Please Read! This veterinarian tried to inject my dog with…read morealmost 3x the normal injection she gets on a monthly basis. My dog has Addison's diseases and has been treated for it for 4 years without issue. Dogs that have Addison's disease require blood work quarterly to test electrolyte levels in order to assess the amount of Zycortal needed for their monthly shots. My dog requires .9mL of zycortal monthly as per her last blood work in May. My regular veterinarian is located in Virginia and tried to get her injection done at this location because I am visiting family for about a month. She is due for her injection since I am here for a while. After giving this Vet my dog's medical records that state she is to be given .9mL, the vet said they will be giving her a 2.5mL injection because of her weight. I explained to this clinic that the dosage is not based off of weight, but by blood work that was recently conducted. All records that I have for my dog shows this. They still said that they will only give it by weight. They want to give my dog almost 3x's the amount of dosage as calculated by this treatment Addison disease I highly do not recommend this veterinarian service, due to negligence on performing the right type treatment. I have verified through my regular veterinarian and other veterinarians located around this clinic, that the dosage they are trying to administer on my dog is not correct and that they should of probably analyzed my dogs records and not tried to force me to give her an incorrect amount. I talked to the manager at this location and asked the personnel at the front desk to clarify the dosage with the veterinarian, but they still wanted to administer the wrong dosage. Please verify the treatment your pets are getting at this location with another veterinarian.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my grandparents. My…read moregrandma just transferred all her animals from Animal Hospital of Gurnee, to here, after 15 years. In 1 month, Dr Joe, has found and fixed problems that the other hospital neglected to find. Her dog has had a peeing problem for over 10 years and the other hospital couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. They did blood work but never a X-ray. Years have gone by and he's gotten worse. My poor grandparents were on the floor endlessly scrubbing his accidents, FOR YEARS! Until one day, my grandma got pissed off enough and decided to look for someone closer. That's when she found Dr joe ! In 1 month, they've figured out his problem and already having a plan on treatment. This poor dog has lived w Kidney stones for 10 years without being diagnosed by the other hospital. My grandma is heart broken over never getting a 2nd opinion and just trusting the 1st vet, his whole entire doggie life. My grandparents are retired and live on a fixed income, in SaddleBrooke Farms. This animal hospital, gives seniors, from SaddleBrooke a discount on their bill!!!!!!! LIKE, WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE ?! I know a handful in the area that doesn't, including the old animal hospital she went to for so many years. We have asked for discounts for years over there. Being on a fixed income and my grandma having a big heart w rescuing animals, needed a break sometimes. But, they never gave it to her. My grandparents couldn't be any happier, right now.

I moved to Illinois in July and took my 18 year old cat here to get him established with a vet in…read morethe area. The first visit was ok, as it was just a recheck. Early September, my Bear (who has CKD) started vomiting. It took me almost a week to get an appt with another vet there. By the time he went for the visit the vomiting had stopped. I asked to have blood work done to check his kidney values and the vet told me that the results were similar to his values from June that had been taken before our move. But after checking at home, they were not. I wanted his BP tested also and they could not do it because the machine was not working properly. I was told that the blood work would show his potassium levels, as he does have low potassium. But when the results were processed the vet said "of that test didn't include the potassium?" She told me his phosphorus was high but did not seemed concerned about that at all and did not suggest any additional medications or suggest to give him fluids at the office. I was told, just come back in 6 months. I feel like this place did not want to be bothered by trying to make an 18 year old cat comfortable since they knew he would not be a long term patient. I was very disappointed in the lack of concern for my senior cat. They did not suggest for me to bring him back for the BP test or give me any options of how we could make him more comfortable. 5 days later, I took him to an urgent care clinic in Libertyville and had a totally different experience. They ran blood work again and told me that he is in end stage kidney failure. They gave him Cerenia for the nausea, SubQ fluids and I was told to order something from Chewy to help decrease his phosphorus levels. This place was fantastic and I wish I would go to them for all of my pets needs. I have two other young cats and will definitely be taking them to someone other that Village Veterinary Clinic.

