I don't even know where to begin. I found Bostic when I wanted to do a breeding of my Chow bitch, and due to an injury to my back, Richmond was too much of a drive for me to handle. So I started doing research and making calls. BVH did everything I needed to have done. *Everything*, from blood work, to AI to delivering the pups, and even giving me a heads up about the health of one puppy being dodgy. As it turned out, we lost him, but his brother is now a happy, healthy nine-month-old. In a piece of bad luck, and bad temper causing my hippopotamus mouth to overload my hummingbird behind, I managed to get us discharged from our former vet. I have never been happier about such an event in my life. I had been considering leaving that office for a number of reasons, the biggest being lack of available appointments, parking issues, and a distinct shift in the attitudes of the staff. I just hadn't had that 'time to pull the trigger on this one' event. I do not do change well. But, having it done for me... What I found at BVH was what I had known at the previous office. Caring people, concise care for my dogs, great follow-up, great parking, just... great. I had a chat with Dr. Szabo, asking her if we could change vets, explaining to her what had gone down. Of course. I was so nervous about it, and I shouldn't have been. I screwed up, and she was willing to give me another chance not to do it again. As I said, these folks are just wonderful, and are helping me get some skin issues under control without obsessing over something or pushing products and whatnot. Whatever they recommend, they do so with an explanation as to the reason for that specific product. We've been seeing them now for a little over a year, and I couldn't be happier. read more

My pup, Harley Quinn, has been a patient of Bostic for nearly two years now and I love this Vet. The front desk staff is always welcoming and makes sure you're checked in quickly and efficiently. The waiting room and examination rooms are very clean. Harley has seen Dr. Manning for almost every appointment. He is fantastic. He explains everything clearly, presents all options to you, and truly cares about his patients and their owners. We have always had fantastic interactions. Lastly, Bostic has fantastic hours. I find most vets close at 5pm, but Bostic understands that Pet Parents are busy and most employers won't let you go early for vet appointments. Bostic is open until 8pm on Monday's and Thursdays, which allows more flexibility in getting your pet in. I highly recommend Bostic for your fur babies! read more

We rescued a little 10 year old fur baby 9 years ago. A friend suggested Bostic to us about 4 years ago and we've had great bedside manner from the staff. Also, we started using their grooming services recently- which is not well advertised esp. with our little lady that could be difficult to bathe/groom. We had to let our little girl go to rest today. For an unfortunate Saturday morning realization, the staff was very accomodating, informative and gentle. I would like to extend my respect to the staff and management. Our little girl, with a long and loved life, is resting peacefully. read more

I was frantic with fear due to my fur baby Diamonds urgent medical emergency. I went to Bostic Veterinary Hospital and even tho I had no appointment...they work us in. The staff and Dr. Manning were incredibly awesome. Unfortunately my baby didn't make it but the entire staff felt my pain and were genuinely attentive through everything. I would recommend this facility to all pet lovers. read more

It's been difficult to find a vet hospital that has reproductive services. I am happy I found Bostic Vet Hosp. The vets and staff are very accommodating. They not only examine my dogs but they give extra information that can be useful in raising my pets and it's litter. I love how they give suggestions about how to properly care for my pregnant corgi. read more

I come home to a VBPD Animal Enforcement Notice that my dog bite someone and I was so confused because my Doodle is the sweetest 10 year old dog and don't recall a incident. Well, my dog was not properly sedated at Bostic Vet for her surgery and she was in pain and bite a tech in surgery. Dr Szabo informs me that she neglected to tell me because when she Administered the Sedative the needle popped off and fell to to the floor so she continued with the procedure and my dog was in pain and bite the tech. So she administers more sedative and was worried about over sedating Bella. I had no idea this happened !! Dr Szabo after surgery tells me it went well and had to give Bella more sedative but doesn't inform me of the incident. I'm beyond upset ! read more

DENTAL: One our pets had suffered some severe dental issues. The clinic handled him with love, and professionalism. His bad breath gone, teeth look amazing (3 teeth had to be removed) and the care received even after his surgery was amazing! My cat is back to his lovely ways, and We're soo thankful to Bostic for all their help! GROOMING: The front desk, and the groomer are absolutely amazing! Our two cats came back to us in good health, and properly groomed, I am amazed at how great they look, and how calm they were when we got them! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a new place for their fur babies! read more

It was like I was walking back into my Childhood on Friday when I brought my greyhound Chase to see Dr. Manning. My family was a Client of Dr. & Mrs Bostic in the beginning. The Moment we walked in it was welcoming and you could feel the Love. Dr. Manning was GREYT! and answered all of questions and concerns. I will be scheduling Chase a Dental Cleaning in the next few weeks. THANK YOU DR. MANNING & STAFF read more

My fur babies live this place. I traveled to Illinois during the summer and boarded my Frenchie for a week. I was able to call everyday to check on him. They made sure I felt comfortable leaving my baby with them. They do everything from vet services to boarding to grooming. It's a one stop shop! read more

