reccomemded that I come here. I have never felt more comfortable coming here and dealing w/ staff and Dr. Wilson when it comes to my Fur babies, I totally trust them after going thru a few bad apples. Read Less

It's a very long story.. I got my beagle fixed they stitched her with wires instead of the dissolvable ones. It was the two days before Christmas and I took her in twice because I knew her cut was infected and saw two different doctors they told me that she was fine to put Neosporin (first doctor) then peroxide (second doctor).. After we left I knew my baby was in pain the next morning and Cheyenne tonopah was closed so I took her to the animal hospital on Craig and Decatur they said she was definitely infected and if I would have waited another day she would have died. Oh and Cheyenne tomopah did not give me any antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication that I got at Craig and Decatur. Oh and Cheyenne tomopah thanks for telling me to put peroxide on my dog because you told me it would help heal her cut it was actually burning my dogs skin! I will forever hate is place for putting my dog threw so much pain!! Oh and I have pictures of beginning to end!Read Less