This company keeps removing my review. Take your pet elsewhere. This vet killed my cat by…read morenegligence. * Repost because the review was removed within 24 hrs.* This place is negligent. Meanwhile my family is suffering the loss of our 13 year old cat who was perfectly fine in April. We took Sox in due to no interest in food and rapid weight loss. His original vet is Fox Lake and unfortunately we had to switch to a different vet that allowed appointments. This vet did multiple lab work ups and it was clear that his wbc (24.4) and neutrophil (22448) was continuing to rise. In addition, his labs showed precision PSL 39 which is pancreatitis. On top of that, they revealed an abscess and tooth decay so severe that his tooth was split in half. (Sox continued to lose weight at each appointment and we continued to stress that he was not eating despite appetite stimulants and nausea/vomiting medication administration). They couldn't perform surgery to remove the decayed teeth for an entire week, despite they already had Sox under anesthesia for the oral examine but weren't staffed properly to remove the infected teeth at that time. So Sox was given another steroid on July 3rd to help get him through the holiday weekend. Unfortunately on July 5th, we had to take Sox into an emergency vet in Crystal Lake and his labs were all out of the norm, he was lethargic, they couldn't retrieve a blood pressure, his temperature was 93.6. They gave him fluids iv bolus to help restore his BP and that helped, then the second iv bolus he coded, CPR was done, Sox had a heartbeat again, and then coded again leaving us no choice but to put him out of his pain. Weak blood pressure, lethargy, low temp are all signs of acute pancreatitis. The labs that were done on 6/26 indicates there was something going on with his pancreas. However, the vet overlooked it. Nonetheless, Companion RL gave Sox a total of 3 steroid injections just in a few weeks to try to stimulate his appetite and 'reduce inflammation.' Nonetheless, a steroid suppresses the immune system. Despite all these cues, they still did not speak about antibiotics and in fact they continued to tell me it was not necessary, all of this is stemming from "stress." I would strongly encourage everyone to look into a different vet. This place is negligent, expensive and inadequate. They would rather perform test after test after test before they begin doing any interventions to treat the problem.

OVERALL this is hands-down absolutely the all-time best veterinary clinic you will find in the…read moretri-state area or a 4 hour driving window. trust me, I would know-- I used to live in a RV with my 5 dogs. The staff is incredibly kind and well mannered despite the constant level of high stress & anxiety they clearly face daily. 1st of all home slice; This is an emergency vet clinic, which means that it's walk-in only. they do schedule for surgeries and vaccinations weeks out, but they don't schedule pets by appointment/time; they schedule peta based on arrival time and emergency priority. I used to not understand this but now I do; it's because emergencies happen and sometimes they need to drop everything to try to save a dog's life. if you come on an off day or less busy time/day you can get in and out in an hour or less! when my runt was hit by a car; I called them and told that I was coming down the road and they saw him the moment I entered the clinic (he lives!) The reason people have to wait is because they prioritize what dogs they see based on the emergency level. And after both waiting several hours at a busy time and being seen immediately, I understand why they run it that way. PRICE: This is the most affordable vet clinic I've ever found. There's a reason I've been coming here for over a decade! I get their vaccinations here. I do their bloodwork here I do heartworm testing here. I get my dogs dental done here. I've had several of my dogs put under for different minor cyst removals here. I've had x-rays & checkover done when my dog was hit by a car (he lived and he's OK:) I will scream it from the rooftops; This is the absolute best veterinarian clinic I've ever found in my 20+ years of looking. I have three dogs now, i've had 6 total so far in life and if you bring in multiple dogs or if you have a dog that needs multiple procedures done, they have always given me a stack up deal. They are very supportive and they want your pet to be healthy. Just bring your dog to them. just trust me. just do it. SUPER affordable. STAFF & FACILITY All the staff are great! very nice Sharon Sarah Dawn Debbie Blue Elliott Elizabeth everyone is cool dawg it's chill the Drs are all awesome super smart & patient, there are several that rotate shifts /times/days. they are great! they will always answer my many endless questions. they have always cared about giving me good information when I ask what I should do. They are so kind. They put my dogs needs first and they give me incredible feedback about how to be a good pet owner. super affordable super kind. i'm loyal to this place. TIMING: If you have a ROUTINE check up or simple procedure or basic check in that you need to bring your dog for; just don't come on a Monday or a Friday (unless they schedule you for surgery which is always on fridays) because that's when they're the most busy. Come early morning, right when they open on like a Wednesday or Thursday and you won't even barely have to wait in line with your dog/cat I bet. or like a thursday after 1pm sometimes it's super quick & no wait! just depends on how many local area pups have tummy aches etc. please do not poo poo the quality of people who patron this clinic because at the heart of this clinic is a staff and doctors who care about your pets and giving them incredible service at an affordable price. It is really hard to get good care for your pet. We love our animals. We bring them to Fox Lake animal hospital because they are affordable and they CARE about giving you & your pet a good experience. It's so obvious to me that they don't care about frills and extra BS here they care about giving you QUALITY care for your pet without breaking your bank over nonsense fees or making you scared to come to the Vet. you shouldn't be scared to take your dog to the vet. This place is very comfortable.