Look elsewhere and save yourself a headache...or your dog an earache. $50.00 for an nails/ear cleaning (which is twice as much as Petco charges btw). Dog was only in the back for 5 minutes and his ears were still dirty. 3 days later his right ear swelled up with infection out of the blue. So then you charge me over 200.00 to treat the ear. The kicker was vet Nelson made excuse after excuse on how it couldn't possibly be from the "cleaning" and refused to even acknowledge it as a possibility. So bottom line...I just got fleeced...250.00 for an ear cleaning gone wrong. read more

Awesome Vet, and staff, both my puppies are comfortable going to the vet for checkups, Dr Manning is awesome, we have a Giant breed puppy, i had a lot of questions for him that I learned to ask to make sure the vet that seen Meatball was 100% experienced in a giant breed puppy, he was on point with everything, at meatballs 1st appt with Dr Manning at 8 weeks and 2 days old he was so comfortable during his exam and shots that he fell asleep, he did open one of eye when he heard the click of Dr Manning's pen. Dr Manning isn't pushy, he tells you what is necessary, asks a lot of questions about living environments, and suggests accordingly, very reasonable priced and truly cares for our babies. They are quick to respond it you email or call with a question, and appts are easy to schedule. only thing that still makes me nervous is the curb side service during Covid, we understand why it's necessary to keep patients, drs and staff safe, but it's so hard to hand over your baby to someone they don't see but 2 or 3 times a year when they are Healthy with no health issues that bring them in more often, for me it's like handing over my child who can't advocate for themselves and i'm not there. we are grateful Dr Manning is still open so i'm not complaining. I hope Bostic vet hospital stays around for a long time. Thank you Bostic for all you do for our Fur Babies. read more

We were traveling thru the area and one of our bulldogs did something to one of her rear legs. The bulldog vet website recommended Dr Bostic so we gave her a call. She immediately gave us an appointment and made us feel very comfortable. Dr Bostic and here entire staff treated us very well and gave great service to our girl. If we are ever back in the area, we'd definitely come back here. read more

MY EXPERIENCE WAS TERRIBLE They were terrible with vet service, they performed an exam (without consent), & customer service was poor. I even spoke to the owner of the practice & she was unwilling & not sorry for the actions taken by her partners. Would never take my pet there again. I have since left this practice read more

Kelly the receptionist was very accommodating and got my frenchie in same day. Dr Manning was amazing with her and took a great deal of time with her and us. read more

I have been in Virginia for about 4 years and in that time I have always taken my dogs to Bostic. I did a TON of looking around for a vets office that will be helpful, kind, caring, compassionate and professional. Not only that but show my animals the same love and level of genuine care as I do. There has always been up a kind of "desire"that shines through each member of the team. I feel confident to say that they are like family to us . I know there isn't anything they wouldn't do to make sure not only our animals but our families are taken care of too.The "family" feel is definitely the cherry on top. Every time I have called Bostic to simply ask a question or schedule an appointment they are thorough, timely and very happy to help in anyway possible. I have never found any other Vets office that can come close. Our family is just like any I have been in Virginia for about 4 years and in that time I have always taken my dogs to Bostic.

I have never found any other Vets office that can come close. Our family is just like any other simple, kind, hardworking and just want the same values we have within our family vet. It's all those things that keep us coming back. So when it comes to pricing for the quality of service they provide it is worth every penny. It would be nice to see specials a little more often more so on procedures that can sometimes turn into packages combining a package deal would benefit from time to time or maybe something for annual wellness visits that can combine all the test, procedures and vaccines could be beneficial as well. Just a thought now that isn't to say when something does come up and can become costly they don't offer anything would be a lie. I myself have been giving discounts, alternatives, and even a complimentary service which is greatly appreciated. I would give 5 stars however since I have not utilized all the services they provide I would not want to provide a review or rating that included any of that since I cannot speak personally on them. I do recommend Bostic and I will continue to go as long as they are open, up and running in someway shape or form or until something happens that relocates me out of the area. read more

You won't find a family vet like Bostic. I say "family" because you and your fur babes can count on being treated as part of theirs. Their passion and care for your babies overall well-being is TRUE and straight from the HEART. I've seen it so many times. You can count on that. Most people think that working in Vet medicine brings in a lot of income, and that's easily misread because of the sticker shock when you take your pet there. But Vet Medicine is VERY expensive to practice and those Vets have real tough jobs, their patients don't just tell them what's wrong, it took them a long time and nothing but pure compassion to figure out how to help them. Also, all those employees running around that vet hospital wearing scrubs, squeaky shoes, and smell like...well, we won't say, they are there for one reason. It's NOT money, they probably had some fancy job and made good money previously. But that's not what is truly important to these exceptionally brave and paw crazy, wet nose, slobber licking loving people. Next time you're in there, remember why they are there. They really do Care for your pets and try to support you the best they can, like FAMILY. That's priceless. That's Bostic Veterinary Hospital. read more

