The DOSES have worn out a few generations of our dogs and cats in the 30 years we have been seeing them! You will get no nonsense reasonably priced vet care of the highest quality here! And yes just like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld it is completely on Sharon's and Tom's terms! If you are a whining liberal snowflake transplant from Brownsville there could be problems! Toms back is not what it use to be so no big dogs,just cats and small dogs besides the usual bunch of small critters. If you are bringing a pet in for the first time, bring the records! No exceptions soup Nazi again! You simply cannot find a better vet place in town,if you like bluegrass go see Tom when he is playing off hours! read more

Quite simply the best vets in Reno. No front office staff, no ever changing billing assistants. It's just the Doctors Dose. Their place is no frills except where it matters. They actually /care/ about your pet. Great prices, great service, great people. I'll not go anywhere else. read more

I love this vet. Yes, they do have a unique business model that is different than the larger vets, but they truly care and will spend time explaining details on your pets healthcare and needs. Plus they are affordable - why so affordable? Because they have low overhead (small office just the two vets); so there's the trade off. I highly recommend Doses for your small animals. read more

Would give zero stars if possible. I was new to Reno a year ago and my dog had an urgent issue. I won't go into tons of detail but I'll agree with what numerous other reviewers have said: that Dr Sharon Dose is arrogant, condescending and extremely rude. We never had an appt with her husband but from seeing him in the clinic that day, he appeared to be very nice. If you're new to Reno OR if you're looking for a new friendly, competent and reasonable vet in the area(ish), I can whole-heartedly recommend Kings Row Veterinary Clinic (see my review). I generally dislike leaving bad reviews but in this case it's warranted, and about ten months overdue. read more

I love the Dose's- although their hours are weird, they care about your pets and their prices are great. They have done several surgeries on my pups. My Daisy was given three months to live by another popular vet in time. I had Dr Dose do another surgery removal no as much of the tumor as they could. Well my Daisy is still here with lots of energy and it's been almost 2 years. read more

I've had people who like this place complain about my prior 1 star review not understanding why I rated so low for having to leave a vm. I've upgraded to more neutral review...as agree a little harsh since I haven't done biz with. HOWEVER, want to state my frustration wasn't because I had to call or just leave 1 message. This place is VERY difficult to reach (limited hours) and doesn't call back. Really poor customer service. I just don't recommend for anyone who's looking for a 'new' vet or desires MINIMUM responsiveness in one. This isn't the place....might be decent vets though. Don't know... read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE......... the "female" dose is off the rude charts...... if you are not perfect with animals she has no use for you...... and also agree with last post if you have no spots (even for known patients) have a backup for us...... now as long as you are on their good side and agree with everything they instruct then you are golden....... miss one appointment for a family emergency and they "lost" or "can't find" your file so you must have been purged from their system, they say, more like at their whim..... they will give you a story about how it's your fault and take zero responsibility ...... go elsewhere in Reno..... you will thank yourself later!!!!! read more

Dr. Doses is for cat's & dog's under 30LBS. Thank you for great service & quick! The best vet in Reno NV. I love how quick, caring & professional. Check them out!!! read more

Had great experiences with Dr. Dose prior to my last experience. Took my cat into Dr. Dose with an infected eye. Soon after she looked my cat over she proceeded to use the disinfectant spray used to clean the counter on her infected eye. My cat was very uncomfortable for hours after, her eye even more inflamed when I asked if this was safe for an animals eyes she said yes. Last I checked counter disinfectant spray in an animals eyes is not a good idea. read more

Great no nonsense caring vets! Take my Maltese and Bichon to them They do their appointments one day ahead, love that! read more

Sharon Dose is the best, most knowledgeable veterinarian I've ever encountered anywhere. My dogs have been to multiple specialists in both San Francisco and Reno for various reasons, and Sharon Dose is always the one who diagnoses the problem. Always. She is down to earth, straightforward, and a natural, intuitive diagnostician. The Drs. Dose are simply amazing. read more