But logistically it just made sense to have a closer hospital relationship with our aging Bernese. Well...luckily we did that, because I cannot imagine life without the AHLV team now. Not just for their cute videos, the community fundraisers for socializing with other pups/people or the love for their team, but the utterly amazing intense respect and appreciation they have for the animals that come into their lives. Tear jerker time...Our oldest girl Tonka three years ago contracted Lyme disease. The full big girl version with lameness starting. We do not have human children, she is our little love filled fur baby. Dr Unger, Grace and Matt all gave me updates and not just "updates" it was with so much understanding and genuine care for our family that my scared/angry/sad/panicked momma heart actually felt comfort in our decisions and the best course of action to treat. I knew and understood everything that could and should hopefully happen. Their amazing staff brought my girl back to nearly untouched health and I still tear up thinking about it. We were lucky. But luck is only a very small part of it. AHLV is the rest of that piece. We are now a few years later and have our new "little" Leonberger pup that is of course going to them. With covid it's been interesting to say the least not being able to walk in with our pup. But I tell you what, when Grace's smiling face and Brittani's bubbly self bounce out of the door they are definitely aware that a 70lb 5 month old Puca is ready to rocket out into their arms with kisses coming very shortly after! Thank you everyone at AHLV for helping US through an incredibly scary thing with grace and patience and for all the care you show for even the normal appointments. I can't imagine in any way taking our Tonka and Puca girls to anyone else's arms.

I am writing to share my concerns about the care my cat received from Dr. Levin and my overall…read moreexperience with the clinic. My cat was recently started on a hyperthyroid medication at the lowest available dose. After beginning the medication, my cat went from eating approximately two cans of food per day to not eating for two days. During my visit, I was extremely concerned about the sudden loss of appetite and hoped for guidance on how to help my cat eat. Instead, I felt that the focus was placed primarily on additional testing and prescribing an anti-nausea medication without fully exploring the cause of the problem. After seeking a second opinion online, I learned that my cat may have developed a food aversion because the medication was causing nausea. This explanation fit the situation and helped me better understand what was happening. I was disappointed that this possibility was not explored during my appointment and that I was not asked questions that might have led to this conclusion. I was also uncomfortable with several aspects of the examination. Dr. Levin grabbed my cat by the back of the neck without first speaking to me about it or attempting to build rapport with my cat. The handling appeared to cause discomfort, and I found the interaction upsetting. Additionally, Dr. Levin stated that my cat had cancer despite no testing having been performed to support that conclusion, citing the lack of appetite as evidence. Given the number of possible explanations for a cat suddenly refusing food, I found this statement premature and alarming. To be clear, I am proceeding with the recommended diagnostic testing because I want to do everything possible for my cat. However, the experience left me with serious concerns about the quality of care, communication, and clinical judgment I received. The following day, after obtaining new information from another veterinarian, I requested a second opinion within the practice and asked for a prompt phone consultation to discuss a day-to-day care plan for my sick cat. My request was denied by the clinic owner. As a result, I have decided to seek care elsewhere and have scheduled an appointment with a new veterinarian. I am sharing this feedback because I believe these concerns warrant review and because I hope future clients and patients receive a more thoughtful and collaborative experience

He was 35lbs when I first brought him home ballooned up to 50lbs (too much for a dog his size). He was also extremely anxious, stressed, and very fear aggressive. The first thing Odette did was do blood work and saliva tests. Lo and behold, my dog was allergic to chicken! The main ingredient in his prescription food. Under Dr. Suter's care, I learned all about animal health and nutrition. My dog's anxiety and stress is getting much better as well. She also did some chiropractic work on him (he skips on his back legs) and he's now doing so much better than I could have ever thought.
