About Our Business:
CritterCare Mobile Veterinary Clinic started in 1999 after first looking for
a location in Truckee, CA for a property for an animal hospital. At the time the
only location the newly incorporated town permitted for veterinary facilities was
the ground beneath railroad tracks running through the town. Motivated at
starting a service that would offer routine small animal medical care and
experienced veterinary emergency care for pet owners within the greater Tahoe
Basin Area, we designed and purchased a 26' long clinic designed specifically for
veterinary usage.
CritterCare's unique mobile facility came equipped with the ability to x-ray
patients, safely anesthetize animal's to repair lacerations, remove porcupine
quills, and perform more extensive surgical procedures, such as: spaying and
neutering or exploratory surgeries.

Fremont and Tracy west to Castro Valley, Dr. Hartzell treated emergencies
ranging from poisoning cases to extreme trauma 'hit-by-car' injuries.
After years of experience at the emergency clinic Dr. Hartzell's primary
veterinary interests are in diagnosing complicated internal veterinary
medicine cases. His expertise includes the ability to convey difficult medical
issues to pet owners thereby allowing them to make informed decisions about
the care of their animals. His guidance to his clients ensures they make their
decisions based on knowledge and understanding that best fits their needs.

assistance. In 1999 they moved to the Truckee area and later that same year
their business CritterCare Mobile Veterinary Clinic was launched.
