Burton Creek Veterinary Clinic is the vet inside Tahoe City itself, at 2933 Lake Forest Road, two and a half miles northeast of downtown on the road toward the campground. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. During those hours the clinic takes emergencies; its emergency page asks that clients call first — (530) 583-8587 — so staff can prepare before the dog arrives.
Nights, weekends, and holidays are a different geography. The clinic’s published after-hours referrals are both in Reno: Animal Emergency and Specialty Center at 6425 S. Virginia Street, (775) 851-3600, which states it is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and BluePearl Pet Hospital at 555 Morrill Avenue, (775) 358-8555. The drive from Tahoe City runs about an hour in clear conditions.
The closest published alternative on a Saturday is Donner Truckee Veterinary Hospital on Highway 267, which lists emergency appointments Monday through Saturday, 8:00am to 5:30pm.
