History
Dr. Laura Hokett was raised in Little Rock, went to undergraduate school here in Fayetteville, and then went to veterinary school at LSU, where she graduated in 1987. Despite attending a Tiger graduate school, she is a true Razorback fan at heart. She lived in Las Vegas for 17 years, operating two large progressive animal hospitals before returning to Fayetteville in 2004. Best Friends was her dream hospital, and she opened it in 2005. Dr. Hokett has two grown children who have recently graduated from Colorado State University. Ross, her son, completed a degree in hydrogeology and her daughter, Emily, graduated with a degree in animal science and is working on her Master's degree, after which, she plans to apply to veterinary school. Dr. Hokett currently lives with six dogs, a cat, and an African grey parrot, Ms. Pepper, who frequently accompanies her to work. She spends her free time volunteering for various humane societies, studying advanced veterinary medicine, as well as spending time at the lake, and traveling as much as possible.