I have taken my dogs to the Doses' for the past 9 years and just love them.No other vet has ever been so thorough and spent so much time with me and my dogs. Isn't it truly about providing the best care that counts for our furred children? I read some of the other reviews and just had to laugh. These are just no-frills dedicated Vets and a very unique couple, who work endless amounts of hours and provide top-notch professional care. Just because they are not open for people to walk through their doors all day long, does not mean they are not working. They are very affordable and humble. I drive 45 minutes just to have my dogs seen by them because I trust only them with my babies. I thank God for the person who told me about them when I came to this area. read more

I would give them 100 stars if I could. During a routine checkup with my, at the time, 3 year old kitty Penny, a previous vet found a very bad heart murmur. On a scale of 1-6 (6 the worst), Penny was at a 5 1/2 and the vet told me there was nothing we could do, and that Penny would not live long. I refused to accept this as I love her very much, and found Dr. Dose, who my family used to take pets to when I was a child, for a second opinion. Tom kept Penny for an entire day, doing x-rays, blood work, and a full check up to see her complete condition (this was very affordable, I must say only a couple hundred dollars even though she was there from 7 am- 5pm). When we met, Dr. Dose very thoroughly explained to me the murmur, showing me all the work they had done and where the backflow was, and what this meant for Penny. Her heart was deformed, and her little kitty heart was racing at an average resting rate of about 240 BMP (a healthy rate is 120-180ish). Dr. Dose said that we could give her a common beta blocker and monitor her heart rate, and after only about a month of me administering the medication and checking her heart rate at home, her rate had dropped to a steady 120-140. It has been five years, and Penny's murmur is completely gone, her heart has regrown, and Penny is a heart healthy kitty. Penny has had other issues -- she has bad skin allergies that caused her horrible constipation and vomiting that Tom was able to diagnose when I casually mentioned how much she loves to be brushed, which alerted him to the fact that she's itchy, and it caused her colon (which is made of -- tada! skin!) to swell and make her constipated. She occasionally gets medicine for allergies if she has a break out. Nice, easy fix. They are serious. They love animals--both Tom and Sharon. They know what they are doing and they truly want to take care of little fur babies AND their patients. I regularly get light headed and dizzy when talking about medical stuff and Dr. Dose knows the signs when I'm about to faint and takes me on walks outside and makes me laugh to get my heart rate back up. I don't know what I'd do without Dr. Dose to look after Penny and our other cats and be there any time I have a question, they are just a phone call away and always so glad to help me. They are straightforward and honest and people may see that as rude but they are truly wonderful vets! I would not recommend ANYONE else. read more

The best vets I've ever been to! Reasonable, in fact almost cheap! Very very knowledgeable. Lots of stories and and a very great team! Use them! read more

I have been taking my dogs to the Doses for years. They have expertly taken care of all their needs. Sharon speaks her mind, so if you have a fat dog and think it is a good thing she is not the vet for you. Tom is very laid back but will also let you know if you are not doing right by your pet. So if you want unbiased pet vets who are totally committed to the care of small animals Dose's Pet Vets is a great place for you. read more

I've gone to the Doses for 20 years! I have never had a bad experience. They made me feel less like a patient and more like family. My experiences with them range from normal check-ups and vaccinations to serious illnesses and surgeries. When Sharon had to put my 18 year old dog to sleep, she made the experience as painless physically and emotionally as possible for me and my dog. read more

I wasn't crazy about Dr. Tom Dose and my experience with him. When I asked him a simple question related to the risks involved in performing a urocentesis (extracting urine directly from the bladder via syringe) on my elderly cat, Dr. Dose became extremely douchebaggish, as if asking a question somehow undermined his experience as a doctor. I strongly question how confident Dr. Dose is regarding his own competence and abilities if a simple query is enough to throw him over the edge. What if he actually has to deal with a serious emergency? Will he panic like a teenage girl in slasher flick? Also, he looked exactly like that robot cab driver from Total Recall, which kind of creeped me out. read more

