Chicago Veterinary Emergency Center and Specialty Care

"Cannot thank the staff enough for their care and compassion. It was a sad morning but they helped make the best of what was left for our pup."

"My dog icing was hit by a car December 25th now remember before I brought her in she was okay just a broken leg she was alert she was just in pain she was scooting on her legs. I brought her in they ran test the doctor explained that icing was going to die she was never going to walk again she constantly repeated that my dog was going to die & I needed to put her down her exact words where “ No matter how much money you spend your dog will not have a chance of ever walking again” I then signed an agreement stating I would like to take my dog Home because I don’t have the funds she also gave her pain medication “fentanyl” I then waited for my dog to come out I waited almost an hour. My dog came out & I was just in total shock my dog was half dead like she was forced to get put down my dog wasn’t moving she wasn’t blinking I feel like no dog mother should ever go through this I had to lay my dog to rest on Christmas the worst thing I ever done."

"Finally- doctors you can TRUST! I brought my pug in because he was having urinary complications. Thankfully we live less than 10 minutes away from this facility so we were able to bring my Beefy in and was triaged almost immediately upon entering. Initially a vet had told us that Beefy would have to stay overnight for potential emergency surgery for his issue, but that they would run tests on him and try an alternative for surgery and see if he responded well to it. Beefy did stay overnight, but was so well cared for and responded to treatment that we were able to avoid surgery altogether. Every time I nervously called to check in on him the staff was very understanding and so sweet. I’m beyond grateful for them"

"Service was super fast. My fur baby was taken care of right away. Surgery was quick, and my baby was in safe hands.. he was able to come out the same day in a few hours. Thank you for taking good care of my Simba"

"Excellent service for my Doxie Willie. It took a while for him to be seen, but was told about the wait. Totally understand the whole triage thing. He was treated and released a few hours later. I trust that my canine companions will be treated well at the Chicago Veterinary Emergency Room."
