Avalanche Natural Health Office

Unreliable!!! We needed a place to board our dog for two nights. I should have been suspicious about this place when I was asked to make an appointment time to drop off our pet. I was told the vet may be making housecalls so the appointment was necessary.
We set the appt for 4PM on a Thursday afternoon and arrived 15 minutes early. We waited, and waited, and waited until .4:30. There was no sign of life anywhere around the building. We also called twice during the wait, leaving messages on the answering system.
Fortunately, we were able to board our dog at Tahoe Tails and Trails which turned out to be expensive but a great place. And oh yes, we never heard from Avalanche… no apology… nothing!

We found them on the web. Since we were vacationing in a non pet friendly hotel, we made reservations to take our two dogs and our parrot there for a few days. This place is rundown and filthy. We walked the dogs to the back room and were overcome by the smell of urine and feces. There was no ventilation. The dogs were put into a metal cage with concrete floor. We were told the bird would be in a quiet room. We were apprehensive about leaving them but needed a place to keep them. We sadly headed to our hotel. I quickly googled for another place and
found another. The next day we went first thing to perform «operation pet rescue». We found them in a small back room in a cage standing in their
own poop. The dogs smelled so bad we decided to get them bathed.
The bird was on the floor in a room that stank like ammonia from the
dogs room.
This place should be shut down. Do not board your animals here.
We found a wonderful doggy camp in Stateline. The dogs were allowed to roam freely with the other dogs at the camp. Plenty of fresh air in the facility and you could tell the owner loves animals. Try «Tails and Trails» doggy camp. I was able to relax on vacation knowing the pets were
being well cared for.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Kostecki — He saved my dog’s life. All the other vetrinarians could not tell me what was wrong with my dog. I spend literally thousands of dollars with other vets, and they send me home with a sick dog and a bill. My dog was terribly sick for his whole life until the day I brought him to see Dr. K., who took one look at him, and immediately diagnosed him correctly, at which point my dog was finally on the road to recovery. He surely would have died without Dr. K’s holistic intervention.

We will complete this review after our stay, but so far I must say this place has great customer service, with friendly helpful people. Great rates!