I had to change my vet a while back because she closed down her practice and I was recommended to try out Dr. Dose's Pet Vets. Before I went their I was told that they were a no frill's vet office that that only took in animals under 30 Pounds (because Dr. Tom had a back surgery that makes him unable to lift larger animals). They don't have any staff asides from themselves, so they will periodically answer phones, and acknowledge other customers while you are waiting or have your dog/cat being examined. Because of this they are able to offer extremely affordable veterinary care for your animals. No upsells, designer food shelves, fancy clothes, or other garbage your pet doesn't need. Just a simple office with two patient rooms, and a small waiting area. Their scheduling system is great. You simply call the day before (or day of if its an emergency), and they will schedule you the next day. This works great for me, as I have always had prompt service in addressing my animals needs, and haven't been asked to come in a week later for something. Experience, knowledge, and expertise are the most important thing to me with my vet. The Doses have been able to provide that, and make caring for my animals more affordable as well. I will admit Dr. Tom and Dr. Sharon definitely have different personalities and I could see how some people might choose one of them that they prefer. Both doctors have given me excellent information and have communicated with me very well about any care my animals have needed. On one occasion I heard Dr. Sharon being very curt to a client about taking care of their dogs health as they just had to remove 15.... Yes 15! teeth because of neglecting the dogs dental hygiene. But in the given situation I couldn't image any doctor being extremely bubbly and friendly to a person who was obviously not caring for their animal. read more

The dr. Doses are amazing! Their prices for dental were very reasonable and they were very friendly and thorough with the whole process. You can tell they really care about the animals and love what they do. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with them for dental work. They have my business for all my pets needs! read more

Dr. Sharon Doses is Wonderful!, smart and very caring. She only saw my little dog one time and was able to tell something major was wrong with her. She knew UC Davis was the place to take her. She called and faxed me all the information I needed. After receiving the results, (my little doggie had a very rare heart disease) she emailed me and again talked to me on the phone. She spent a lot of time and research on this little doggie and was very comforting to me. Thank you Dr. Dose! read more

Dr Tom is the mildest mannered Vet I have ever encountered. I took our oldest cat there because he had started limping after jumping off our counters at home. Tom was very gentle with him and suggested that I leave him there so they could x-ray the elbow to make sure there was no permanent damage. They also ran a geriatric blood panel to make sure there was nothing else going on. The prices were unbelievably low. The entire thing was maybe $120. I have only had one interaction with Sharon. She removed the stitches on our youngest one after her spaying. She is more down to business -- but very professional and competent. I believe she is the surgeon in the family and Tom is the front office expert. They make a wonderful team and I would trust them both for anything that a small animal needs. By the way, they specialize in only small animals (cats and small dogs). read more

I've never dealt with him but she's absolutely terrible. No people skills in the least and told me to find a new vet when I cancelled, the morning of, my cat's spay due to me having pneumonia and being in the hospital. I was planning to fire them after her spay anyway but ended up getting it done cheaper at the humane society and now we are at Baring and I'm completely happy with them. read more

The best vets area. They are very reasonable and are around 24 hours a day for your ER needs. Have been using them for over 15 years. Gave my pekingese a 10% chance of making it from a illness and she pulled though and lived to be 13. Awesome people. read more

Our two little Chihuahuas are our world. After moving here three years ago I was very unimpressed with the vets here. Vets that are not open on the weekend? Not acceptable. Dr. Dose and Dr. Dose are a great husband/wife team. Sharon is direct, but she cares as deeply about your pet as you do. She is definitely a pet advocate more over than being soft and fuzzy with the owner! Tom is mid-west and a warm caring person. They are both knowledgeable and caring. Take your pick! They run the office themselves, saving money so you can give your pet the care it needs. Need I say more? read more

Dr. Tom & Sharon are absolutely wonderful. Reasonable prices and excellent service. My cats love going to see them.

