A Brief History

A trip from Keystone Avenue to Summit Ridge Drive is a five minute drive.  But for Community Animal Hospital, this journey took 27 years.  For CAH, this was not just a two mile ride; this was an evolutionary journey.

CAH was born quietly in a small house on Keystone Avenue in 1975.  Dr. Koehm became an owner in 1978 and he had a vision.  A vision of a practice that would utilize the most advanced technology, knowledge, and skills provided by a team of dedicated doctors and technicians.  This team would treat all patients as members of the family.  Each doctor would concentrate on a specific area of expertise and become the best in that field.  This practice would be different than any other in northern Nevada.  While using innovative technology and sophisticated equipment, CAH would preserve the personal touch with our clients and retain that “down home” familiarity of Keystone Avenue. 

These two practices were only two miles distant, but in reality they were a world apart.   

In January of 2005 we arrived geographically and philosophically at Summit Ridge Drive.  Our dreams have come true.  But our journey will never be done.  We will always strive to improve our service for our clients and their special family members.