Bostic Veterinary Hospital - Me and my Teddy Bear - Veterinarians Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Lack of professionalism and nickle and dime you to death. I took my newly adopted dog here to treat an ear infection and catch him up on vaccinations to get him into obedience school. The first visit was almost $300 and we were instructed to return 30 days later. Upon arrival, the Doc said that the ear infection was not cured and we had to treat the ear with a different antibiotic (which is understandable that all antibiotics don't work all the time), this visit cost us $150. They again instructed us to return in 2 weeks and gave us 2 cards good for free exams. 2 weeks later we returned and were denied usage of the free exam cards. One of the vaccinations that were on the list also were not administered to my animal. Upon contacting the practice manager, she was more interested in telling me how I was at fault in the matter and how I was wrong, rather than listen to my concerns as a customer and how I feel like I had been neglected and taken advantage of. There are several other Vets in very close proximity to this Vet. DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE, THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. read more

Liked this place initially. Costs were similar to previous vet before move, thought it was normal. On two occasions, one for poison ivy and another for kennel cough, they couldn't see me for several days so I decided to care for them with home remedies since their concern wasn't as high as mine. The pushing of the products gets annoying after a few visits. What got me finally was that these cards for free pet exam per household they gave every visit(each over $150) were voided because I had used a Certificate through AKC for a free exam when registering my pups. Was told I don't qualify for they card promotions and that they supposedly didn't claim my certificates, which for a money hungry clinic I highly doubt. Still denied the use of any of the free exam cards even after the purchase of a third puppy, another patient for them! Because I'm a single client...smh. Found a much cheaper and way friendlier staff close by. Much happier and extra money to spoil them with! read more

I enjoyed the first time about a year ago where Dr. Manning took the time to talk to me about my concerns with my newly adopted dog. We've been in a couple of times recently with our dog still trying to get her allergies under control. They're a very nice practice and they listen as well as address all of your concerns. They talk to you about every option open to you, give their suggestions as well as pricing, and in the end you're aloud to make a decision that you feel most comfortable with. I've never felt pressured into anything going here and believe that they truly care about my dog. read more

As I read the other reviews, I wonder...always greeted well both on the phone as well as when I walk in the door BY NAME! You can tell what kind of service they give by the reaction of my dog, he is so excited to see each and everyone of them! Dr. Gail Szabo continues the excellent service that Dr. Bostic gave our family from back in the 60's, dogs, cats, ducks, and out at the farm horses and cattle. Those same qualities continue. Never have they been pushy about buying extra stuff, always found a way to work us in, even came out to my car when one of my Goldens was too weak to come in. How is that? She has been treating my Goldens since 2001 and I wonder once again where these negative comments come from! Dr. Gail Szabo and crew keep up the good work. I will take my dogs no where else! Thank you for your care. read more

My new cat needed his routine shots and I saw a coupon in the paper, so I made an appointment at the nearby Bostic Veterinary Hospital. Although there were no other animals/people in the waiting room we were kept waiting 30 minutes past our appointment time until we were called back! The office door was open and there were food wrappers on the desk; it appeared everyone was eating lunch while my time was wasted and more importantly my cat was meowing and whining in distress (he was really scared to be in the carrier and in the office). Worse, when she was trying to administer the shot she was using a towel to cover him. He was scared and squirmed and she somehow managed to smash his leg into the table and then drop him off the table! She also charged us double for the shot that she wasted when she did that! The vet also tried to convince me my cat was in DIRE need of having his teeth cleaned to the cost of a couple hundred dollars. When I took him to another nearby vet for his follow up shots (which went smoothly, 100% recommend THAT vet!) she said his teeth were absolutely fine. Overall, I was really displeased with everything about the Bostic Veterinary Hospital. read more

I took my dog Billy to Bostic two days after I rescued him. He was in good health. Two weeks ago my dog had the worst allergies. In the end he stopped eating. I took to Bostic and Dr. Manning first was so nice and second treated him perfectly. He gave him a steroid shot, antibiotics and told me to change his allergy meds. The very next morning I woke up with him scratching my arm, smiling and wagging his tail. Their prices are excellent. I will NEVER go anywhere else! read more

They are wonderful. We started using Bostic when we adopted our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in June. I had great referrals from friends and am so glad we choose them. Our 5 month old little girl somehow got a hold of something and was quickly declining. They took her in immediately and made sure Blue Pearl had the information they needed for immediate treatment. It turned out she had managed to get ahold of rat bait. You could not find more concerned and caring staff. Between Dr. Manning and Blue Pearl, our baby is now continuing her recovery at home. We can't thank them enough! read more

Came in this past summer, and won't go anywhere else now. They really take great care here - personable, professional, and been doing this a long time. Kinda reminds me of the small town country vet. They also have a kennel. Recently went on week long trip and returned to find they gave our dog Sam a complimentary bath. They really go the extra mile. read more

Knowledgeable, not only Dr. Szabo but the entire staff, kind not only to your animals but to you, she gives you the facts, the options, the recommendations and you never feel intimidated. Bostic Veterinary was my family's choice for 40 years and I personally have trusted her with my Golden Retrievers since 2001. She is never too busy to answer your questions and offer solutions when I am not in this area. She is my first and only choice for a vet! read more

Great staff and very friendly vets and knowledgeable ,
