Hosket Veterinary Service DVM

All of my family animals have always been taken care of at Dr. Hosket. He is a great veterinarian and person.
He goes out of his way always to make sure your pets are taking care of. He also takes care of all animals, not just house pets. There has been a handful of times where him being available through the phone in after hours that has helped my family out a lot. He is always available to you if something is wrong with your pet.
My favorite thing about Dr. Hosket is that he doesn’t make you come in and waste your money if it is not necessary. He usually just tells you what to do over the phone to take care of it, and follows up if need be.
My chihuahua Coco, who is nine years old hurt himself trying to get over a baby gate the other day. His ear that was normally pointy was flopped over and swollen. I ended up having to take him in a week later and get the fluid drained. He had to have stitches in his ear. We dropped him off at eight AM and picked him up at 4 AM, which his ear stitched, nails clipped and his shots updated. For everything Coco had to have done it wasn’t as expensive as I had feared. Dr. Hosket didn’t even charge us for clipping his nails. I have to take Coco back next week to get his stitches removed, but right now he is doing fine and on antibiotics.
I would and have suggested Dr. Hosket to everyone who has pets in the Dayton and Cincinnati area. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets.

We’ve been taking our dog here for a year. I have absolutely no complaints. We’ve gotten vaccines, neutering, and flea medications here. I greatly appreciate the speediness in which I’ve been able to get in and out. Personally, I’m not looking for a vet to be super-​duper amicable while financially fleecing me (an experience I’ve had in other cities). The main doc is direct, quick, no frills, and the prices feel absolutely reasonable to me.

I love taking my animals to Doc Hosket. He practices standard and homeopathic medicine. He is very quiet at first, I think shy, but start talking about your babies and asking questions, etc., and you realize he is actually a pretty kind and compassionate person under the gruff exterior. He is also very no-​nonscence and doesn’t order a bunch of unnecessary wellness exams like my old vet used to do, who wanted to start seeing my cats every 6 months just for the heck of it — they are healthy, by the way. Or the time the old vet wanted to amputate a whole leg from a rescue cat (she got adopted and my husband ended up building an insulated, heated outdoor cat house with a double paned porthole window and porch, lol), who got frost bite and lost her paw; it turned out it had already healed over perfectly without infection. When I asked my new vet, Doc Hosket about my experience with the old vet, he said «NO!, that leg protects the chest cavity and provides balance — as long as it healed well — why in the HECK would you amputate just to amputate!» — Oh, right, my old vet just wanted more money… Anyway, get Doc Hosket in a conversation, he will tell you why he does what he does, if you ask. He’s just not a naturally chatty person. The reason I gave a 4 star is because he doesn’t have an X-​ray machine on hand, and you have to go use another vet’s and get the results back to him.

Hmmm… That’s a real tough one to review.
My mother in law treats her cat here for a while.
The results on the cats skin condition are not very satisfying. It gets better and then worst.
I am not a vet so I can’t judge anyone.
I’ve been there twice, on my first time, I brought the cat over and I was NOT impressed by the vets attitude and neither the secretary’s.
They just extremely quite & too mellow, no smiles, no chit chat.
I’m not saying that their bad people, just seemed a little dry or off, may be they are just shy.
On another occasion I was actually surprised for the best when I had to get some anti flea Advantage cream for my ferret and cat.
I stopped by an hour after the closing time, the vet was actually still there. He opened the door for me and let me buy what I came for.
That was really cool of him!
I also heard that this vet treats all kind of field animals like horses & cows.
Very impressive!
In this phase he could start treating the people in wal-​mart!
Yalla Bye.
