Oswego Animal Hospital

I had my 3 kittens spayed by Dr. Jacobson. He called me when he was done, putting my mind at ease. He and his staff are very knowledgeable, caring and it's obvious they love what they do!

I let my 3 dogs out in the back yard to clean and when I let them in, my Maltese, Throttle, was dragging his hind end and could not use his rear legs. I scooped him up and checked if he had an injury or been bitten. I then went to my local vet to see what was wrong. I ...was told luxating patella was causing the paralysis in his rear legs. I called 3 hospitals to see what the procedure was and what costs were involved. A very important factor to me was being able to bring my pet home the same day so I could care for him during the post operation period. Oswego Animal Hospital was the most reasonably priced and allowed the animal to be home the same day. Dr Jacobsen was very informative regarding the potential fixes that could be done based on the level or grade of my dog?s issue. He demonstrated the luxating patella problem using a sample bone structure of a dog?s leg. Surgery was the next week. As soon as surgery was complete, I received a phone call from Dr Jacobsen to tell me how he had done. When I picked up my pet, Dr Jacobsen gave me a full recap of the surgery process and showed me pictures in a medical book of exactly what had been done. He provided anti-inflammatory medicine and antibiotics to prevent infection.\t\nThrottle came home with a bandage on his rear leg to protect the staples that held the incision together.After 10 days we returned to have the staples removed. The incision had healed very nicely. No infection, just a small skin irritation due to bandage removal that Dr Jacobsen advised I put Neosporin on and it went away in a few days. Dr Jacobsen advised me it would take 8-12 weeks for a full recovery and we were well on our way to being better than new! I highly recommend Dr Jacobsen and Oswego Animal Hospital. Everyone I have been in contact with at his office is very helpful and very caring of the animals and their owners. I drove all the way from Wheaton, IL to use this vet and I am glad I did.\t\n \t\n Read More

Oswego Animal Hospital will be one of the first veterinary hospitals to offer digital imaging in the state. Even before many of the University Teaching Hospitals begin using this new diagnostic tool, there will be a local veterinarian with technology to see inside you...r pet like never before. This imaging equipment uses less radiation than conventional xrays making it simply safer. The ability to dial in specific soft tissues, internal organs, and bones make it more likely to find a problem sooner than ever. This clinic, previously know for budget veterinary medicine, has been able to significantly increase the level of care with cutting edge technology and keep the prices the same as they were.

I took my two cats to this clinic 2 years ago for a front declaw. A month ago both of my cats started limping and had open sores on the bootom of their paws. I took them to my NEW vet and was told that they needed RE-DECLAWED. I then took them to 2 other vets and got... the same response. It turns out the orignal declaw was done improperly and their claws were partially growing back, not to mention both cats were obviously in serious pain. I contacted Oswego Animal Hospital and then took them in to see the vet. He was very unkind, called me a b**** and said never to come back to his office. He denyed any wrong doing. The 3 other vets I took them to told me the opposite. It's a slice and dice vet with people that have no compassion! STAY AWAY! Read More

This was the second animal hospital I checked out when I moved to the area. Their motto is, "Quality Veterinary Care at Fair Prices", which I suppose it correct. They seem to be about the same as what I was paying at my last vet's office. D...
