Located in the heart of Chicago, our clinic is an integrative, full-service animal care center that offers both conventional and holistic approaches to canine and feline health. We recognize that your pets are more than just animals; they are members of your family, and we are committed to treating each one with the love and attention they truly deserve.
Our team of experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians is passionate about delivering comprehensive care that addresses not only your pet's medical requirements but also your emotional, financial, and practical needs. We provide a wide range of services designed to keep your pets healthy and happy, including wellness and illness visits, general surgery, end-of-life care, and referral services.
Our Services
We offer a variety of services tailored to meet the unique needs of your pets. Our wellness and illness visits include annual exams, preventative care such as vaccines and titer testing, laboratory services, radiology, cold laser therapy, nutritional counseling, and complete oral assessments and treatments. We also provide surgical services like spay/neuter procedures, mass removals, and cystotomies. For pets with advanced conditions, we offer quality of life assessments, palliative care, and humane euthanasia options.
Our commitment to your pet's comfort and well-being extends beyond medical treatment. We provide in-house imaging services, ensuring that diagnostic results are discussed promptly via telehealth calls. Additionally, we offer telehealth appointments for convenient consultations and follow-ups. Our compassionate approach to end-of-life care includes at-home euthanasia options, cremation services through Hinsdale Animal Cemetery, and memorial items to help you honor your pet's memory.
