Canine Center,

Lake Villa, IL 60046

"We just started visiting Canine Center a little over a month ago, but have been in multiple times with two senior dogs who needed the consistency and care of a reliable vet practice. I had been trying to find a new vet for awhile now, with rough experiences along the way. I was referred to Dr. Barcus from a current client and we are grateful to have found a vet who is considerate when it comes to diagnosing, treatment, and what a mom of two senior dogs is going through. Thank you to the staff of Canine Center for their patience and kindness."

"Love this place! Very clean, warm & welcoming. My dog is happy to enter through the door! Dr. Barcus is great at explaining everything in ways that I understand. Their tech, Lexi is awesome too!"

"Dr Barcus and staff are great. I'm so happy we found Canine Center. Dr. Barcus is beyond knowledgeable on the newest treatments and fully explains options. We're so grateful for her help in treating our dog in her senior years and making Gracie (and us) comfortable after her cancer diagnosis. I wish we had found Canine Center sooner!"

"We are new to IL and I have a GSD. Dilly loves going to the vet and they have been really great with her there. They let her be herself, and she does well with them."

"We have been going to Canine Center for many years and they have taken care of our dogs from infancy to senior. The care and understanding that is shown by the doctor and all her staff is wonderful. The doctor takes the time to explain diagnoses, procedures and medications so that the client understands the treatment their best friend is receiving. We love that Canine Center does not recommend unnecessary treatments or vaccinations for conditions our pups would never encounter, and the doctor has always been open an honest about the effectiveness of any recommended procedures. Prices for treatment and prescriptions are very reasonable and you can be sure you'll receive any available promotions or manufacturer's discounts on products. The doctor is passionate about dogs as you can see when you first walk into the clinic in Lake Villa, and she is always researching the best for our canine friends. You can find her name on web pages, studies, papers and publications penned over the last 25 years, from Tufts University, to specific breed clubs, dog nutrition, exercise, agility training, and canine enrichment programs and activities. Early morning, evening and weekend appointments are available which fits wonderfully with our busy schedule, and they have accommodated emergency appointments during office hours when our pups have needed them."
