Bishop Veterinary Hospital is a 24/7 full-service facility in Bishop, making it the main veterinary resource for anyone living in or traveling through the Owens Valley. The hospital handles everything from routine checkups and vaccinations to emergency surgery, which matters a lot when you’re in a remote area hours from larger cities.

The staff here knows how to work with dogs of all temperaments. They’ve got spacious waiting areas so your dog isn’t crammed into a tiny corner while you check in, and the team takes time to talk you through what’s happening with your dog rather than just rushing through appointments. If your dog needs to stay overnight for surgery or monitoring, they offer boarding services right there at the facility, which eliminates the stress of dropping your dog at a separate place.

Emergency care is available around the clock, which is genuinely valuable if you’re hiking in the high country around Bishop or spending time in the Sierra. Dogs can get into trouble at odd hours—eating something they shouldn’t, getting injured on a trail—and knowing there’s a vet who’ll see you at 2 a.m. takes some of the worry out of being remote. The team handles orthopedic issues, soft tissue surgery, and other procedures you’d normally only find in larger cities.

The hospital sits on the eastern slope of the Sierra, so you’re looking at a facility that understands the unique needs of dogs in this region—altitude considerations, the prevalence of certain parasites, injuries from rugged terrain. Staff members have experience with everything from working ranch dogs to traveling companions who’ve come through with their owners.

If you’re based in Inyo County or spending extended time in the Eastern Sierra, having a full-service 24/7 hospital in Bishop means you can make your hiking and camping plans without worrying about finding emergency care if something goes wrong.
