Dr. Arlyn Cuthbertson moved to Elko in 1953 soon after graduating from veterinary school at University of California Davis. He was eager to build a practice centered around livestock. At that time the practice was about 80% large animal and only 20% serving cats and dogs and other various species. To reach livestock and equine cases on ranches, he took flight lessons from Ralph Scott at El Aero and bought a "tail dragger" plane that could easily land in fields and on dirt roads.For about 30 years, Dr. Cuthbertson flew to remote areas, becoming grounded in 1986 after he was injured in a plane crash.
Elko Veterinary Clinic is an aggressive mixed animal practice specializing in both small and large animal medicine and surgery. The facility is completely computerized with digital radiography, endoscopy, ultrasound, ECG, large and small dentistry a complete In-house laboratory, and companion Laser Therapy.
When we think about our pets' health all too often we forget about a vital part of their wellbeing - their dental care. As a species that are routinely taught to brush our own teeth twice a day, we really ought to make more effort to ensure that our animals' teeth are as healthy as our own. Infected gums and tooth pain can result in a reduced appetite and significant weight loss. One of the primary causes of these problems is gum disease which sees bacteria-harbouring plaque and tartar accumulating on your pets' teeth.
We also try to provide urgent care for our clients. However, if you feel your pet needs to be seen before you are able to schedule an appointment, our veterinarians will try to work you into the schedule. You will be asked to come in at a certain time and then we will work to get your pet seen as soon as possible in between our regularly scheduled appointments.

This vet is the worst I've ever been to last night I was having an emergency with my horse and couldn't get ahold of anyone until 2 hours later thier emergency line is a dumb app that you can't get ahold of anyone, I finally got ahold of someone and took him in and the vets had no sympathy telling me I was gonna loose my horse, they made excuses of "you weren't the only one with an emergency" yet in these pictures it shows they had different excuses!

Our fur baby wad attacked by his siblings and needed emergency surgery. The Elko Veterinary Clinic had a doctor wait for us to get there (we live 3 hours away in a rural town) and performed emergency surgery on our little 15 year old cocker spaniel and saved his life. We were kept up to date the whole time and treated with such kindness and respect during a very difficult situation.

Unfortunately they up charge all services. You won't get out of there without paying at least one to two hundred minimum. They always overbook themselves so be prepared to wait an extra hour or even longer and are never on time. They have treated my dog multiple times for the same issue however has not helped and charge $60 a visit regardless of follow up.
All you have to do is look at their responses to other negative reviews to see they are defensive. They do not accept constructive feedback and do not plan to change anything about their practice to improve what others have suggested. I recommend Aspen Vet instead.

Elko Veterinary Clinic has been nothing short of wonderful in taking care of our cat, Doc. They were upfront and honest about cost and treatment and have answered my phone calls asking for updates and not once seem annoyed or bothered. We were not clients previously and they still took Doc in on an emergency. The Vet treating Doc was understanding and kind when I was a mess about things and really upset. The staff has been fantastic and we will now be permanently switching vet care to their facility.

This office is straight up trash. Want to drop your dog off for boarding? Be prepared to wait an hour. Want to pick them up? Be prepared to wait a literal hour. On time for your appointment? Be prepared to WAIT. The vets seem ok, Dr. Warner is extremely lacking in communication and is pretty condescending. Who knows if they are even decent at what they do- we see a different doctor almost every time.
This last boarding visit will be my last business with Elko Vet- dropped off my perfectly unharmed dog only to be called the next day saying he needs sutures and they "don't know what happened" and tried to insinuate we let our family pet get in dog fights. Complete lack of professionalism.

Outstanding and exemplary care for our Scottish Terrier when we left her for boarding. Kiawnni was amazing and so attentive to our pet's needs and emotions during her boarding experience. The entire team is fabulous, knowledgeable and professional down to the smallest detail. Dr. Cuthbertson overcame our terrier's anxiety right away when she was there for her first visit and she was very relaxed and agreeable with him. Thank you, thank you! Can't say enough good things about this veterinary practice.

As a first time puppy owner I was very nervous with my lack of knowledge about what is a standard vet visit. The staff was very patient and friendly, they helped easy my anxiety and talked me through everything. They kindly directed me and showed only respect as I navigated the office. My puppy was nervous but not scared and everyone helped to keep him at ease. Overall, I was pleased with my experience. I'm grateful for competent staff in a workplace where many can feel very vulnerable.

I needed to get back to California for some important business, I was told by locals that Elko veterinary clinic was the place to go to board and figure out what my dog needs as far as medications. I was told he had a infection in his inner ear or something like that anyway they have taken care of him for the last few days, when I check in on him they give me updates tell me how he is and it seems he is doing well. Thank you very much Elko veterinary clinic you guys rock. And thank you for taking good care of my buster.

We love this place. We just moved and needed a new vet for our two fur kids. Dr Warner is awesome. He takes time to see the dogs and talk to us. He is thorough and explain options. The staff is friendly and helpful. The waiting area is large and sectioned for fur kids to have separation. Love that they are open on the weekend too! They worked with us when we were away to get meds we forgot at home for our anxious dog to travel. Lifesaver!

While traveling through Elko, we wound up making an emergency stop here for our Cavalier. They were able to work him into their busy schedule, and we were very pleased with the care he received. Dr. Perchetti was thorough, explained everything well, and helped us feel confident we could get back home without further incident.

From the time we walked in to the time we got to take our 13 year old girl home we felt nothing but support an love, an that carried on to our follow up visit with our poor girl going though the amount of stress that she did she still wagged her tail when she saw her vet thank you so much!!

These people saved my butt. On the road with a sick dog. On a Saturday. The vets in Winnemucca were useless. Of the two, one had a recording, the other's "emergency" person was "off for the weekend." My dog was sick and needed fluids, which a vet in Portland, OR had administered two days earlier and which had really helped. They found a way to take me in, reassure me they would get my dog some fluids (thanks, Tiffany!) after talking with the tech.
I saw a vet, who was kind and compassionate. They examined him and gave me - critically - a bag of fluids to take with me for my return home until I could get in to see my local vet. They didn't have to do any of this, but they went out of their way to help someone who was on the road. It's bad enough for a person to be sick on the road, but to have a sick pet a long way from home can really be horrifying. They made me feel as though I was at home. I was so grateful to have found this place in Elko.

I cannot say enough about this veterinary clinic in Elko Nevada. D.V.M. Mike Perchettie has saved 3 of my dogs that were seriously ill. D.V.M Allen Cuthberson is an equally skilled veteran. The staff is skilled and helpfull. The facility is clean and well lit. They were able to diagnose and address medical issues with my dog that other vets failed to do.
When it comes to saving your pets life, they will do an excellent job. I called them about a lost dog that was in a distressed condition they were able to reunite the dog with it's owner. This is a family founded bussisness Allen Cuthberson is a second generation vet who has had lifelong experiance and dedication to animal health. This facility has been a asset to the rual area of Northern Nevada for over 50 years.
If you have animals that are precious to you, and are living or visiting northern Nevada do your animals a favor have their number on your phone if you have an emergency you will be glad you did.

I have to go back two more times in the next 3 weeks, but I have to say that this place is awesome! They are in the perfect price range and don't do ANYTHING without your approval. They were able to get me in the same day I called and I got to see Dr. Richardson. He made me feel so at ease and I felt like my concerns really had validation. He did a completely check up on her and was so gentle with her. He really took the time to talk to me and explain why he wanted to do what he wanted to do. He (and his vet tech!) made both me and my dog feel much better!
