They are very professional and carrying. The office (Michelle) is super responsive, easy to deal with. Our walker (Ruben) is the BEST. He is always on time, leaves really great detailed notes along with cute pictures after each walk. :) I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend them.

The app makes it easy to request and track visits, and I get emailed updates every visit with a note and a photo of each pet! Greta has visited my cats several times and I couldn't be happier with her and Prairie Path's service.

FANTASTIC VETERINARIANS, COMPRABLE PRICES, BUT…read more...... My review is based on coming here for over 18 months. The veterinarian who has seen my dog, Annie, is fantastic. Dr. Houle is very knowledgeable and explains details in a way that anyone can understand. You don't need a medical degree to understand the information she provides regarding your pet's health. Prices are comprable, but I have had several issues that are making me question whether or not I should continue taking my dog here. I like that Dr. Houle is a very good listener. I am my dog's medical advocate. Therefore, I ask lots and lots of questions. I'm also not afraid to say "No" if I believe it is not going to benefit my dog. For example, every year Annie gets a rabies shot as well as a phy hisical examination. They offer a full blood workup during the annual physical exam for only $145 but I always say "no thank you." If you get the full blood workup on your cat or dog any other time of the year the cost is $199, but they never offer a partial blood work up which is a lot LESS in cost. They never mention a partial blood work up. I had a partial blood work up on Annie at the Chicago Premier Animal Hospital for only $85 Unless my dog has a life-threatening issue I will not purchase medication from Forest Glen Animal Hospital. Medications are incredibly expensive. I usually order medications from chewy.com because I save money. If your dog has a skin infection try using an antifungal/antibacterial dog shampoo. The medicated bath helps my dog. However, it has not cleared up the infection because sometimes an infection may require an antibiotic medication. The antibiotic I ordered from chewy.com is only $16 but Forest Glen charges almost $30 (chewy.com is still making a profit at $16). I have been frustrated because I had to follow up with Forest Glen Animal Hospital not once, not twice, but 3 separate times. WTH! Dr Houle is a very competent veterinarian. I really like her and she has been fantastic treating my dog. She is very professional. I never feel rushed by her. I appreciate she allows me to ask as many questions as I want and answers them thoroughly. Sometimes it is the "little things" that happen at a veterinarian clinic which make clients seek veterinarian services elsewhere. As long as Dr. Houle is there I will continue taking my dog to Forest Glen. There is no excuse for dropping the ball. If a dog or cat requires medication, the staff needs to check email and incoming faxes on a very regular basis. I seem to always follow up with Forest Glen to remind them to please authorize my Dog's medication. I should not need to do this on a regular basis. Obviously, something is off with the administrative staff. These issues should be addressed. Solutions should be implemented with their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

The vet here wrote the wrong prescription for my dog. I went to various pharmacies, spent hours…read moredoing this, to be told by them they had no idea what to do with the rx. We delayed treatment for our dog who has pneumonia because we were unable to find a pharmacy capable of filling out the wrong rx. I finally called the vet and said I don't think it's right. Only at THAT point did they realize their mistake. They had the receptionist apologize to me, but not the doctor. When I asked for an apology from the doctor, here's the email I got back: "While we understand it was upsetting to have an error in a written prescription, our hospital immediately apologized and corrected the error. Your request is inappropriate and is emphatically denied. We will send full records to Bramer. We wish you and Violet all the best. This will be the final communication from our hospital." Classless and cowardly. 1 star. Do NOT take animals you care about here. EDIT: In their response they say "the energy I brought was not appropriate to the situation." I said, and I quote: "I would appreciate an apology from the vet who wrote the wrong prescription." The person running this office is totally unhinged.

Highly recommend.

We could not have asked for better service especially while being out of the country. I have used CC and DD for several years now between at least three apartments in Chicago. I have never had problems with logistics, keys, or receiving notifications daily on our two cats. Highly recommend them for great service and business sense as well as being true animal lovers. Thank you!

I searched and searched for a dog walking company on Thumbtack and on Yelp and finally came across…read moreone that served the Northbrook area. HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!

I thought I had already written a review and was coming to update it, but apparently I have not, so…read morethis is LONG overdue. Chris and her colleagues have been taking care of my pug, Ernie, for several years now. After meeting her on the street, where she fawned all over Ernie, and learning that she was my neighbor's dog walker, I got her information from my neighbor and she's been caring for him ever since. She no longer walks dogs regularly herself, but the other walkers I've had have always been great, and Chris regularly watches him when I'm traveling. She has always cared for him like he is her own and I know he is constantly showered with love whenever I am gone. The most recent experience to show you how dedicated she is was when she very likely saved his eye by her extraordinary care. I was away in New York and Chris was watching Ernie when he got a corneal ulcer (very common in pugs and due to no fault of Chris's). Between her and Dana (my walker), they worked together to make sure he was under constant supervision and got everything he needed to make sure the ulcer healed with medication and without surgery. She took him to the vet multiple times (including emergency vet and eye specialist) and kept in constant communication with me to let me know how he was doing. I contemplated flying home but it would've meant spending/losing a lot of money. The only reason I was able to stay was I knew Ernie was in wonderful hands, and she cares for him just as I would have. He just went back to the vet today and he is healing extremely well. The ulcer was pretty severe initially, so I am certain it is Chris's diligent care that kept him from going blind or losing the eye. I know I am grateful and I am sure Ernie is too!!!