Both Dr's Dose were very professional and knowledgeable. They took care of my baby girl, Felicity, who is my first female dog. They told exactly what to expect from the surgery and even called me to let me know when the surgery was complete, to let me know she was OK and just resting until the agreed 5pm pick up time. read more

I was very happy to get in to DR Dose (woman) she was very insightful and able to communicate with me about my dogs problem. Her prices are very fair (great for dental!) and I look forward to using her for all my vet needs. read more

Chewy and I love Doses Pet vets! They are very reasonable in price and really care for chewy. I won't go anywhere else :)

Nice people. The pet docs here are very thorough in explaining procedures. They obviously love animals and take good care of the pets they treat. read more

I was visiting here for several weeks with family and come to the area frequently from Portland, OR. Thought it would be a good idea to have a "just in case" vet here and took them into Pet Vets. Dr. Sharon Dose found an ongoing ear infection in my little girl and discovered the reason and treated my male who had been chewing himself. Let me note, they had both been to my Portland Vet eight days before that visit where both of these conditions were missed. I was amazed at the care, compassion, and love they received and if necessary would plan a trip here just so my dog can receive their care. read more

I was incredibly happy with my visit to the Dose Duo. The thing that really made my day was that I was provided with the knowledge I needed to make informed decisions, and then given options. I received my cat from the Nevada Humane Society, and unfortunately she lost one of her eyes while in their care. We have been dealing with fluid buildup in the missing socket, and had to change vets as our previous bet went out of business. I regret we didn't know about this office sooner. It's obvious in every action that the doctors care about their furry patients as much as I would like to be cared for by a physician. And the best part is that the issue was resolved -for 1/3 less the initial examination fee the competitor they recommended me to- charged! An examination, I might add, that was never actually completed but charged to my card anyways. In closing my experience was phenomenal. Highly recommended. Please give these folks your money when your fuzzy family member needs some TLC, they will thank you for it. read more

The Dr's Dose have been my dog's vets for several years and they are lovely. I always leave feeling like I've learned something about my pet and his health with the peace of mind that he's receiving quality, yet affordable, care. The Doses have unusual hours, but it works for us. They are also a good source for inexpensive pet meds for flea/tick prevention and allergies! read more

I absolutely love these people. Every time I call with an issue they are quick to get me in the next day. I recently had to take my pug in for an infected anal gland and Dr. Sharon Dose got the procedure done in the same day, gave me all of the information on alternatives to surgery if that were the route I'd like, and made sure to give me the details on exactly what was found during the procedure as well as what I need to do for the post op care. I know these doctors care deeply for my pug as I do and I am happy to continue with their services. read more

Dr. Dose was wonderful. Thorough and gentle. I really felt like he cared about my cat and he answered all of my questions and was very kind and patient. I recommend him for sure! read more

Not a fan of this place AT ALL! The veterinarians were rushed, rude, and condescending. They are cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for. read more

Won't help you out at all if your dog is more than 30 pounds... let's be honest here, not everyone has lap dogs Dr. Dose!

These are the best educated vets in Reno. Sharon and Tom are there for the animals and go above and beyond what any other vet I've ever been to even thinks of doing. The reason they are so inexpensive is because they do it for the animals not the money. Other vets overcharge and people can't pay so they have their pets euthenized. These are the most passionate vets in all Reno if not the country! read more

I've taken my small dogs to the Dose's on a recommendation from a friend and I'm only sorry they won't see my much larger dogs. Both doctors are patient, extremely competent and kind. Their fees are much less than any other vet practice I've been to in Reno or California, because their office is definitely no frills. Since I don't care about frills, I appreciate paying less for quality care. You have to call one day prior to schedule an appointment and may have to leave a message when you call, but you are always called back immediately. Be prepared to spend more time than you are used to at a vet appointment because teaching is a huge part of their preventative care. My next visit will be for dental care, for a fraction of what my friends have spent elsewhere. I wish they were people doctors too. read more

Usually ppl/ animals hate the Vet, but always a great experience when u come here!! Always great with the animals and super nice to my fiancé and I... Never switching vets as long as I'm in Reno!!:) read more

THANK YOU !!!! To both Doctors, you have blessed me with the best care of my companion. My dog has Additions Disease, they have done a beautiful job cleaning his teeth. I am very thankful that they are careful with his condition. Also it is very affordable for people on a fixed income. read more
