High Tide Veterinary Services

Dr. Liz Lee knew from the age of four that she would be a veterinarian. She grew up with a menagerie of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, lizards, a rabbit, a guinea pig, and a turtle. Her parents were very supportive of her dream and she started volunteering at a veterinary hospital as soon as she could.

Dr. Lee attended UC Davis for her undergraduate degree, where she met her husband Ryan. There she also learned how to ride and train horses, how to work with and train dogs, sailed competitively on the sailing team, and spent as much time at the veterinary school as she could.

After graduation Dr. Lee spent a year working in equine pharmaceutical research. She and her husband and two dogs then moved to Edinburgh, Scotland where she completed her veterinary degree at the University of Edinburgh. There she also completed a research project looking at peripheral caries in horses (published in Equine Veterinary Education). After finishing her degree the family moved back to California where she completed an internship at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center.

Now Dr. Lee owns High Tide Veterinary Services, providing in-home euthanasia for pets in the Greater Lake Tahoe area. She holds a certificate in Western Veterinary Acupuncture and Chronic Pain Management (GPCert(WVA&CPM)), and a certificate in Peaceful Euthanasia (CPEV). Outside of work Dr. Lee enjoys skiing, mountain biking, sailing, hiking, and camping with her husband Ryan, and two cats Cosmo and Ray. She is also an active member of Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue, and SugarBowl National Ski Patrol.
