Donner Truckee Veterinary Hospital handles everything from routine wellness exams to emergency care and specialized treatments, all in one facility. Located in Truckee in Nevada County, it’s designed to serve the needs of both dogs and their owners who live in or visit this mountain community.

The hospital’s Doggie Daycare is what sets it apart for many local dog owners. It’s open seven days a week, which makes it easier if your schedule varies or you want a place to leave your dog while you’re working or spending time on one of Truckee’s many trails and outdoor activities. The daycare isn’t just kennels—there’s actual play space where dogs socialize and get exercise throughout the day. Staff members keep an eye on individual dogs to make sure they’re comfortable, especially important if your dog is used to being home with you.

The veterinarians here have experience handling different temperaments and personalities, so if your dog gets anxious in new environments or is meeting other dogs for the first time, the staff knows how to manage that. They’ll work with you to understand your dog’s needs before you leave them for the day.

For people living in Truckee year-round or visiting seasonally, having both services under one roof saves time. You can get your dog’s vaccines updated, pick up medications, drop them off at daycare, and handle other routine care all in the same place. The staff understands what it’s like living in a mountain town where veterinary options might be limited, so they try to make scheduling work for busy dog owners.

Before your first daycare visit, ask about vaccination requirements and what your dog should bring. Different facilities have different policies, and knowing what to expect ahead of time makes the transition smoother for your dog.
