Build your holistic medicine dream practice — with mountain views and modern tools.

 At Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital, you’ll find the rare combination of cutting-edge medicine, natural beauty, and the freedom to build a deeply fulfilling career. Just 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe, our 15,000 sq. ft. AAHA-accredited hospital is flooded with natural light and filled with smart, collaborative people who love what they do.
